Title: Steph Curry Discusses Future Plans for NBA Team Ownership
Steph Curry is not only dominating the basketball court, but he’s also making big moves off the court as well. The four-time NBA Champion recently sat down with CNBC’s "Squawk on the Street" to discuss his future plans for NBA team ownership and his various ventures outside of basketball.
At just 36 years old, Curry has already established a media company, Unanimous Media, and a youth golf tour called Underrated. In addition to these ventures, Curry expressed his interest in owning an NBA team in the future.
"I think I could do a pretty good job of helping sustain how great the NBA is right now and what it takes to run a championship organization," Curry said during the interview.
Curry’s interest in team ownership was sparked by seeing former NBA superstar Michael Jordan’s ownership of the Charlotte Hornets. With the possibility of the NBA expanding in a couple of years, Curry sees a potential opportunity to fulfill his ownership aspirations.
The NBA Commissioner, Adam Silver, recently mentioned that the league will consider expansion following the completion of the new 11-year media deal worth about $77 billion. This news has not only caught Curry’s attention but also that of his longtime rival and Olympic teammate, LeBron James, who has shown interest in team ownership if Las Vegas is awarded a franchise.
Having played for the Golden State Warriors under the ownership of Joe Lacob and Peter Guber, Curry has firsthand experience of how a world-class organization should be run. He emphasized the importance of creating a first-class experience for players, which ultimately allows them to perform at their best on the court.
As a leading voice in the NBA, Steph Curry’s potential move into team ownership brings a new dynamic to the league’s future. Stay tuned to Extreme Investor Network for more insights on the business side of sports and entertainment.
