While many current and former NBA players have launched podcasts, Stephen Curry has made it clear he will not be joining this trend. The Golden State Warriors star recently shared his reasoning behind this decision, emphasizing his lack of passion for the medium despite acknowledging the value podcasts bring to fans.

Curry’s Perspective on Podcasting and Media

In a candid conversation with Jon Youshaei, Curry expressed appreciation for the storytelling aspect podcasts offer, saying,

“I love the idea of people giving fans a new perspective, some good storytelling,”

but he also noted the challenges, adding,

“… You won’t see me doing it, though. Don’t worry about that. I have a lot of other things I wanna do other than be behind the mic every day. Cause if you’re going to do something, you’ve got to be all in. It is a time commitment, it’s a big lift. It’s not something I’m passionate about.”

Balancing Basketball and Personal Commitments

Aside from his demanding basketball career, Curry devotes significant time to other endeavors. He and his wife, Ayesha, run the Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation, which

supports children’s well being through access to nutritious meals, quality reading resources and opportunities to play and be active­ because everyone deserves the chance to live a happy, healthy childhood.

The foundation reflects a strong commitment to improving children‘s lives beyond sports.

Additionally, Curry pursues golf passionately, regularly competing in professional-amateur tournaments and playing a key role in launching a golf team at Howard University. He is set to participate in a pro-am event ahead of the PGA Memorial Tournament, underscoring his multifaceted interests outside basketball.

Why Curry Avoids Podcasting for Now

At 37 years old, Curry continues to perform at an elite level in the NBA, which demands a significant dedication of time and energy. Given his wide range of responsibilities and interests, it is understandable why he opts out of starting a podcast, especially since it requires a full commitment and is not something he feels passionate about.

While there remains a possibility Curry might reconsider in retirement, his comments suggest he currently prefers focusing on initiatives and activities that fully engage him.

Implications for Warriors Fans and the NBA Podcast Landscape

Since Curry will not be entering the podcast scene, Warriors supporters looking for player insights will need to turn to existing shows like The Draymond Green Show with Baron Davis. This ensures fans still receive firsthand perspectives from Warriors players, including future Hall of Famers, through established podcast platforms.

Stephen Curry’s decision reflects a thoughtful prioritization of his passions and commitments, demonstrating that not every star athlete chooses to follow popular media trends despite their success on the court.
