The 2009 NBA draft class was one of the best in recent years. The class boasted players like Stephen Curry, James Harden, DeMar DeRozan, Blake Griffin, and Jrue Holiday. All of them are multiple-time All-Stars and some of them are NBA Champions as well. Even though the draft boasted players like Curry [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/stephen-curry/], Harden [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jame], and DeRozan, none of them were able to win the Rookie of the Year. No, that honor went to the number four pick in the draft, Tyreke Evans. Evans was drafted by the Sacramento Kings [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/sacramento-kings/] and he had a great year as he averaged [https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/e/evansty01.html] over 20 points a game for them. He was considered to be the best player in the draft after his rookie year, and many expected him to take the next step. Tyreke Evans [https://www.staging.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Tyreke-Evans.png] But he was unable to reach the heights of his rookie season again. His scoring declined each year, and he was a below-average defender as well. In his final season in Indiana [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/indiana-pacers/], Evans shot less than 39 percent from the field. In 2019, Evans was banned from the NBA for violating the terms of its Anti-Drug Program.

Evans will be eligible to sign with a new team as soon as Friday. He will try to attempt to return to the league and get back some of his scoring and playmaking success. Evans was once considered one of the best young players in the league. But he was unable to sustain his rookie season success over a long period and his average declined each year. Evans is now 32 and he will feel like he has a few more years left in the tank. He has been seen working out with John Wall [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/john-wall/] and Michael Beasley in Miami. Several teams will be interested in his services, especially those who are actively looking in the buyout market. He may even get a chance with a contender and he will be keen to make a mark in the league.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>DeMar DeRozan 2021: Net worth, salary, and endorsements</strong></h2>
DeMar DeRozan is the superstar small forward for the Chicago Bulls. In an era where three-point shooting has become a must in the league, DeRozan has found a way to dominate the game without having an effective jump shot, making him one of the most unique players in the league right now.

Playing for the USC Trojans in the 2008-09 season, DeRozan had a slow start to his collegiate career. But eventually the 6'7" forward gained confidence and started putting up great numbers. By the end of the season, DeRozan was one of the top performers for the teams as he <a href="https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/southern-california/2009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">averaged</a> 13.9 points, 1.5 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game.

[caption id="attachment_815967" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-815967" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-10-06T013313Z_809955587_MT1USATODAY16897693_RTRMADP_3_NBA-PRESEASON-CLEVELAND-CAVALIERS-AT-CHICAGO-BULLS-1.jpg" alt="DeMar DeRozan" width="1920" height="1280" /> Oct 5, 2021; Chicago, Illinois, USA; Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan (11) brings the ball up court against the Cleveland Cavaliers during the first half of a preseason NBA game at United Center.

Given his stats and his late step up in his only collegiate season, draft stock was high for the 20-year-old. Coming up alongside the likes of Stephen Curry and James Harden, DeRozan's draft class was stacked, to say the least.

The 20-year-old ended up becoming the 9th lottery pick and was picked up by the Toronto Raptors.
<h2 style="text-align: center">DeMar DeRozan with the Toronto Raptors</h2>
While DeRozan was a lottery pick for the Raptors, unlike his peers, his playtime was limited. Playing off of the bench, DeRozan became a decent rotational player chipping in with averages of 8.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game in 21 minutes of playtime.

But the departure of superstar Chris Bosh was certainly the biggest game changer for DeRozan and the Raptors organisation. Losing their star, the Raptors found themselves in a rebuilding phase. With a pick like DeRozan in their hands, the franchise took the chance on the sophomore and made him a starter.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-124203" src="https://www.staging.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/486173711-demar-derozan-and-kyle-lowry-of-the-toronto-raptors.jpg.CROP_.promo-xlarge2.jpg" alt="" width="1180" height="842" />

The forward's quality certainly showed up, as his statistics saw a massive jump. <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/d/derozde01/gamelog/2011" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Averaging</a> 17.2 points, 1.8 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game, his stats nearly doubled, and the franchise knew they had a star in hand.

