(CBS SPORTS) — Stephen Curry is a lot of things. He is a future first-ballot Hall of Famer, the greatest shooter in NBA history, and an international icon loved by millions in and outside of the Bay Area. And maybe a future politician? While Curry is still performing at peak levels with the Golden State Warriors this season and still has quite a few years before he likely retires, he’s already looking ahead to life after basketball.
During an appearance on CBS Mornings, while promoting his second children’s book, I Am Extraordinary, aimed at inspiring kids to embrace their uniqueness, Curry was asked by CBS News national correspondent Jericka Duncan if he’d ever consider a career in politics, specifically running for president, after his playing days are over.

“Maybe, I have an interest in leveraging every part of my influence for good in the way that I can,” Curry said. “So, if that’s the way to do it, then – I’m not going to say the presidency but if politics is a way that you can create meaningful change or if there’s another way outside of politics.”
