Steph Curry Signs $201M Deal, The Richest Contract In NBA History

NBA star, Stephen Curry of Golden State
Warriors, has agreed to a five-year
extension deal, worth around $201 million,
the richest contract in the league history.



His agent Jeff Austin of Octagon, told ESPN:

'Curry is the first NBA star who will
sign a supermax contract, the
crossing of a $200 million threshold
that eventually will become the norm
for the NBA's biggest superstars.'




Golden State general manager, Bob Myers
also confirmed the deal on Friday, saying
that the Warriors will finalize the contract
once the free-agency moratorium ends
Thursday.



'An eight-year veteran, Curry has been
the foundational star for the
Warriors, who recently won their
second NBA championship in three
years.'



Curry, who's a two-time NBA MVP, four-time
All-Star, and a three-time All-NBA first-team
performer was drafted to the Golden State
Warriors team in 2009, a rookie contract
which cost around $12.7m.



The basketballer has also been
congratulated by his strongest rival, LeBron
James of Cleveland Cavaliers, whom he has
faced in the past three Finals.
