Steph Curry is now the first player in NBA history to sign multiple $200 million contracts.
Curry, 33, will now possibly be tied to Golden State through the end of his career. The star guard was drafted by the Warriors with the 7th pick in the 2009 NBA Draft. He’s won three NBA Championships with the team, in 2015, 2017, and 2018, while also winning two Most Valuable Player awards, in 2015 and 2016.
Before the 2020-21 season, Curry told Anthony Slater of The Athletic that retiring with the Warriors is a “huge goal” of his.
“It’s just understanding what the landscape is and what the situation is going into the future,” Curry continued. “We want to be competitive, we want to be in a situation where we’re competing for championships every single year. I want to be a part of it.”
Curry is coming off of a career-best year in scoring with 32 points per game, in addition to 5.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists.
Steph Curry will extend his contract off his $45.8 million salary for 2021-22, which means he’s now guaranteed $261 million over the next five seasons. pic.twitter.com/hYiBpI6Eo4
