Warriors’ Stephen Curry Trumps LeBron James and Kevin Durant To Bag Record Amount

Stephen Curry, when everyone thought his peak was long gone, proved everyone wrong by having a crazy 2020-21 season. He went out and played against all the odds possible. The man lifted a shorthanded team to the play-in tournament while also dealing with a fracture in his tailbone.
All those bodily sacrifices could still not fix a playoff seat for him. However, that did not mean the gods of basketball turned a blind eye towards his efforts. So all his blood and sweat returned to him with some inflated numbers in his already generous bank account.

Just imagine a 37-YO Steph Curry taking home $59 million in earnings. Can the Warriors generate enough cap space to surround the aging star with the right pieces? Well, some NBA executives have reportedly raised doubts saying that the deal can prove to be a double-edged sword.
However, NBA analyst Zach Lowe made a counterpoint to validate Steph’s pay package. The 43-YO American sportswriter expressed, “Hogwash. Who even cares?
