Stephen Curry has landed the second $200 million-plus contract of his career, reaching agreement on a $215 million, four-year extension with the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday that takes him through the 2025-26 season.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Curry\u2019s agent, Jeff Austin of Octagon, confirmed the new deal for the star point guard, who would have been entering the final season of his previous contract. Curry will earn $48 million for the 2022-23 season, then $51.9 million in \u201923-\u201924, $55.7 million in \u201924-\u201925 and $59.6 million in the final year of the deal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

For this extension \u2014 first reported by ESPN \u2014 it was only a matter of when it would get done after the 33-year-old Curry produced one of his best seasons.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He averaged 32.0 points, 5.8 assists and 5.5 rebounds and shot 42.1% from 3-point range for the Warriors, who lost in the play-in tournament to Memphis. The two-time MVP shined despite injured Splash Brother Klay Thompson\u2019s absence for a second straight season.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After the season ended, Curry thanked his teammates for all they did to allow him to be at his best night after night, even when he had to spend long hours in the trainer\u2019s room to keep his body healthy and fresh. He was limited to five games during the pandemic-shortened 2019-20 season primarily because of a broken left hand, then played 63 games last season while missing time because of a bruised tailbone that bothered him down the stretch.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI appreciate everybody out there committing to how we play, and that\u2019s really unlocked what I do best,\u201d Curry said. \u201cThat was huge, but God is good. I\u2019ve been blessed to be back healthy and be able to just play night in, night out at a high level and the work that goes into it, it pays off, and it\u2019s something that I really, really rely on, especially at this point in my career. As the years go on, that is the difference maker for me.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

In December, Curry noted he wanted to play until he\u2019s 40 if possible and do so the whole way for the Warriors. Discussions had already begun then on an extension, he said, and now he has a new deal in hand well before he begins his 13th season.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In July 2017, Curry received a $201 million, five-year deal that initially was the richest ever, until James Harden topped it with a $228 million extension from the Rockets.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Considered overlooked and undersized after being drafted seventh overall out of Davidson in 2009, Curry has repeatedly proven the doubters wrong. He led the Warriors to five straight NBA Finals and championships in 2015, \u201917 and \u201918.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really proud of what I put in to it, and the team, they know who they are, that help me and push me and motivate me,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m going to keep doing that until I can\u2019t anymore. I don\u2019t know how long that\u2019ll be but that\u2019s the difference-maker for me.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wardell Stephen “Steph” Curry II (\/\u02c8<\/span>s<\/span>t<\/span>\u025b<\/span>f<\/span>\u0259n<\/span>\/<\/a><\/span><\/span> STEF-\u0259n<\/i><\/a>; born March 14, 1988[1]<\/a><\/sup>) is an American professional basketball<\/a> player for the Golden State Warriors<\/a> of the National Basketball Association<\/a> (NBA). He plays the point guard<\/a> position. Many analysts and players have called him the greatest shooter<\/a> in NBA history.[2]<\/a><\/sup> He is credited with revolutionizing the game of basketball by inspiring teams to regularly utilize the three-point shot<\/a>.[3]<\/a><\/sup>[4]<\/a><\/sup>[5]<\/a><\/sup> A seven-time NBA All-Star<\/a>, Curry has been named the NBA Most Valuable Player<\/a> (MVP) twice and has won three NBA championships<\/a> with the Warriors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

The son of former NBA player Dell<\/a> and older brother of current NBA player Seth<\/a>, Curry played college basketball<\/a> for the Davidson Wildcats<\/a>. He set the all-time scoring record for both Davidson and the Southern Conference<\/a> and was twice named the conference’s player of the year<\/a>. During his sophomore year, Curry also set the single-season NCAA<\/a> record for three-pointers made, and was then selected by the Warriors with the seventh overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2014\u201315<\/a>, Curry won his first MVP award and led the Warriors to their first championship<\/a> since 1975. The following season, he became the first player in NBA history to be elected MVP by a unanimous vote and to lead the league in scoring<\/a> while shooting above 50\u201340\u201390<\/a>. That same year, the Warriors broke the record for the most wins in an NBA season<\/a> en route to reaching the 2016 NBA Finals<\/a>, which they lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a> in seven games. Curry helped the Warriors return to the NBA Finals in 2017<\/a>, 2018<\/a> and 2019<\/a>, winning back-to-back titles in 2017 and 2018, before being defeated by the Toronto Raptors<\/a> in 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the 2012\u201313 season<\/a>, Curry set the NBA record for three-pointers made in a regular season, with 272. He surpassed that record in 2015<\/a> with 286, and again in 2016<\/a> with 402. He is currently second in all-time made three-pointers<\/a> in NBA history. Curry and teammate Klay Thompson<\/a> have earned the nickname of the Splash Brothers<\/a>; in 2013\u201314<\/a>, they set the record for combined three-pointers in an NBA season with 484, a record they broke the following season (525), and again in the 2015\u201316 season (678).<\/strong><\/p>\n
