Given how exciting the NBA season is, fans often want to find out what is going on with their favorite players. The NBA offseason is no less as players get traded, sign new deals, and whatnot.?So, it usually is safe to assume that the biggest stars in the league are the players that are often Googled the most. However, for the most Googled entity in 2023, you?d be surprised to know that it is not Stephen Curry [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/stephen-curry/], or LeBron James, and not even Michael Jordan [http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-jordan/]. But instead, it is this All-Star point guard. HOW A SIX-FOOTER OVERSHADOWED LEGEND MICHAEL JORDAN The 2023 NBA offseason has been full of surprises with teams waiving off players [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-basketball-news-following-the-waiving-of-seven-two-giant-nba-community-hopes-to-team-him-up-with-spurs-star-victor-wembanyama-funniest-thing-ever-bol-bol/] and other teams making huge trades to bolster their roster. Now, one would think that LeBron James [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lebron-james/] and Stephen Curry might be at the top of everyone?s search list given how they are the leading stars in the league. Stephen Curry vs LeBron James [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-10-20T030232Z_459980165_MT1USATODAY16988042_RTRMADP_3_NBA-GOLDEN-STATE-WARRIORS-AT-LOS-ANGELES-LAKERS-1.jpg]Oct 19, 2021; Los Angeles, California, USA; Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (6) dribbles a ball against Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (30) during the first quarter at Staples Center. Mandatory Credit: Kiyoshi Mio-USA TODAY Sports But instead, it is none other than the 12-time All-Star, Chris Paul. According to statistics provided by Glimpse [https://meetglimpse.com/insights/most-searched-person/], the most Googled NBA entity is none other than this six-foot “Point God”. Paul was part of a blockbuster deal between the Phoenix Suns [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/phoenix-suns/] and the Washington Wizards. The Suns got Bradley Beal [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/bradley-beal/] in return of the veteran point guard. Pushes Away LeBron James From Reaching His Extortionate Net Worth [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-basketball-news-following-the-three-billion-hornets-sale-michael-jordan-further-pushes-away-lebron-james-from-reaching-his-extortionate-net-worth/] But that wasn?t the end of Paul?s journey this offseason. The Golden State Warriors and the Washington Wizards [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/washington-wizards/] made a deal where they would acquire the savvy point guard in exchange for their rising star, Jordan Poole. CHRIS PAUL’S OFFSEASON MOVES DRAWING ATTENTION Chris Paul [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/chris-paul/] has moved from two teams this offseason to finally find a landing spot with the Golden State Warriors [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/golden-state-warriors/]. Given Paul?s new team and his teammate, fans must?ve been eager to know all the details. The six-time NBA star will be joining forces with Klay Thompson [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/klay-thompson/], Stephen Curry, and Draymond Green [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/draymond-green/] for the 2023-24 NBA season. And that is a lineup not many teams would want to go up against. Watch This Story: Not Michael Jordan but this NBA star had the ugliest beef with Isiah Thomas [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/nba-basketball-news-not-michael-jordan-but-this-nba-star-had-the-ugliest-beef-with-isiah-thomas/] The Warriors will have an absolutely star-studded lineup with Paul added to the mix. No wonder, the seven-time NBA All-Defensive First Teamer was Googled the most in 2023 so far. Let?s wait and see what Paul brings to the Warriors.? 

This six-foot All-Star managed to overshadow Stephen Curry, LeBron James and even Michael Jordan as the most searched NBA entity.

“Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your
better is best” - Tim Duncan said this once, and I took it as a sign to keep
working on myself, without fail! Being a basketball player all my life, it was
natural for me to eventually become an NBA writer at EssentiallySports. Being a
Spurs fan, I fell in love with Duncan and McGrady for making me the fan I am
today. Their dedication to their field inspired me to never give up, despite my
knee surgeries. Today, as an NBA writer, I get to share my unique perspectives
with the world. The fact that I actually get to write about the things that I
love, especially while getting to watch them live, it something I love about my
job. With San Antonio landing a cornerstone for their franchise in Wembanyama,
make sure you are paying close attention to Spurs-based pieces. When I am not
knee-deep into all things basketball, I am gaming. I love PUBG, NBA2K and Forza
Horizon. Want to have a spirited debate on my articles? Hit me up on the links

<strong>Bradley Beal 2021: Net worth, salary &amp; endorsements</strong>

Bradley Beal was born in St. Louis, Missouri on June 28, 1993. Beal's family has a sports background. He first learned Basketball from his mother Besta, who played college basketball at Kentucky State. He has four brothers, each of whom plays college football.

