Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is rewriting NBA history books again – this time with his wallet! The four-time champion just agreed to a one-year, $62.6 million contract extension, ESPN reports, keeping him in the Bay Area through 2026.
Fun fact: This deal makes Chef Curry the fourth NBA player ever to pass $500 million in career earnings, joining LeBron James, Paul George, and Kevin Durant in the ultimate baller tax bracket.
\"I've always said I want to be a Warrior for life,\" the 36-year-old told Andscape this summer. \"At this stage in my career, I feel like that's possible.\"
Since being drafted in 2009 (yes, we feel old too ), Curry has:
Played 956 regular season games for GS
Averaged 24.8 points & 6.4 assists
Led the Warriors to 9 of their 10 playoff runs this century
With this extension, the baby-faced assassin gets another shot at adding to his legacy – and maybe a fifth championship ring?
