Stephen Curry, superstar for the National Basketball Association's (NBA) Golden State Warriors, is constantly being asked about playing back home with the Charlotte Hornets.
Even though he won't see free agency until July 1, 2017 - a good 944 days away - he is still asked about his plans for that period of his life.

While it may be an irritating question to be asked over and over again, it was asked in fun this past week with Curry in his native Charlotte.
Since Lebron James has back to play in his home town of Cleveland, other NBA superstars like Kevin Durant and Steph Curry have been asked about whether any homecomings of their own will be done.
On Friday, Curry admitted that he has been thinking about the homecoming situation since his parents live right down the road and his father, Dell, played 10 seasons with the Hornets.
"That's hard to get out of your head," Curry said. "But obviously, it has no bearing on decisions that I make down the road. It's just a fun thought to have. The Hornets name does mean a lot to my family, and obviously I'm starting a new thing with the Warriors. I definitely feel right at home here (in Golden State)."
Curry's contract with the Warriors runs until the summer of 2017. Currently though, he does not seem to be out of sorts with his team, as they enjoy a 13-2 record in the NBA's 2014-2015 season.
The move may be on the back of his mind, but it is still too far for the Hornets to expect anything at the meantime.
His fondness for his home town did not affect Curry's performance either, as he was able to score 26 points and six assists with the Warrior's win last Friday.
Curry is averaging 24.3 points and 7.6 assists a game, on .494/.420/.931 shooting on the season.
