Lacob Says Curry Could Be NBA’s Tom Brady, Sets Forth Post‑Curry Plan

Lacob promises roster renewal after Curry, emphasizing an ongoing push for championships.

Overview

  • Warriors owner Joe Lacob told the San Francisco Chronicle that Stephen Curry "might be the Tom Brady of the NBA" and could play longer than many expect.
  • Lacob called replacing Curry a "tremendous challenge" and said the organization wants to match its first 15 years of success over the next 15.
  • He vowed to sustain the franchise by "develop[ing] or bring[ing] in" talent once Curry retires, adding, "We will figure it out."
  • Team posture remains to pursue more titles during Curry’s tenure, with the 37-year-old still producing at an elite level after a 46-point game against the Spurs this week.
  • Curry has said he has "no clue" when he will retire, and analysts note Brady’s 23 NFL seasons provide a high bar for the comparison.