Beal attended Chaminade College Preparatory School. He was one of those prodigies who made it to the FIBA U-17 World Championship, representing USA. He won the championship and also won the MVP, making it to the all-tournament team.

After that, he played college basketball for the Florida Gators, before being selected by Washington Wizards with the third overall pick in the 2012 <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-2019-20-season-preview/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NBA</a> draft. Since then, he has been an integral part of the Wizards' unit.
<h3>Bradley Beal with the Washington Wizards</h3>
Ever since his debut, Bradley Beal showed promising signs of being a star. Starting alongside John Wall, Beal formed an incredible backcourt duo for the Wizards.

For the first four seasons though Beal's numbers did not take a big jump as he continued to be a 16 point per game scorer in the NBA. But he truly stepped in the 2016-17 season. Averaging about 23 points per game, Beal's scoring potential was visible.

[caption id="attachment_528960" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-528960" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210127103316/2021-01-27T035506Z_1019324137_MT1USATODAY15487100_RTRMADP_3_NBA-WASHINGTON-WIZARDS-AT-HOUSTON-ROCKETS.jpg" alt="Wizards' Bradley Beal" width="1920" height="1382" /> Jan 26, 2021; Houston, Texas, USA; Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (3) reacts to a call during the fourth quarter of a game against the Houston Rockets at Toyota Center. Mandatory Credit: Carmen Mandato/Pool Photo-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

If 2016-17 was a breakout season for Beal, 2019-20 season was the one were Beal unleashed himself. Averaging 30.5 points, 6.1 assists and 4.2 rebounds per game, the 28-year-old was the second best scorer in the league only topped by James Harden.

The same trend continued in the 2020-21 season. While he did share the court with a dynamic point guard like Russell Westbrook, the scoring load was still the same. Averaging 31.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, Beal was the second highest scorer in the league yet again and led his team to a playoff berth as well.

While Beal has become one of the best scorers in the game, post season success has been scarce. Can the Wizards help Beal by pairing him up with a second star or is a first round exit the best Beal and Co. can achieve?

<h2>Chris Paul 2022: Net worth, salary, and endorsements</h2>
Phoenix Suns star Chris Paul, also known as the Point God is currently playing his 17th season in the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/">NBA</a>. He was drafted with the fourth overall pick in the 2005 NBA Draft by the New Orleans Hornets.

Despite the Hornets' lack of success, Paul emerged as one of the best point guards in the league. His best campaign came in 2008 when he finished second in the MVP voting, a result some fans are still not content about.

[caption id="attachment_665761" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-665761" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-05-30T200536Z_608883694_MT1USATODAY16178850_RTRMADP_3_NBA-PLAYOFFS-PHOENIX-SUNS-AT-LOS-ANGELES-LAKERS.jpg" alt="Lakers could have had Chris Paul?" width="1920" height="1306" /> May 30, 2021; Los Angeles, California, USA; Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (3) controls the ball against the Los Angeles Lakers during the first half in game four of the first round of the 2021 NBA Playoffs. at Staples Center. Mandatory Credit: Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

He was then traded to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/la-clippers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">LA Clippers</a> in 2011 where he had the iconic Lob City team up with Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. They became one of the best teams in the league and were also very entertaining to watch. But lack of postseason success still followed Paul who was subsequently traded to the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/houston-rockets/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Houston Rockets</a> in 2017.

He joined forces with James Harden, and almost led them to the NBA Finals, but then he got injured sadly. He played just two seasons before the Rockets traded him to the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/oklahoma-city-thunder/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Oklahoma City Thunder</a>.

Following the season, the Thunder accepted his wishes and sent him to the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/phoenix-suns/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Phoenix Suns</a> where he is now creating menace in the West alongside <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/devin-booker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Devin Booker</a>. In his first season itself, CP3 led a young Suns side all the way to the Finals defeating LeBron James and the mighty Lakers in the first round and defeating a resilient Clippers' side in the Conference Finals. In spite of leading in the Finals, the Suns lost to the Bucks.

In the 2021-22 season, Paul has been the protagonist in the build-up play for Phoenix, in spite of not putting up the best numbers. Needless to say, the side is performing exceedingly well.

