Stephen Curry has won NBA championships, a league MVP, and has set all-time records in his 16 seasons playing for the Golden State Warriors. The 37-year-old point guard is a surefire Hall of Famer the minute he decides to walk away from the NBA. In an interview with CNBC’s Alex Sherman, Curry hinted at what his post-NBA career aspirations could be, including potential team ownership and maybe a future in broadcasting.
Meanwhile, Curry was asked about a role in sports media following his career, which he said he would consider “for sure.”
“A lot of ex-NBA guys are behind the booth now whether it’s commentating or in studio,” said Curry to CNBC. “I would be more patient about what would be the right opportunity for me. Anything that I would do I want to all in on it. Right now, I’m just doing homework on the different pathways and options that might be available.”
At the same time, Curry has not officially announced his retirement from the NBA, as he is still under contract to play with the Warriors through the 2027 season. However, he did announce following the Warriors’ season that he is planning to come back and play for the 2025–2026 season. Still, rumors have been swirling every summer for the last couple of years.
Furthermore, last summer the NBA renewed its partnership with The Walt Disney Company and signed new agreements with NBCUniversal and Amazon for telecasts of league games beginning in the 2025–26 season and running through the 2035–36 campaign. Within this new media rights agreement, the reach of NBA telecasts will be augmented through the utilization of linear and digital means of distribution, including on streaming services such as Prime Video, Peacock, and the forthcoming ESPN direct-to-consumer product.
In addition, several notable names have been scooped up by both NBC and Amazon in recent months to anchor the coverage for the networks, including Carmelo Anthony, Vince Carter, and Michael Jordan.
