Stephen Curry has added a new title to his already impressive résumé: Assistant General Manager for Davidson College Basketball. While the announcement has been met with excitement, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has offered a lighthearted perspective on Curry’s latest venture.
During a recent interview, Kerr described Curry’s new role as “ceremonial” and joked about the potential challenges it could bring.
“If he asks to leave for a game to go scout college, I’ll probably say no. But it is Steph Curry, so I’ll probably say yes. I just hope he doesn’t ask,” Kerr quipped.
Curry’s connection to Davidson College runs deep. It was at Davidson where he first captured the nation’s attention, leading the Wildcats to an unforgettable Elite Eight run in the 2008 NCAA Tournament. His electrifying performances not only put Davidson on the map but also set the stage for his legendary NBA career.
In his new role, Curry is expected to provide guidance and mentorship to both the men’s and women’s basketball programs at Davidson. While the position is largely symbolic, it underscores Curry’s commitment to giving back to his alma mater and supporting the next generation of athletes.
Kerr’s comments highlight the unique dynamic between coach and player. As one of the most accomplished coaches in NBA history, Kerr has always recognized Curry’s unparalleled talent and influence.
