Four-time NBA champion Steph Curry is already making plans for her life after basketball.
The 10-time NBA All-Star spoke with CNBC's “Squawk on the Street” on Tuesday about the rest of his basketball career, his various businesses and his post-playing goals.
Curry, 36, owns a media company, Unanimous Media, and a youth golf tour, Underrated, among other ventures. He told CNBC he’s also interested in owning an NBA team someday.
“For me, that's definitely an option,” Curry said. “I think I can do a pretty good job of helping to preserve how great the NBA is right now and what it takes to run a championship organization.”
The star shooter recently signed a one-year, $62.6 million contract extension that will keep him with the Golden State Warriors through 2027. That contract expires when Curry is 39 — and the guard who led the U.S. men's basketball team to an Olympic gold medal in Paris last month said he has a lot of NBA basketball ahead of him.
“I know I have a lot more to achieve on the pitch before I can take on other roles in the league,” he said.

Curry said his interest in ownership was piqued by the fact that former NBA superstar Michael Jordan owned the Charlotte Hornets and that the league could potentially expand in a few years.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said in July that the league would look at expansion after the media deal is finalized. The league signed a new 11-year agreement in July worth about $77 billion. The deal will go into effect after next season.
Curry's old rival and Olympic teammate LeBron James has also expressed interest in team ownership, particularly if Las Vegas gets a franchise.
Curry said he has seen firsthand how to run a world-class organization, and he said Golden State Warriors owners Joe Lacob and Peter Guber set the standard for how players should be treated.
“The investment that goes into creating that first-class experience, where we feel like we're being taken care of, allows us to play basketball at a high level,” he said.
