Stephen Curry , the greatest Golden State Warriors player of all time, will see what is left in his tank as he enters his 17th season in the NBA this year.
He knows that sooner or later, Father Time will come knocking on his door and 37-year old Curry wants to be prepared when that time comes.

However, despite this, Curry said he still aims to make the most out of his career as long as he can.
"Right now, I'm trying to get everything I can out of basketball ," he said in an article by Fortune's Sheryl Estrada.
"For who knows how long."
Nevertheless, this hopeful outlook has not stopped Curry from contemplating the next steps of his life once his Hall of Fame basketball career ends.
He is actively looking for and involving himself with lucrative business ventures and opportunities and someday, down the road, he sees himself in the team ownership game.

Although he has made his interest official, his plans on how to go about this after his career remains unclear.
"Team ownership…who knows what that will look like?" he asked.
Chef Curry cooking off the court
Since 2018, Curry has been the CEO of Thirty Ink, a company he founded that focuses on brand partnerships, media, investments and philanthropy. The company, which generated $173.5 million in 2024 per CNBC , owns brands such as Unanimous Media, Underrated Golf and Basketball and Gentleman's Cut Bourbon.

Meanwhile, Curry still has an ongoing partnership with Under Armour. In 2023, he signed a contract extension with the brand. The deal included naming him the president of the Curry Brand, a company sub-brand that features basketball and golf footwear and apparel.
In 2023, ESPN's Nick DePaula described the deal as possibly one of the richest-ever endorsement deals in sports history that could earn Curry more from than he ever did from his NBA contracts.
Now as he turns older, he is expanding his horizons to the possibility of owning an NBA team. And he looks to become a majority owner like Michael Jordan was with the Charlotte Hornets , aiming to elevate a franchise some day.

"The idea of being a part of an ownership group and the right opportunity that allows me to have an impact on how a franchise should be operated… that's something I'm excited about pursuing," he told CNBC in June. "It's interesting…So you'll see me in the seat somewhere down the road ."
Should Curry retire?
At 37 years old, it would not be so wrong for Curry to retire.

With his career – two MVPs, four rings, one Finals MVP, and an Olympic gold – Curry has already cemented himself as one of the greatest to ever do it, revolutionizing the game with his shooting.
However, retirement is looming for players like him, LeBron James and even Kevin Durant — three of this era's greatest.
But still, Father Time cannot catch up with him. In the 2024-2025 season, he posted averages of 24.5 points and 6.0 assists per game, enough to lead the Warriors to a 48-34 record.

His timeless brilliance helped the team return to the playoffs, where it defeated a young Houston Rockets team in Round 1 (4-3) before losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the next round (4-1).
Now, with the 2025-2026 season just around the corner, Curry is showing no signs of stopping, a determination he credited to his superpower.
"I'm about to go into my 17th year [in the NBA]," he said. "And the idea is that from the beginning, work ethic was my superpower — it was my skill."
