Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry will be entering his 10th season in the league and so far it's been an unforgettable ride.
From surviving potential career-derailing ankle injuries to winning three championships and two MVP awards — his trajectory as a member of the Golden State Warriors couldn't have been any better, which is why he doesn't see himself ever putting a different uniform on.
“I love the Bay Area, man,” Curry told Ben Rohrback of Yahoo Sports. “The only reason I go home now is if my sister’s getting married or to go play the Hornets for that one game, so I haven’t really been back much. I haven’t put my mind there.”
Asked if he planned to remain with the team for life, Curry was succinct.
“For sure I do,” Curry said from Oakland. “This is home. This is where I want to be, for obvious reasons.”
It was only four years ago when rumors of Curry potentially playing for his hometown Charlotte Hornets gained steam after the soon-to-be MVP wondered what it'd be like to follow his father's footsteps.
“I’ve always had thoughts about playing at home, what it would be like. My dad played there for 10 years, and people around the Greater Charlotte area in North Carolina have done a lot for my family growing up, so you always think about it,” Curry told The Doug Gotlieb Show back in 2014. “Right now I feel like I’ve got three years left on my deal, so this isn’t going to be an issue for me for a while. I love the Bay Area and where we are as a team trying to win a championship, and that’s what it’s all about. Of course everybody dreams about or thinks about what it’s going to be like to play at home. Obviously if that opportunity comes along it’s a different discussion.”
If that was a possibility back then, that is getting slimmer by the minute, as Curry has a legacy in the making in the Bay Area — a home, a family, three kids, a business, and many entrepreneurial ventures in the tech world to keep him tied to a Warriors jersey for a very long time.
