Four-time NBA champion Steph Curry is already planning his life after basketball.
The 10-time NBA All-Star spoke to CNBC's “Squawk on the Street” on Tuesday about the rest of his basketball career, his various business ventures and goals for after his playing career ends.
Curry, 36, owns a media company, Unanimous Media, and a junior golf circuit, Underrated, among other ventures. He told CNBC he's also interested in owning an NBA team one day.
“For me, that's something that's definitely on the table,” Curry said. “I think he could do a good job of helping maintain the greatness of the NBA right now and what it takes to run a championship organization.”
The star sharpshooter just signed a one-year, $62.6 million contract extension that will keep him playing for the Golden State Warriors through 2027. That contract is set to expire when Curry is 39, and the point guard who led the U.S. men's basketball team to an Olympic gold medal in Paris last month said he still has plenty of NBA basketball left in him.
“I know I have a lot more to accomplish on the court before I move on to other roles in the league,” he said.

Curry said seeing former NBA superstar Michael Jordan as a former owner of the Charlotte Hornets, and the possibility that the league could expand in a couple of years, sparked his interest in becoming an owner.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said in July that the league would look into expanding once its media deal was complete. The league signed a new 11-year deal worth an estimated $77 billion in July. The agreement kicks in after next season.
Curry's longtime rival and Olympic teammate LeBron James has also expressed interest in owning the team, specifically if Las Vegas is granted a franchise.
Curry said he has seen firsthand how to run a world-class organization and said Golden State Warriors owners Joe Lacob and Peter Guber have set a standard for how to treat players.
“The investment it takes to create that first-class experience that makes us feel cared for allows us to play at a high level,” he said.
