Free agency is off and running in the NBA, and the Warriors started off the new fiscal year by making Steph Curry the highest paid player, not just in the NBA, but in all four of the major sports. The contract is not bad for Curry, who has worked hard to be one of the top players in the NBA. Not bad for someone who was just supposed to be a valuable player, coming out of college. Curry is no longer one of the lowest paid players in the NBA. Some may argue that if the NBA did not have a salary cap, Curry would be paid what he is worth.
It has been a long journey for Steph Curry who was the 7th pick in the 2009 NBA draft, he was known for his shooting ability. The early parts of Curry’s NBA career were marred by injuries to his ankles. Due to those ankle injuries, the Warriors could resign Curry to a four year $44-million-dollar contract. Over for the past four seasons Curry has been making about 11 million dollars per year. Far below his value. Curry’s jersey has been one of the top jerseys sold by the NBA for the past three years.
Now Curry will have a big raise now making 40 million dollars over the next five seasons. However, Curry’s amount will be set by the NBA’s salary cap, so he can make $40 million or$41 million per season depending on if the salary cap increases or decreases.
Curry may have taken a pay cut so the Warriors can resign Klay Thompson next year and Draymond Green the following year. Even though Curry got a major contract , he is still thinking about his teammates and the larger team.
Becoming the highest paid player in NBA history is a great accomplishment for Curry, especially since many at one point doubted his abilities. According to ESPN, Curry is set to have a record-breaking $201 million contract with the Golden State Warriors. He was just supposed to be a skilled shooter like his father. However, Curry has become one of the most marketable players the NBA has, and for a player who is undersized to cast one of the biggest shadows over the NBA world is remarkable. Curry’s popularity and game has changed the way the game of basketball is played, and he is still in his prime so Curry has more work to do to cement his NBA status.
