Already regarded as the greatest shooter in NBA history, Stephen Curry will go down as one of the greatest players of all time. However, as time passes, he does not get any younger, and he has begun to consider his options for a post-sports career.

While many NBA players have chosen to work for media outlets, Stephen Curry's father rose to prominence as one of the industry's most lucrative and well-known analysts. Some choose to follow in the footsteps of successful businessmen like Magic Johnson or Michael Jordan.

Some, like Shaquille O'Neal, do both. However, Steph Curry looks likely to be getting into politics if his latest interview is taken into consideration.

What did Steph Curry say?

Steph Curry kept it very minute when he was asked about running for President in the future. Curry said he would "maybe" think about running for president in the future.

Jericka Duncan of CBS News pressed, "You have an interest in politics?"

Curry stated: "I have an interest in leveraging every part of my influence for good in the way that I can." Curry made it clear that while he hasn't ruled out a future in politics, his sights were not specifically set on the presidency.

He said, "I'm not saying the presidency," but he wasn't ruling it out either if politics was a means to bring about significant change or if there was another course of action that wasn't involving politics.

Curry joined the interview to talk about his recently published children's book, "I Am Extraordinary," which he hopes will inspire children to discover their inner confidence. The discussion of politics was part of a larger one about his attempts to make a positive impact on society.

Curry has occasionally expressed his opinions publicly on political matters. He serves on the board of the nonpartisan "When We All Vote" campaign, started by former first lady Michelle Obama, which aims to increase voter registration.
