Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry looks like he is closer to adding more to his already growing business ventures in the form of the NFL's Carolina Panthers.

While walking down the streets of Beverly Hills with his wife, Ayesha, Curry told TMZ sports that he was inching closer to becoming a minority owner of the Panthers, his favorite football team.

“This is a real thing,” Curry said. “So hopefully it happens sooner than later.”

Curry made waves about buying the Panthers initially after rapper Diddy announced on Twitter that he had interest in buying the football team.

The Warriors superstar responded to this tweet in a way that left no doubt about this interest in this matter.

While Stephen Curry has already proven time and time again that he is a savant on the basketball floor, he is also becoming quite the businessman. He owns equity in Under Armour, the company with which he has signature shoes. He also has several sponsorships.

Curry isn't the only one in the family that has made a name for himself on the business side of things. His wife had her own cooking show for a time, and recently released her own cookbook.

Buying the Panthers would be quite the financial undertaking. The franchise is valued at about $1 billion, according to Forbes. Diddy has a net worth of about $820 million.

It's a bit unclear what Curry's net worth is, but it's safe to say it's as high as Diddy's. However, Curry did recently sign a large extension to stay with the Warriors, and there's money to be made with all the endorsements he has.

It stands to reason that people will be calling Stephen Curry a sports team owner pretty soon.
