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
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
So Curry has 2 full time jobs now?
i respect it. daryl morey runs around doing his crypto schemes/speeches and he can’t do his real job worth a damn
The cool thing is the Warriors have agreed that he only has to play in 62 games so they’ll give him 20 games off at his choice to go work at Davidson. He said he may take a week off at a time when they have two games in a week
