In what many are calling the most monumental moment in franchise history, Golden State Warriors owner Joseph Steven Lacob has officially announced that Stephen Curry—the team’s iconic point guard and four-time NBA champion—will become a Co-Owner of the Golden State Warriors.
This unprecedented decision comes as a tribute to Curry’s two-decade-long impact on the franchise, the NBA, and the global basketball community. The announcement was made at a special press event held at Chase Center, with players, coaches, alumni, and fans in attendance.
“Steph didn’t just change the way we play basketball—he changed the way we operate as an organization,” Lacob said. “He’s earned his place in the ownership circle—not just for what he did on the court, but for the culture he helped build. This is his team, now and forever.”
A Legacy Cemented in Ownership
The move makes Curry one of the few active or recently retired players in league history to gain ownership stake in an NBA franchise—putting him in elite company alongside names like Michael Jordan and LeBron James (minor league holdings).
According to sources, Curry’s stake will involve strategic input on basketball operations, player development initiatives, branding, and long-term vision planning.
Curry, visibly emotional, accepted the honor with humility.
“This means the world to me,” he said. “I’ve poured everything into this team since day one—and now, to be trusted as part of its future at this level… I’m beyond grateful. I love the Bay, I love this franchise, and I’m all-in for life.”
Fans and NBA Community Celebrate
Social media exploded instantly with hashtags like #OwnerCurry, #ForeverWarrior, and #ChefBoss, as fans celebrated the move not only as a business milestone, but as the ultimate show of loyalty and respect.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver released a statement shortly after the announcement:
“Stephen Curry is more than a superstar—he’s a generational leader. His involvement in the Warriors’ ownership group is a natural next chapter in a historic career.”
What This Means for the Warriors
The symbolic and practical implications are massive. With Curry now deeply embedded in the franchise’s long-term DNA, the Warriors are signaling a future rooted in stability, legacy, and homegrown leadership.
Coach Steve Kerr summed it up best:
“Steph has always been the face of the franchise. Now, he’s part of its foundation forever.”
Stephen Curry is no longer just the face of the Warriors — he’s part of the ownership that will shape their next dynasty. A generational player. A generational leader. A Warrior for life.
