Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry admits pursuing LeBron James before the 41-year-old forward chose the Philadelphia 76ers<\/p>\n

Stephen Curry has shut down any speculation about his future, clarifying his loyalty to the only NBA franchise he has ever known.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview with CNBC<\/a>, the four-time champion with the Golden State Warriors<\/a> once more dismissed any ideas of testing free agency after his contract expires next summer. \u201cI\u2019ve always stated that I want to be a lifer with Golden State<\/a>,\u201d Curry said.<\/p>\n

With approximately $62M left on his contract for his 18th year in the league, the goal is simple. Keep winning with the core dynasty group. \u201cWhat we\u2019ve built there, the fact that I get to run it back with Draymond and Coach Kerr,\u201d he added. \u201cMy interest and mission is to stay and be competitive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Curry also confirmed his offseason efforts to recruit free agent LeBron James, who instead signed with the Philadelphia 76ers.<\/a> \u201cIf anybody didn\u2019t, I think they\u2019d be a fool,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

The 38-year-old point guard is still playing at an elite level. Drafted seventh overall in 2009 out of Davidson, the two-time Most Valuable Player and Olympic gold medalist in 2024 has changed how the game is played worldwide. He recently became the first player to pass 4,000 career three-pointers and comes off a season where he averaged 26.6 points per game.<\/p>\n

Now, attention turns to the court. After six preseason games in early October, Curry and the Warriors open the 2026\u201327 Regular Season on October 21 with a road game against the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a>.<\/p>\n
