Steph Curry wants to be 'patient' ahead of potential broadcasting career

Steph Curry would love a career in broadcasting when he’s ready to hang up the shoes and retire from basketball. However, the Golden State Warriors star would want to be patient and do it when the time is right.

Curry already dipped his toe into media, such as when he founded Unanimous Media in 2018, which has produced a number of sports documentaries including Underrated. That film chronicles Curry’s rise as a college basketball player at Davidson to one of the NBA’s greatest players of all time.

But to become a broadcaster talking about basketball in a studio or as a color analyst? That might have to wait for a bit.

“I would be more patient,” Curry said to CNBC, part of the network’s new special “Curry Inc: The Business of Stephen Curry, “I think about what would be the right opportunity for me, ’cause anything that I do, I want to be all in on it. Right now, just doing your homework on the different pathways and options that might be available.”

It was another banner year for Curry. In 70 games this season, he put up 24.5 points per game, 4.4 rebounds per game, six assists per game, shot 44.8% from the floor and 39.7% from three-point range.

While it was his lowest scoring average since 2019-20, when he only played five games, Curry still led Golden State to the playoffs. After a seven-game series win over the Houston Rockets, the Warriors fell to the Minnesota Timberwolves in five games in the Western Conference semifinals.

Curry has other off-the-court ventures going on, aside from media. He accepted a role as the assistant general manager of his alma mater, Davidson, back in March.

“In his new role, Curry, who played three seasons at Davidson (2006-09), will provide guidance and advice to the male and female athletes through his experiences in college and professionally,” ESPN”s Shams Charania wrote. “He’ll work with general manager Austin Buntz, a former Under Armour global sports marketing team member.”

Charania also reported that Curry, his wife Ayesha Curry and longtime Davidson College supporters Don, Matt and Erica Berman plan on starting an eight-figure fund for both the men and women’s programs. It’s a massive development for the mid-major school.

Curry played three seasons at Davidson, where he remains the men’s basketball program’s all-time leading scorer. Curry also was a two-time All-American, two-time SoCon Player of the Year, three-time First-Team All-SoCon selection and the 2009 NCAA scoring champion.