Over the next few years, the team brought in a second star in Kyle Lowry. Like DeRozan, Lowry started off with middling stats but eventually gained confidence and saw a jump in his numbers as well. With the duo DeRozan and Lowry about to hit their peak, the Raptors became a contender in the East yet again.

DeRozan certainly was the star man of the show, averaging more than 20  points per game for four seasons in a row and leading the team to multiple top three finishes in the regular season. But this success did not translate in the post-season.

With their championship window dwindling, the Raptors made a drastic and polarizing decision as they traded off DeRozan to the Spurs and brought in <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kawhi-leonard/">Kawhi Leonard</a> instead.
<h2 style="text-align: center">DeMar DeRozan with the San Antonio Spurs</h2>
After being traded away from Toronto, DeRozan certainly wasn't impressed with a move to away from the Raptors. But an opportunity to play under the guidance of Gregg Popovich was an enticing prospect nonetheless.

Initially, DeRozan continued to put up his usual stats with the Spurs and even led them to appearances in the playoffs. But his game did change quite a lot with the Spurs, eventually.

[caption id="attachment_568357" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-568357" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210301120640/2021-02-28T021606Z_633818399_MT1USATODAY15643786_RTRMADP_3_NBA-NEW-ORLEANS-PELICANS-AT-SAN-ANTONIO-SPURS.jpg" alt="San Antonio Spurs forward DeMar DeRozan" width="1920" height="1280" /> Feb 27, 2021; San Antonio, Texas, USA; San Antonio Spurs forward DeMar DeRozan (10) dribbles in against New Orleans Pelicans guard Eric Bledsoe (5) in the first half at the AT&amp;T Center. Mandatory Credit: Daniel Dunn-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

While the mid-range continued to be his primary weapon to score the ball, his passing certainly was much better now as he had career highs in his playmaking numbers. But the Spurs were also moving to a new era and did not want to retain DeRozan in the 2021 off-season. This meant that a new destination awaited the 32-year-old.
<h2 style="text-align: center">DeMar DeRozan with the Chicago Bulls</h2>
In the 2021 free agency, DeRozan was one of the biggest names alongside his longtime friend Kyle Lowry. Being linked to moves to contenders like Los Angeles Lakers, DeRozan even admitted that he would love to play for LA.

But with Lakers making a swing for <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/russell-westbrook/">Russell Westbrook</a>, that chapter was closed. While he could have signed for a lesser role with other contenders, DeRozan knew he had a lot left in the tank and signed on with the Chicago Bulls.

[caption id="attachment_815968" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-815968 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-10-26T022315Z_1817913985_MT1USATODAY17028160_RTRMADP_3_NBA-CHICAGO-BULLS-AT-TORONTO-RAPTORS.jpg" alt="Bulls' DeMar DeRozan" width="1920" height="1291" /> Oct 25, 2021; Toronto, Ontario, CAN; Chicago Bulls guard DeMar DeRozan (11) goes to the basket over Toronto Raptors forwards Scottie Barnes (4) and Precious Achiuwa (5) in the second half at Scotiabank Arena.

The Bulls who have transformed their team have been formidable so far this season. In the 11 games they played, they have simply been unstoppable winning 8 games and all of them have been in dominant fashion. With a much more balanced team around him, DeRozan has flourished and has established himself as the <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/CHI/2022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lead scorer</a> for the team. If the Bulls can carry on this momentum, they might turn out to be a dark horse contender in the near future.

<p style="text-align: center">1x Olympic Champion (2016)</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">DeMar DeRozan stats</h2>
In the 13 seasons and 892 games he has played, DeRozan has been one of the stars of the league and has <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/d/derozde01.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">averaged</a> 20.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game.

Currently with the Bulls, DeRozan has been on a tear. In the 11 games he has played so far, the 32-year-old has led the Bulls in scoring averaging  26.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game.
<h2 style="text-align: center">DeMar DeRozan contract</h2>
After serving out his five-year contract for worth $139 million, DeMar was a free agent in the 2021 free agency. The Bulls certainly were interested in the forward.

