Over the last few years, podcasts by current and former NBA players have started to gain a massive following. Shaquille O?Neal, Draymond Green, and others have all become very popular and this is driving more and more players to the scene. And Finals MVP Stephen Curry recently revealed if he will follow in the footsteps of Shaq and Green.
Podcasts hosted by players have started to achieve a massive fan following ever since the pandemic. Shaquille O?Neal does his show called ‘The Big Podcast with Shaq’ with Nischelle Turner and Spice Adams. And he has been doing it for quite some time now.

With several players now coming onto the podcast, fans want to see their favorites join in the action as well. And with Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry investing in the entertainment business, many expected him to take the leap and follow his teammate.
However, Curry put a brake on any podcast ideas for the foreseeable future. During an interview recently, Curry was asked if he has thought about starting his own podcast. Curry said,” Doesn’t fit into my daily time schedule. Just stay consistent with that. So just make sure you know what you’re signing up for… If I’m going to do something, I kinda be all in on it.”?

“At this point, a daily, weekly, whatever podcast is kinda in my wheelhouse right now,”?he added.
Curry is undoubtedly a very busy man these days, as he is getting involved in various business ventures of his own off the court. Along with that, he has his own shows alongside his YouTube channel. So adding a podcast would likely become very hectic for the Baby-Faced Assassin.
