Stephen Curry may be the NBA’s two-time reigning MVP, but he’s certainly not compensated like the top-notch pro athlete that he is.
The 6’3” sharpshooter is once again proving his worth as a key player for the Golden State Warriors in this season’s NBA Finals. In fact, last night, the Warriors just set a record for the “longest playoff win streak in the history of the four major pro sports.”
In the last year of his $44 million four-year contract with the team, Curry’s salary is set to be $12.1 million—a number that most of us would be salivating over—but when you consider that people like his former teammate Harrison Barnes are raking in about double ($22.1 million), the star seems to have been shortchanged.
Curry’s salary actually comes in at 82nd in the NBA, not a ranking you’d expect from a man who’s been crowned #1 two years in a row.
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”~Philippians 4:13
But while others seem to be playing the comparison game, the only person who’s not paying attention to all the salary hype seems to be the man himself.