Ahead of 2021-22 season, DeRozan signed a very lucrative 3-year <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nba/chicago-bulls/demar-derozan-6327/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contract</a> worth $81 million. In the current season, the 32-year-old is set to earn around $26 million.

Although the deal was considered a costly one, given DeRozan's current form, it seems like a steal. If the veteran continues to perform at such a high level, an extension might be a viable option next season.
<h2 style="text-align: center">DeMar DeRozan's net worth</h2>
According to <a href="https://wealthygorilla.com/demar-derozan-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wealthy Gorilla</a>, DeMar DeRozan has an estimated net worth of $23 million.

According to <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/demar-derozan/?sh=2901875f24b6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Forbes</a>, DeRozan is among the 100-best paid athletes in the world.

With endorsements with brands like Nike, Spalding, Gatorade, Klipsch DeRozan earns about $4 million alone.
<h2 style="text-align: center">DeMar DeRozan charity</h2>
DeMar DeRozan was one of the most active members in the Toronto community while he was a Raptor.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is James Harden?</b></h2>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap">James Harden has been one of the NBA's most talented offensive players over the last decade. The bearded shooting guard is known for his crafty style, superb ability to create his shot, and excellence at driving to the basket and drawing fouls.</p>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap">After being selected #3 overall in the 2009 draft out of Arizona State, Harden first made his mark with the Oklahoma City Thunder. He, however, blossomed into a superstar after a 2012 trade to the Houston Rockets, developing creative moves like his signature step-back jump shot. With his scoring touch, he won MVP honors in 2018 and three scoring titles while with the Rockets, solidifying his status among the game's current greats.</p>

<h2 class="whitespace-pre-wrap" style="text-align: center"><b>James Harden's early life</b></h2>
James Harden was born on August 26, 1989, in Los Angeles, California, and spent most of his early life there. James Harden's parents are James Harden Sr. and Monja Willis. Since his father was in and out of prison throughout his childhood, Harden was mostly raised by his mother. He was the youngest of three children and there is a ten-year age gap between him and his next sibling. His elder brother is Akili Roberson, who has played college football. His elder sister, Arnique Jelks, is an interior designer.

Harden was nicknamed Lucky by his mother because Willis had multiple miscarriages before giving birth to him. Raising her children in Compton, Willis encouraged them to pursue sports to stay out of trouble.

The Beard developed a love for the game of basketball when he was very young and started playing the sport passionately. Soon, Harden became one of the most talented high school stars in the state. After graduating from Artesia High School, Lakewood in 2007, he received multiple college offers and committed to Arizona State University. Harden played two years of college basketball where he impressed many and declared for the NBA draft in 2009.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>James Harden's wife and children</b></h2>
Harden has been in romantic relationships with many high-profile celebrities, like Amber Rose, Khloe Kardashian, Brittany Renner, and Ashanti, among others. Currently, the 2018 NBA MVP is rumored to be in a relationship with model Jessyka Jenshel.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>James Harden's career timeline</b></h2>
James Harden started playing baseball after his mother Monja Willis encouraged her kids to pursue sports. A young James then turned to basketball and fell in love with the game. He soon developed impressive skills and always believed that he would one day play in the NBA. A few years later, he was a high school superstar and led his team to back-to-back state championships. Harden was also named a McDonald's All-American for his performances.

Harden's basketball coach Scott Pera was a huge reason behind the latter's success in high school. So Harden promised Pera that he would commit to whichever school he joined. After Pera joined Arizona State University as an assistant coach, Harden kept his promise and committed to the school. Harden's ascension continued in college where he caught the eyes of NBA teams. After two years, he declared for the NBA draft in 2009.

