Stephen Curry, the star player of the Golden State Warriors, recently demonstrated why he is known as the best shooter in NBA history. The 36-year-old showcased terrific skills in the semifinal and final of the 2024 Paris Olympics, leading Team USA to their fifth straight gold medal. Now, Curry, who a former NFL player recently criticized, is gearing up to display his dominance in the upcoming NBA season, which will start in two months.
Curry and the Warriors have recently agreed to extend his contract, which will see the point guard earn around $63 million for the 2026–2027 season. Following the contract extension, the four-time NBA champion shared his thoughts on continuing to play in the NBA and his extension with the Warriors.
“It’s not different from my perspective. You have an appreciation for the position, the opportunity, and the support from people who’ve been with you on the journey. I’ve always said I wanted to play for one team my whole career. So it’s good to get (the extension) the question out of the way and give complete focus to basketball and the season“, Curry said in a recent interview with the Athletic.
Curry, the two-time NBA MVP, stated that he has always wanted to play basketball for one team throughout his career and is pleased with the contract extension. The four-time NBA champion highlighted his allegiance and thanked everyone who supported him along the way.
Curry Unveils His Game Plan For The Upcoming NBA Season
Steph Curry was one of the dominant forces behind the success of the Warriors in recent years. Alongside Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, the 10-time NBA All-Star clinched four NBA championships for the team. During the same interview, when asked about his 2024-25 season strategy, Curry mentioned that he will always aim to win the title while taking the necessary steps.
“It’s still about winning and taking the steps necessary to give ourselves a chance. The standard hasn’t changed. The expectation hasn’t changed,” Curry added.
Curry showcased exceptional skills on the court during the recent NBA season. Despite his efforts, his team lost in the Play-In tournament. However, Curry successfully won the 2023–24 NBA Clutch Player of the Year Award.
The 36-year-old averaged 26.4 points, 5.1 assists, and 4.5 rebounds in 74 games in the 2023-24 season. He was also selected to play in his tenth All-Star game. Curry is set to play the first game of the upcoming season against the Sacramento Kings, and it promises to be a fascinating spectacle.

LeBron James and Stephen Curry may have had a disappointing NBA season, but they quenched their thirst for victory by winning gold at the Paris Olympics. After their triumph, James’ business partner recently revealed that LeBron has set his sights on owning an NBA team once he retires.
Now, it seems Curry has a similar dream. In a recent interview with CNBC, the Golden State Warriors star expressed his desire to own an NBA team one day.
“For me, that’s definitely on the table. 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.
However, Curry’s ambitions of team ownership won’t be realized anytime soon. He is currently under contract with the Warriors until the end of the 2026–27 season, as he recently signed a one-year, $62.6 million contract extension. Hence, Curry’s focus remains on his playing career for now.
“I know I have a lot more to accomplish on the court before I move into other roles in the league,” he said.

Some fans even speculated that they might co-own the same team. However, while fans are intrigued by the idea of them as business partners, many are still eager to see the duo play together on the same team while owning an NBA team.
Apart from the duo, Kevin Durant also played a crucial role in leading Team USA to gold in Paris. This has led to a growing chorus of fans voicing their desire to see LeBron, Steph, and Durant team up as NBA team owners.
As speculation grows, fans are excitedly anticipating the possibility of these NBA legends teaming up, whether on the court or as future team owners.
