Steph Curry contemplating different career moves once he retires from NBA
While Steph Curry isn't retiring from the NBA, he likely has more basketball behind him than he does in front of him. So the Golden State Warriors star is contemplating what comes next. During an interview with CNBC, Curry revealed a career in broadcasting, having some type of ownership involvement in a team and even playing on PGA Tours are on his list. Advertisement 'The idea of being a part of an ownership group and the right opportunity that allows me to have an impact on how a franchise should be operated — how you're going after true winning, like we've done here with the Warriors — that's something I'm excited about pursuing," Curry told CNBC. 'It's interesting. Obviously, as an active player, you can't participate in that level until you're done. So you'll see me in the seat somewhere down the road.' While Curry admitted he might not be able to afford majority ownership of an NBA team, he expressed interest in potentially buying a WNBA franchise. If Curry were to go into broadcasting — something many former players have done — he wouldn't jump right into it. Another option for the 37-year-old is professional golf. In 2023, the four-time NBA champion won the American Century Championship, shooting a 72 en route to the victory. Advertisement 'It's an extremely challenging tour to crack if you're not one of the champion ex-PGA guys that are making that jump after you turn 50,' Curry said. 'So to do all the qualifying journey and all that — I'm pretty sure I'll try it. I've seen guys who are preparing themselves to do the same thing." There are plenty of options for Curry when he decides to walk away from basketball. But he wants to make sure he makes the best possible decision for himself. 'Right now, just doing your homework on the different pathways and options that might be available,' he said. More Celtics content Read the original article on MassLive.

Warriors' Stephen Curry Showing Interest in New Career After NBA
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. With the NBA Finals set to begin, the 2024-25 season is about to come to an end. Another season has come and gone for Golden State Warriors superstar point guard Stephen Curry.

Unfortunately, in the second round of the playoffs Curry went down with a hamstring injury and Golden State was defeated in five games by the Minnesota Timberwolves. At 37 years old, Curry is still playing at an extremely high level. However, age will catch up to him before long and fans may only have a few more years watching him play the game he has dominated for so long.

He has interest in pursuing playing on the PGA Tour Champions someday, which is the tour for former PGA players who are over the age of 50. "That would be a fun goal to go after for sure," Curry said. "It's an extremely challenging tour to crack if you're not one of the champion ex-PGA guys that are making that jump after you turn 50. So to do all the qualifying journey and all that — I'm pretty sure I'll try it. I've seen guys who are preparing themselves to do the same thing." While he will always be known for his basketball career, Curry has major goals for the future. Fans don't want to see him go anytime soon, but when he does retire, it sure sounds like Curry will still be a very public figure.