They became one of the best teams in the league and were also very entertaining to watch. But lack of postseason success still followed Paul who was subsequently traded to the Houston Rockets in 2017. He joined forces with James Harden, and almost led them to the NBA Finals, but then he got injured sadly. He played just two seasons before the Rockets traded him to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Following the season, the Thunder accepted his wishes and sent him to the Phoenix Suns where he is now creating menace in the West alongside Devin Booker. In his first season itself, CP3 led a young Suns side all the way to the Finals defeating LeBron James and the mighty Lakers in the first round and defeating a resilient Clippers&#8217; side in the Conference Finals. In spite of leading in the Finals, the Suns lost to the Bucks. In the 2021-22 season, Paul has been the protagonist in the build-up play for Phoenix, in spite of not putting up the best numbers. Needless to say, the side is performing exceedingly well.

Klay Thompson suffered a torn ACL during the 2019 NBA Finals and missed the subsequent season. But as the shooting guard was gearing up for his return to the 2021 season, he tore his right Achilles tendon a month before the season opener, which again sidelined him for an entire year.

LeBron James

Who is LeBron James? LeBron James is widely considered to be one of the greatest to ever play the game of basketball. Born in Akron, James spent the majority of his professional career with the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Los Angeles Lakers, winning multiple NBA championships and earning numerous accolades along the way. Dec 7, 2023; Las Vegas, Nevada, USA; Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (23) reacts during the second quarter against the New Orleans Pelicans in the NBA In Season Tournament Semifinal at T-Mobile Arena. Mandatory Credit: Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports &nbsp; Known for his exceptional all-around game, James is a four-time MVP and has been selected to the All-Star team a record 18 times. LeBron James&#8217; early life LeBron James was born on December 30, 1984, in Akron, Ohio. James started playing basketball at a young age, showing great potential. He soon became one of the best high school basketball players in the country. James graduated from St. Vincent&#8217;s St. Mary High School and declared for the NBA draft in 2003. James led St. Vincent&#8217;s St. Mary to three state championships in four years. With Keith Dambrot and Dru Joyce II coaching the side for two years each, the Fighting Irish had a record of 101 victories and 6 losses during James&#8217; time. LeBron James&#8217; wife and children LeBron James was raised by his mother Gloria James, who struggled to make ends meet as a single mother. Not much is known about James&#8217; biological father Anthony McClelland, who was largely absent from LeBron&#8217;s life during his childhood. He is also reported to have criminal records to his name. James has been in a relationship with his high school sweetheart Savannah since his teenage years. The couple tied the knot on September 14, 2013. Savannah James has indulged in several business ventures over the years and is also a noted philanthropist. She has also established a mentorship program for young women. LeBron and Savannah have three children together: Bronny, Bryce, and Zhuri James. Both Bronny and Bryce are following in their father&#8217;s footsteps to become basketball stars. In December 2023, Bronny made his long-awaited collegiate debut with the USC Trojans, less than five months after suffering cardiac arrest in July. LeBron James&#8217; net worth 2024 LeBron James has an estimated net worth of $1 billion, according to recent reports. James is the first active NBA star to achieve this feat. The four-time NBA champion signed a two-year $97.1 million contract extension with theÂ Los Angeles Lakers last year. As per reports, James has earned around $387 million in salaries in his 20-year NBA career so far. Furthermore, he has also made a fortune with his endorsement deals and investments, which have helped him build his massive business empire. LeBron James&#8217; NBA career timeline TheÂ Cleveland Cavaliers selected hometown boy LeBron James as the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft. James was a superstar straight out of high school and took the league by storm. He played for the Cavaliers from 2003 to 2010 in his first stint and won MVP awards in 2009 and 2010. Even though the Akron Hammer was almost unstoppable on the court and won many individual accolades, team success was hard to come by.

He received major backlash from Cavs fans after this move. However, he continued his dominance, alongside superstars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh for the Heat, and clinched his first NBA title in 2012, followed by another in 2013. He also won the NBA MVP award and the Finals MVP award in 2012 and 2013. The estranged son then returned to the Cavaliers in 2014 and took the team to four straight NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors. He helped the Cavs win their first-ever NBA title in 2016. James once again left the Cavs, this time to join the Los Angeles Lakers, in 2018 and led them to the 2020 NBA title.Â  Following the retirements of Udonis Haslem and Andre Iguodala, LeBron James is currently the oldest player in the league.

