NBA star Stephen Curry and his Unanimous Media production label have signed a sweeping, first-of-its-kind talent deal with Comcast<\/a> NBCUniversal<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The multi-year template agreement is billed as the media giant\u2019s first-ever \u201cglobal talent partnership.\u201d It counts a dizzying amount of first-look development opportunities across the company, including: Universal Studio Group for scripted and unscripted TV projects; DreamWorks Animation for kids and family content; creative and on-camera contributions at NBC Sports; opportunities at NBC News Studios, MSNBC and CNBC; Universal Parks and Resorts; and Comcast\u2019s Xfinity brand.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Insiders valued the deal in the high eight-figure range with a potential upside from producing fees on greenlit content. The agreement was brokered by Jimmy Horowitz, vice chairman of NBCUniversal business affairs and operations. WME represented Curry and Unanimous.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s an impressive, if not urgent, move from Comcast NBCU, led by Brian Roberts and Jeff Shell, to secure talent with mass appeal in a landscape littered with blank checks from the streamers. NBCU has always touted its vertical integration program \u201cSymphony,\u201d but the Curry deal looks and feels like an aggressive play to realize the full power of its portfolio.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhile Stephen is a world class athlete, his brand and mission transcends the basketball court. The reach of Comcast NBCUniversal\u2019s diverse portfolio will allow us to collaborate and support Stephen and Unanimous\u2019 goals and ambitions while making compelling and impactful content for a global audience,\u201d said Horowitz. \u201cWe aspire to work with creators who want their impact to reach broadly across our content ecosystem, which makes our partnership with Stephen, Erick [Peyton] and the team at Unanimous Media an ideal fit.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Curry said Unanimous\u2019 goal \u201chas always been to create content that is not only entertaining, but also uplifting and inspirational. It\u2019s incredible to imagine all the different ways we can make this vision come to life by incorporating all the amazing assets across Comcast NBCUniversal\u2019s portfolio that has a footprint in all areas of media and entertainment.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

First up for Curry on the sports side is joining NBC Sports\u2019 Golf Channel for coverage of the ultimate team golf event, the Ryder Cup. He will create original content for the channel\u2019s acclaimed \u201cLive From the Ryder Cup\u201d coverage and GolfPass, which will be featured internationally on Sky Sports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we met with the team at Comcast NBCUniversal it was clear that they had done their homework,\u201d said Erick Peyton, Unanimous co-founder. \u201cThey presented to us a vision for a genuine partnership that was creative, multi-dimensional and stayed true to our mission. We can\u2019t wait to roll up our sleeves and get started on projects and content that shifts culture in a meaningful way.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Curry will also help launch a reimagination of \u201cThe More You Know,\u201d NBCU\u2019s award-winning PSA campaign. The initiative has been running for over 30 years and will see Curry will sit down with multiplatinum artist, activist and EGOT winner John Legend to discuss topics related to diversity, equity and inclusion that will appear across many of NBCUniversal\u2019s platforms, including Peacock.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The deal agreement also brings innovative opportunities for brands seeking to work with Curry. Together with NBCU\u2019s creative partnerships team, Curry and Unanimous will explore scaled relationships with marketers that inspire meaningful connection with Curry\u2019s fans and the media and technology powerhouse\u2019s global audience.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Recent deals that reflect this new blanket approach to talent includes pacts with Meghan Trainor and Miley Cyrus; the Universal Studio Group deal with Seth MacFarlane; and the film and television deals across Universal Pictures and Universal Studio Group with Jordan Peele and Justin Lin.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Unanimous Media leadership team includes executive vice president of TV Jenelle Lindsay, film and feature documentaries head Brian Tetsuro, and podcast and publishing head Kalyna Kutny.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\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) 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

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
