Warriors guard Stephen Curry has accepted an offer to become an assistant general manager for Davidson College’s basketball programs, according to Shams Charania of ESPN.
Charania notes that Curry is the first active player in U.S. professional sports to take an administrative job with a college team. He’s expected to provide guidance and advice to athletes at the school based on the experiences of his career, Charania adds.
Curry played for the Wildcats from 2006-09, displaying the unique shooting skills that have made him a star in the NBA. He averaged 25.3 points per game and made 414 three-pointers in his three seasons at Davidson, paving the way for him become the seventh player selected in the 2009 draft.
Charania states that Curry will work closely with Davidson general manger Austin Buntz, who was formerly part of Under Armour’s global sports marketing team. Curry signed with Under Armour in 2013 and has a lifetime shoe contract with the company.
According to Charania, Curry and his wife Ayesha will join with Davidson supporters Don, Matt and Erica Berman to start an eight-figure fund to aid the men’s and women’s athletic programs at the college. Matt Berman, a former Wildcats soccer player, will also serve as an assistant GM.
Charania notes that Curry completed his undergraduate degree at Davidson in 2022 and is considered a member of the Class of 2010.
Is there anything this guy can’t do
Typically when people have this kind of success in one area, it is covering up something dark or more sinister in another area of their life. Something tragic or even heinous they don’t want the public to see. Something like, “Mr throwback”
That probably says more about you than anything else. Umm…That is excluding the success.
if you knew about curry he is a real good moral person. I have never heard anything bad about him. Even seen him in a store shopping without a body guard or fanfare. His wife was annoyed when a lady ask for a photo with him. He looked like every dad just shopping with his kids.
Yeah I’m glad you simp his public persona. Unless you actually know the guy personally don’t talk to me about moral. People thought Diddy was sparkling clean too…
Terrible take bro!
i don’t think anyone thought diddy was clean. Those rumors go back decades.
You think those hands have been soaking in ivory liquid? Everyone has skeletons. Everyone has a past. It’s great he is good at basketball, so is miles bridges. I’m just saying you never really know, no matter how good someone’s publicist is…
you tried to compare Curry with Diddy and that is a far reach. If curry was that bad rumors would be coming out. The most you hear about him is drinking some alcohol. i do know his wife is not a saint when it comes to being as generous as Curry is but that is the most you hear about them.
That’s all I’m trying to say. The most “you hear about them”. Unless you know them personally you don’t actually know them. And even then. Just think we are way to liberal with giving out sainthood for celebrities.
It is Conservatives that like to hand out sainthood status at the drop of a hat. Look at all the praise for Elon Musk. Look at his drug use. Does anyone know how many children he has.
Huh? Never really thought to much about Diddy’s personal life. Never met anyone that did.
Are you implying that all black men are the same?
Curry, unlike Elon Musk, knows his children and their mother. In Elon’s case, that is mothers.
That’s really cool, especially the establishment of a new fund.
What an icon of the sport. All the other superstars are clowns who flop constantly trying to get free throws. Not our guy.
Isaiah Stewart and the upstart Pistons sure learned this the hard way on Saturday night. You aren’t Bill Laimbeer my guy, you can’t put hands on Curry like that, he was just talking trash at the bench, to put hands on him and shove him like he did INSTANTLY ended that game, all Warriors fans knew it. We have seen it dozens of times in the past – you cannot show anger towards Curry, it only makes him play better and destroy you. Every time.
i like it. NIL is getting out of hand but im always in support of players getting the bag
Not surprising. Curry got recruited by Kentucky after his 1st year at Davidson. But, since they passed on him once, he told them to f***off. Guess it worked out for him.
Curry is a giving guy. He doesn’t need an entourage of wannabes, like Davey J, who need to glom on to someone else’s stardom to feel good about themselves.
Did it work out? Don’t see any college championships for steph. LeBron didn’t even go to college so not sure what the argument is for impact on nba career. Just sayin. *shrugs*
There is only one champion per year. There are 350+ D1 teams. And about 3500 players per year that will never play professionally. This less about rings, and more about being successful.
So Curry has 2 full time jobs now?
