Stephen Curry Leaving Warriors? Golden State’s Superstar Has Considered Playing In His Hometown Of Charlotte! Will Michael Jordan’s Team Be Ready To Bid For Him?

Stephen Curry is now the Golden State Warriors' signature player. The mayor has given him a key to the city of San Francisco and most have assumed he will be Warrior his entire career.

Not so fast. The point guard that's also considered the best shooter in the NBA is not closing its doors on any city, least of all his hometown of Charlotte.

Stephen Curry compared himself to LeBron James in this article and he may just follow his lead by taking his talents home. The thought has entered his mind. From Inside Bay Area:

"I've always had thoughts about playing at home, what it would be like. My dad played there for 10 years, and people around the Greater Charlotte area in North Carolina have done a lot for my family growing up, so you always think about it."

Hold that gasp of horror, San Francisco! Curry is in the middle of a 4 year/$44 million contract.

"Right now I feel like I've got three years left on my deal, so this isn't going to be an issue for me for a while. I love the Bay Area and where we are as a team trying to win a championship, and that's what it's all about. Of course everybody dreams about or thinks about what it's going to be like to play at home. Obviously if that opportunity comes along it's a different discussion."

He does spend his summer in Charlotte, though. He shares with Sports On Earth:

"It's just chill in Charlotte," he says. "Quiet. I like quiet and peace and a normal life in the suburbs. I might be too young for that, but that's what I like. And now that I have a kid, I suppose I wouldn't have much choice anyway. The great thing about this whole area is that it has everything," he says. "I can live in the city or in the suburbs or near a college, it's all in the same place. Tough to find an environment like that."

Michael Jordan is probably marking his calendar as early as now...
