Stephen Curry, Drawing on His Time With the Warriors, Describes His Ideal System For Running An NBA Team
In his sixteen years with the Warriors, Stephen Curry witnessed the team’s rise from the NBA’s gutter to become one of the most storied dynasties in the league, thanks to one of the greatest ownership groups in the nation. Curry, whose career is winding down, has been candid about his aspirations to become a team owner and how the success of the Warriors’ Joe Lacob has influenced his attitude as an NBA owner.
Michael Jordan is the one I’ve seen do it. In preparation for the [NBA] potential expansion in a few years, there are currently players in the league who are making the required moves to be considered legitimate players. In my opinion, that is certainly an option to consider.
Using everything I’ve learned as an NBA player and an expert at leading championship teams, I believe I could do a respectable job of helping the league maintain its current level of excellence. A family named Lacob and Guber… When you treat the players like royalty and put in the time and effort to make them feel special, it shows. That’s how we keep our level of performance high while we hoop.
Curry has made it plain that he has more goals to achieve as a player before he starts to shift his focus to becoming an NBA owner, in case any worried Warriors fans were wondering.
There is a lot more for me to do as a player before I can advance to a different position in the league, and that much is obvious. However, I am keen on becoming an integral element of the ownership scene.
Even at age 36, guard Stephen Curry is still one of the NBA’s top performers, and in 2024β25, he will begin his 16th season with the Warriors. Despite his solid play (26.4% shooting, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game), the Warriors were eliminated in the Play-In round and failed to reach the playoffs for the third consecutive year.
Stephen Curry Could Inflict a Headache on Joe Lacob Without a proprietor Despite his obvious admiration and respect for Joe Lacob and the other Warriors owners, Wanrts Steph has not shied away from asking for a change of scenery if the team’s prospects for success remain as dim as they have been since summer, when lifelong Warrior Klay Thompson left the franchise.
If the Warriors are unable to contend for a playoff spot in the Western Conference, Curry has made it plain that he may not be able to continue with the club with which he just signed a one-year agreement.
Being a warrior is my lifelong dream, as I’ve stated before. I think that’s doable where I am in my work right now. Achieving victory is paramount, yet it’s clear that you have a realistic outlook… You have to mix things up and constantly rethink how it looks to adapt to the current state of the league and the current positions of these talented teams… In the event that you’re a bottom feeder and your motivation is to remain in that position, I would find it difficult to support you. On the other hand, I really doubt that will be the case.
If Curry were a team owner, he would be terrified by the thought of his franchise’s lynchpin departing. Perhaps that has always been Curry’s aim, since the Warriors had the necessary parts to mount a win-now effort if they wanted to.
Their decision not to acquire Paul George and Lauri Markannen in the summer trades suggests that they are patiently waiting for the perfect opportunity to get Curry’s new co-star.