King James is dedicated to providing the youth of America, especially those at risk, the opportunity required to prosper in life with his &#8216;I Promise&#8217; initiative. LeBron James&#8217; rings Over his illustrious 20-year career (and counting), James has won four NBA championships. He has led three different franchises &#8211; the Miami Heat, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Los Angeles Lakers &#8211; to NBA titles. James&#8217; first title came in 2012 with the Heat, when he won his first Finals MVP award, followed by a second consecutive title in 2013. After returning to Cleveland in 2014, James delivered on his promise to bring the city its first major sports championship in over 50 years. In 2016, James powered the Cavaliers back from a daunting 3-1 deficit against the record-setting Golden State Warriors in the Finals. James won his 4th championship and NBA Finals MVP award in 2020, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a championship against his former side, the Miami Heat. LeBron James&#8217; shoe deals LeBron James signed a huge deal with Nike even before he entered the NBA. As James&#8217; superstardom rose, he became one of the most important faces of the brand, with his line of signature shoes, which is in its 20th version now. The four-time NBA MVP signed a lifetime deal with Nike in 2015 for an undisclosed fee. LeBron James&#8217; house LeBron James has reiterated multiple times that he does not spend his hard-earned money without reason. Former teammate Dwyane Wade once revealed that James is one of the cheapest players in the league despite being one of the richest. However, James knows how to spend his fortune in style. And when it comes to where he lives, the King does not compromise. According to reports, LeBron owns multiple properties in California, Ohio, and Miami, that are worth a combined estimated value of $100 million. LeBron James&#8217; car collection LeBron James is known for having an extensive collection of cars, estimated to be worth over $2 million. Some of the standouts include a Chevy Camaro SS, a 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder, and the Dodge Challenger SRT 392. He also owns a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster, a 720-horsepower V12 supercar. Another notable element of his collection is a Mercedes luxury sedan, the Maybach S650, worth around $200,000. Notably, after teaming up with Shaquille O&#8217;Neal in Cleveland, Shaq gifted LeBron a Rolls Royce Phantom for his 25th birthday. The luxury car goes from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds and is valued at around $505,000. LeBron James&#8217; controversial moments LeBron James has not had any major controversies so far. However, there have been a few questionable moments in his career. James was the centerpiece of controversy during his high school career for accepting gifts. Then his infamous move to the Miami Heat in 2010, announced on national television, stirred up a lot of controversy. James, who is very vocal about his political beliefs, was criticized for his association with Nike because of the brand&#8217;s political stance. Also, his comments on America after Brittney Griner&#8217;s detainment in Russia sparked some controversy. Will LeBron James retire? LeBron James, 39, is currently playing his 21st NBA season in the NBA. The future Hall of Famer is still playing at the highest level, but he is definitely at the tail end of his career. However, the Lakers icon will not retire after the 2023-24 season as he has multiple times opened up about his desire to play alongside his son Bronny James in the league. Bronny will be eligible to declare for the NBA draft next year. So there is a high chance that James may continue playing in the league until his son enters the NBA.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Stephen Curry's Net Worth 2024</h2>
Stephen Curry did not earn a lot early in his NBA career. Now, having established himself as one of the best players in the league, he is one of the highest-earning basketball players in the world. He became the first player to sign a $200 million contract in 2017. The sharpshooter signed a four-year $215.35 million contract extension with the <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/golden-state-warriors/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> in 2021, with an annual average salary of $53 million. And while doing so, he also became the first player to sign two straight contracts worth over $200 million.

Curry has an estimated net worth of $160 million, according to recent reports. He has earned over $354,721,977 over 15 seasons with the Golden State Warriors. Also, like most world-class athletes, Steph earns a lot from endorsements and partnerships as well. In 2022, he was the 5th highest-paid athlete in the world earning $92.8 million, with $45.8 million in NBA salary and $47 million in endorsements.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611"></figure>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">The early life of Stephen Curry</h2>
Stephen Curry was born on March 14, 1988, in Akron, Ohio. The four-time NBA champion was brought up in Charlotte, North Carolina. After graduating from Charlotte Christian High School, Curry joined Davidson College in 2006. The point guard slowly but steadily became one of the best college players in the country. After three years of college, Curry declared for the NBA draft in 2009. He later completed his bachelor's degree in sociology in May 2022.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Stephen Curryâ€™s family and personal life</b></h2>
Stephen Curry was born to NBA veteran Dell and Sonya Curry. Much like Steph, Dell was a sharpshooter as well and played 16 seasons in the league, with 10 of them spent with the Hornets. Steph was born just two years after his father entered the NBA. So, naturally, he grew up around the league. The two-time NBA MVP has two younger siblings: Seth and Sydel Curry. Seth currently plays for the Dallas Mavericks, signing a two-year contract in 2023.

