During his acceptance speech, Stephen Curry, NBA Finals MVP and Golden State Warriors All-Star, hinted that at some point during his career he would be open to playing for the Charlotte Hornets, although he fully intends to retire a Warrior. Curry made these comments while appearing in Charlotte to accept the key to the city. “Everybody asks me, ‘You wanna play one year for the Hornets and come back?’… I am not breaking any news right now, I’m not making any promises. All I would say is if there was a team that I did want to play for that was not named the Warriors, that would be it,” Curry said.
