Steph Curry on NBA team ownership: It's definitely on the table

Four-time NBA Champion Steph Curry is already planning for life after basketball.

On Tuesday, the 10-time NBA All-Star discussed his future plans, including his basketball career, businesses, and goals, on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street."

Curry, who is 36 years old, owns a media company called Unanimous Media and a youth golf tour called Underrated, in addition to other business ventures. He revealed to CNBC that he has a dream of owning an NBA team one day.

""I believe I can contribute to maintaining the NBA's excellence and the requirements for a championship team," said Curry."

The star shooter recently signed a one-year, $62.6 million contract extension with the Golden State Warriors, keeping him on the team through 2027. This contract will expire when Curry is 39, and the guard who led the U.S. men's basketball team to an Olympic gold medal in Paris last month stated that he still has a lot of NBA basketball ahead of him.

He acknowledged that he had much more to achieve on the court before transitioning into other league roles.

Jordan's past ownership of the Charlotte Hornets and the possibility of league expansion in the future sparked Curry's interest in ownership.

In July, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver stated that the league would consider expansion once its media deal was finalized. The league signed a new 11-year agreement worth approximately $77 billion in July, which will commence after the upcoming season.

LeBron James, Curry's longtime rival and Olympic teammate, has expressed interest in owning a team in Las Vegas if it is awarded a franchise.

According to Curry, he has observed how to manage a top-notch organization through his interactions with Golden State Warriors owners Joe Lacob and Peter Guber, who have established a benchmark for player treatment.

"Creating a first-class experience requires an investment, which enables us to perform at a high level," he stated.