Steph married Ayesha Curry in 2011 in front of friends and family, after dating for a few years. The couple has three children together: Riley, Ryan, and Canon Curry. Given Curry's popularity, his children are in the spotlight as well and have quickly become internet sensations.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Stephen Curryâ€™s career timeline</b></h2>
Stephen Curry was not dreaming of playing college basketball for Davidson College. However, most D1 college coaches thought Curry was too small and slight. Davidson was the only D1 college to offer him a scholarship because the head coach, Rob McKillop, believed in his abilities. It was a blessing in disguise forÂ <em>The Baby-Faced Assassin,</em>Â as he improved consistently for the Wildcats. He soon became one of the best college players in the country. After three years of college basketball from 2006 to 2009 with some impressive performances, he declared for the NBA draft.

The Golden State Warriors selected Steph as the 7th overall pick, arguably the best decision the team has ever made. However, Curry did not bring success to the team overnight. Even though Curry showed flashes of greatness after entering the league, he suffered from multiple injuries that often kept him sidelined. So the Warriors' decision to draft the young star was under scrutiny.

At the time, Monta Ellis was the best player on the team. Despite Curry's injury woes, they continued to believe in him and his abilities. In 2012, the Dubs traded Ellis to the Milwaukee Bucks and showed their intention to build the team around Curry, which was considered a major gamble by many. Safe to say, it has paid off in multiple folds. And no one is questioning the decision now.

As Curry improved his overall health and fitness, he started playing at a high level consistently. Curry won back-to-back MVP awards in 2015 and 2016, with the second one making him the first-ever unanimous award recipient. He led the Warriors to their first championship in 40 years in 2015 and won again in 2017 and 2018.

After a few disappointing seasons, the Warriors were back at the top of the tree as Curry won the Finals MVP award for the first time in 2022 after leading the Warriors to their fourth title in eight years.

<span style="font-weight: 400">In 2023, Curry surpassed Wilt Chamberlain (7,216) for the most field goals made in Warriors history with 7,222. </span><span style="font-weight: 400">He also became the first player in NBA history to score at least 10,000 career points off of three-pointers.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Against the Sacramento Kings, Curry became the first player to score 50 points in a Game 7 and surpassed Kevin Durant's previous record of 48 points before being overtaken by Celticsâ€™ Jayson Tatum.Â </span>

Much like Steph, Dell was a sharpshooter as well and played 16 seasons in the league, with 10 of them spent with the Hornets. Steph was born just two years after his father entered the NBA. So, naturally, he grew up around the league. The two-time NBA MVP has two younger siblings: Seth and Sydel Curry. Seth currently plays for the Dallas Mavericks, signing a two-year contract in 2023. Steph married Ayesha Curry in 2011 in front of friends and family, after dating for a few years. The couple has three children together: Riley, Ryan, and Canon Curry. Given Curry&#8217;s popularity, his children are in the spotlight as well and have quickly become internet sensations. Stephen Curryâ€™s career timeline Stephen Curry was not dreaming of playing college basketball for Davidson College. However, most D1 college coaches thought Curry was too small and slight. Davidson was the only D1 college to offer him a scholarship because the head coach, Rob McKillop, believed in his abilities. It was a blessing in disguise forÂ The Baby-Faced Assassin,Â as he improved consistently for the Wildcats. He soon became one of the best college players in the country. After three years of college basketball from 2006 to 2009 with some impressive performances, he declared for the NBA draft. The Golden State Warriors selected Steph as the 7th overall pick, arguably the best decision the team has ever made. However, Curry did not bring success to the team overnight. Even though Curry showed flashes of greatness after entering the league, he suffered from multiple injuries that often kept him sidelined. So the Warriors&#8217; decision to draft the young star was under scrutiny.

