Stephen Curry was Strategically Placed on the Michael Jordan Path 2 Years Before $1,000,000,000 Deal with $3.4 Billion Worth Co and It’s Evidently Coming True

In a groundbreaking move that could forever change the landscape of sports endorsements, NBA superstar Stephen Curry is on the verge of signing a monumental lifetime contract with a company worth $3.4 billion. The deal is potentially worth more than a staggering $1 billion. This jaw-dropping deal is set to be the largest in basketball history. It will cement Curry’s status not only as a legendary athlete but also as a business powerhouse.

But Curry is not the only player to earn such extraordinary amounts from endorsements. The Legendary Michael Jordan reportedly earns around $1.8 billion in profits from his brand endorsements. But do you know how the $3.4 billion company partnered with Curry?

Stephen Curry’s sneaker endorsement deal

Curry got his own sneaker line like Jordan and was signed to Under Armour. His journey with the brand began in 2013 when he made a bold decision to part ways with Nike and embrace a new partnership with the up-and-coming sports apparel brand. At the time, his contract was valued at around $4 million per year.

Fast forward to the present, and the dynamic point guard from his current deal with Under Armour earns about $20 million annually. His deal is up for renewal and the offer made to him is historic.

While the financials of this deal are astounding, Curry has reportedly become the President of Under Armour‘s Curry Brand. The NBA star has collaborated with the brand to create 10 signature shoes, a record for any Under Armour athlete.

With the new deal, Under Armour is banking on Curry’s continued involvement in all aspects of the Curry Brand. It is very similar to Nike’s lifetime partnerships with Michael Jordan and LeBron James.

While Curry’s basketball career was reaching new heights, Under Armour faced challenges in gaining market share against fierce competitors like Nike and Adidas. Despite their challenges, they reported a solid performance with $1.58 billion in revenue. The brand however is dealing with inventory challenges, which has resulted in a drop in stock value.

Similarities between the Jordan brand and the Curry brand

Michael Jordan was the first ever basketball star to have his own signature shoe. At the time, none of the brands had so much faith in their players and regarded their brand as having a higher value. But Jordan revolutionized the endorsement deals in the NBA forever and opened a gateway for players alike. Only from his Jordan brand, he earns about a billion dollars. Looking at his success naturally, players were going to follow in his footsteps and one of them was Curry.

Like Jordan, Curry also has his own brand. Even he is being offered a lifetime deal and has his signature shoes, apparel, etc. Curry believes that he can have an impact like Jordan, not like he has on the shoes but on the sport. So that’s why he made a smart move by not only having basketball apparel but also golf apparel.
