Curry exploring ownership stake in hometown Panthers

OAKLAND, California - As a longtime fan of the Carolina Panthers, Stephen Curry is "absolutely" interested in having an ownership stake in the National Football League franchise.

Curry reminds everyone his day job is as a star of the Golden State Warriors, so he wouldn't be the kind of handson owner flying cross-country each week to attend major meetings.

But the two-time NBA MVP has people helping him explore options to buy into the Panthers, which Jerry Richardson announced he would sell while he is under investigation for sexual and racial misconduct in the workplace.
