Fans widely regarded Stephen Curry as the greatest 3pt shooter of all time. Having sunk 3,390 3pt shots from the time he first stepped foot on the court as a professional NBA player in 2009, he made 273 threes in the last season. If we leave, his injury season in 2019-20 where he scored only 5 shots beyond the arc, his 273 3pts made shots is his lowest in the last 5 years.
But the NBA world witnessed his best form in 2015-16 where he sunk 402 shots beyond the 3pt line and broke replaced Ray Allen from the 3pt leaders. However, he is so good at basketball that we forget he’s got some acting credits too. Recently, after sharing a “Dream Come True Achievement” on social media, he shared his 10/10 acting skills on his social media, which caught fans’ attention.

The 4x NBA champion sits at an estimated $160M net worth. In 2017, he created history by signing the first deal of its sort, worth $200 million. Then, in 2021, he agreed to a four-year contract deal with the Golden State Warriors worth $215.35 million. With this new contract, he became the first player in history to sign two consecutive more than $200 million contracts. Beyond his on-court earnings, his off-court wealth includes endorsements from the biggest brands in the world.
His brand endorsements include the names like Under Armor, Nissan/Infiniti, JP Morgan Chase, Rakuten, Sony, Unilever, and Vivo. Beyond ad commercials, he was also seen in the promotional video for the 2022 Horror, Sci/fi movie Nope.
As per Forbes, Curry has made about $900 million from his endorsement deals and commercial endeavors. He signed with the food chain restaurant Subway earlier in January this year.
Hours after accompanying the Warriors’ fresh addition, Chris Paul to the NBA Summer League Dubs game, he shared a glimpse from an ad commercial for Subway in his latest Instagram post.
He shared with the caption that read, “Unreal day on set with @subway and the great Rick Famuyiwa!! Couldn’t contain my excitement for our new campaign… also had trouble keeping a straight face after we stopped rolling 😂😂#SubwayPartner”
But above all, fans are loving his 10/10 skills.
Fans react to Chef Curry’s acting skills
The exact amount that Subway paid Curry for the commercial has not been disclosed, but the star power that 3pt all-time leader brings is enough to get the returns on investment. However, it is believed to be a substantial sum considering Curry’s widespread popularity and the potential success of the ad. Subway is counting on Curry’s star power to attract more customers to their restaurants and ultimately increase their profits.
So when he shared his latest behind-the-scenes clip and photos from the commercial, one fan said, “Look at Curry man so inspirational 😂“
Another fan compared his endorsement ventures with none other than Shaq, he said, “My guy getting like @shaq with the side missions 💯💯“