Mandatory Credit: John Hefti-USA TODAY Sports At the time, Monta Ellis was the best player on the team. Despite Curry&#8217;s injury woes, they continued to believe in him and his abilities. In 2012, the Dubs traded Ellis to the Milwaukee Bucks and showed their intention to build the team around Curry, which was considered a major gamble by many. Safe to say, it has paid off in multiple folds. And no one is questioning the decision now. As Curry improved his overall health and fitness, he started playing at a high level consistently. Curry won back-to-back MVP awards in 2015 and 2016, with the second one making him the first-ever unanimous award recipient. He led the Warriors to their first championship in 40 years in 2015 and won again in 2017 and 2018. After a few disappointing seasons, the Warriors were back at the top of the tree as Curry won the Finals MVP award for the first time in 2022 after leading the Warriors to their fourth title in eight years. In 2023, Curry surpassed Wilt Chamberlain (7,216) for the most field goals made in Warriors history with 7,222. He also became the first player in NBA history to score at least 10,000 career points off of three-pointers. Against the Sacramento Kings, Curry became the first player to score 50 points in a Game 7 and surpassed Kevin Durant&#8217;s previous record of 48 points before being overtaken by Celticsâ€™ Jayson Tatum.Â  Stephen Curryâ€™s NBA career stats Regular season games played &#8211; 919 Regular season points per game &#8211; 24.7 Regular season assists per game &#8211; 6.4 Regular season rebounds per game &#8211; 4.7 Playoff games played &#8211; 147 Postseason points per game &#8211; 27.0 Postseason assists per game &#8211; 6.2 Postseason rebounds per game &#8211; 5.3 Stephen Curryâ€™s partnerships and endorsements Some of the most important endorsements and partnerships of Stephen Curry are as follows: Under Armor Brita Palm Nissan/Infiniti JP Morgan Chase Rakuten Chase Sony Unilever Vivo Stephen Curryâ€™s major achievements and awards 4Ã— NBA champion (2015, 2017, 2018, 2022) NBA Finals MVP (2022) 2Ã— NBA Most Valuable Player (2015, 2016) 9Ã— NBA All-Star (2014â€“2019, 2021â€“2023) NBA All-Star Game MVP (2022) 4Ã— All-NBA First Team (2015, 2016, 2019, 2021) 4Ã— All-NBA Second Team (2014, 2017, 2022, 2023) All-NBA Third Team (2018) NBA All-Rookie First Team (2010) 2Ã— NBA scoring champion (2016, 2021) 2Ã— NBA Three-Point Contest champion (2015, 2021) NBA steals leader (2016) 50â€“40â€“90 club (2016) NBA Sportsmanship Award (2011) NBA Social Justice Champion Award (2023) NBA 75th Anniversary Team AP Athlete of the Year (2015) Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year (2022) Consensus first-team All-American (2009) Consensus second-team All-American (2008) NCAA season scoring leader (2009) 2Ã— SoCon Player of the Year (2008, 2009) 3Ã— First-team All-SoCon (2007â€“2009) No. 30 retired by Davidson Wildcats Stephen Curryâ€™s charity work and philanthropy Stephen Curry is a philanthropist and gives back to the community by more than one means.

Then in 2017, Curry re-signed with Under Armour and also received equity as part of the lucrative $215 million deal. In 2020, UA historically launched the Curry brand in competition with the Jordan brand. Curry recently signed a new long-term contract with the brand which will run past his retirement as per various sources. Even though the financial details of the deal are not disclosed, it is believed to be one of the &#8220;richest-ever&#8221; endorsement deals in sports. So far, Under Armour and Curry have released 11 signature shoes together. Stephen Curryâ€™s house Stephen Curry has bought multiple properties over the years. He reportedly purchased a house near his hometown Charlotte for $1.275 million in 2011, eventually selling it in 2019.

Â The new Atherton propertyÂ is an upgrade from their previous home in the same area. Curry also bought a house for $2.1 million in Florida last year, which is not occupied by anyone. He reportedly purchased it for a family member. Stephen Curryâ€™s rings Stephen Curry has won four NBA championships with the Golden State Warriors so far.

The nine-time NBA All-Star won another MVP award in 2016 as well. Curry and the Dubs continued their ascension and have won three more titles. He also won his first-ever All-Star Game MVP award and his first-ever NBA Finals MVP award last year leading the team to the championship.
