Steph Curry, LeBron James, Kevin Durant Only Players to Earn $500M+ in NBA Contracts
The Golden State Warriors guard signed a one-year, $62.6 million contract extension on Thursday that will keep him with the franchise through the 2026-27 season, aget Jeff Austin of Octagon told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
With this deal, ESPN’s Bobby Marks reported that Curry became the third player to surpass $500 million in career earnings, joining LeBron James and Kevin Durant.
Curry is set to make $55.7 million during the 2024-25 season and will increase to $59.6 million in 2025-26 before the extension kicks in, per Spotrac. He will surpass Durant’s $504 million and fall behind James’ $584 million by the time their respective contracts expire.
Curry has certainly done enough to earn this distinction. He has helped lead the Warriors to four NBA Championships and earned 10 All-Star nods, two regular-season MVPs and an NBA Finals MVP in 2021-22.
He has averaged 26.4 points, 5.1 assists and 4.5 rebounds in his career and has also suited up in 147 playoff games for the Warriors.
Golden State will need to heavily rely on Curry in upcoming seasons after losing Klay Thompson in free agency and having zero cap space.
The Warriors went 46-36 and fell in the play-in tournament in 2023-24. As the Western Conference improves, Golden State will have a difficult battle to stay in the playoff race.
