THIS IS THE BEST NEWS WE COULD HOPE FOR: MLB Community Overjoyed as Warriors Coach Steve Kerr Announces Stephen Curry’s Stunning Move to Baseball
In one of the most unexpected and electrifying announcements in modern sports history, Golden State Warriors Head Coach Steve Kerr revealed today that NBA legend Stephen Curry will be joining Major League Baseball (MLB) in a groundbreaking crossover that has stunned the sports world and thrilled fans coast to coast.
“After deep conversations, planning, and watching him train for over a year behind the scenes, I’m incredibly proud to announce that Stephen Curry will officially join the San Francisco Giants organization,” Kerr said during a joint press conference held this morning at Oracle Park. “He’s not just trying baseball — he’s in it to compete.”
From Downtown to the Diamond
Known globally as one of the greatest shooters in NBA history, Curry has apparently been preparing for this moment in secret for months. While basketball fans have followed his iconic career — 4-time NBA champion, 2-time MVP, and face of the Warriors dynasty — few realized he was training in baseball, a sport Curry has loved since childhood.
Curry will be taking on a dual role with the Giants:
- As a designated hitter and part-time infielder, he’ll participate in select MLB games starting later this season.
- Simultaneously, he’ll serve as a team ambassador and advisor focused on promoting youth baseball and cross-sport athlete development.
Why Baseball?
In his own words, Curry said the decision was about passion, challenge, and making history.
“Basketball will always be my first love, but I’ve dreamed of this since I was a kid,” Curry said. “This is about pushing boundaries, showing kids that it’s okay to chase multiple dreams — and most importantly, it’s about having fun.”
“And don’t worry, Dub Nation,” he added with a grin. “I’m not done on the court either.”
Yes, you read that right — Curry is not retiring from the NBA. He intends to play both sports, at least part-time, in a feat not attempted since the days of Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders.
MLB Community Responds: “This Is Unreal”
The announcement has ignited a firestorm of excitement across the MLB world.
- MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred released a statement calling Curry’s decision “a once-in-a-generation moment that will bring new fans, energy, and global spotlight to baseball.”
- Giants players reportedly welcomed Curry with open arms during his first private training session last month, praising his athleticism and work ethic.
- ESPN analysts have already started debating where Curry might land in the batting order and how his hand-eye coordination — so crucial on the court — might translate to big-league success.