The Oklahoma City Thunder selected Harden as the 3rd pick of the draft. The Thunder already had young stars like Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook in their ranks. So Harden had to earn his time and come off the bench. He did not start any game in his rookie season despite playing 76 games. Also, he started only 7 games in his three-year stint with the Thunder. In his third year, Harden won the Sixth-Man of the Year award averaging 16.8 points per game. However, his time at OKC came to an end after the Thunder lost the 2011-12 NBA Finals.

OKC could have had one of the best trios ever. But they were reluctant to give Harden a Max deal, and he was not ready to accept anything less. So the Thunder traded Harden to the Houston Rockets, which allowed him to showcase his full potential. In his first season with the Rockets, Harden erupted for 25.9 points per game, which was a massive jump from the previous year. He also made the All-Star Team for the first time in his career in the same season. Harden continued his offensive dominance and was unstoppable at times. In 2018, he was the scoring champion and also clinched the NBA MVP award. He won the scoring title in the next two seasons as well. However, he could not lead the Rockets to the NBA Finals.

After spending nine seasons with the Rockets, Harden played for the Brooklyn Nets for less than two years. He then joined the Philadelphia 76ers in 2021 and has been an integral part of the team since then. Even <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-active-basketball-news-overconfident-james-harden-emphasises-respect-after-securing-second-straight-dub-for-clippers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">though he is not his MVP self</a> anymore, Harden is still a great playmaker who has averaged over 10 assists per game in the last five seasons. He was also the assists leader for the 2022-23 season.

James Harden

Who is James Harden? James Harden has been one of the NBA&#8217;s most talented offensive players over the last decade. The bearded shooting guard is known for his crafty style, superb ability to create his shot, and excellence at driving to the basket and drawing fouls. After being selected #3 overall in the 2009 draft out of Arizona State, Harden first made his mark with the Oklahoma City Thunder. He, however, blossomed into a superstar after a 2012 trade to the Houston Rockets, developing creative moves like his signature step-back jump shot. With his scoring touch, he won MVP honors in 2018 and three scoring titles while with the Rockets, solidifying his status among the game&#8217;s current greats. James Harden&#8217;s early life James Harden was born on August 26, 1989, in Los Angeles, California, and spent most of his early life there. James Harden&#8217;s parents are James Harden Sr. and Monja Willis. Since his father was in and out of prison throughout his childhood, Harden was mostly raised by his mother. He was the youngest of three children and there is a ten-year age gap between him and his next sibling. His elder brother is Akili Roberson, who has played college football. His elder sister, Arnique Jelks, is an interior designer. Harden was nicknamed Lucky by his mother because Willis had multiple miscarriages before giving birth to him. Raising her children in Compton, Willis encouraged them to pursue sports to stay out of trouble. The Beard developed a love for the game of basketball when he was very young and started playing the sport passionately. Soon, Harden became one of the most talented high school stars in the state. After graduating from Artesia High School, Lakewood in 2007, he received multiple college offers and committed to Arizona State University. Harden played two years of college basketball where he impressed many and declared for the NBA draft in 2009. James Harden&#8217;s wife and children Harden has been in romantic relationships with many high-profile celebrities, like Amber Rose, Khloe Kardashian, Brittany Renner, and Ashanti, among others. Currently, the 2018 NBA MVP is rumored to be in a relationship with model Jessyka Jenshel.

<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.

[caption id="attachment_2474127" align="alignnone" width="4323"]<img class="size-full wp-image-2474127" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2023-12-20T054606Z_45622464_MT1USATODAY22143535_RTRMADP_3_NBA-BOSTON-CELTICS-AT-GOLDEN-STATE-WARRIORS.jpg" alt="" width="4323" height="2882" /> Dec 19, 2023; San Francisco, California, USA; Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (30) reacts after scoring against the Boston Celtics during the overtime period at Chase Center.

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.

[caption id="attachment_2474092" align="alignnone" width="3287"]<img class="size-full wp-image-2474092" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2023-12-20T055807Z_1149708489_MT1USATODAY22143576_RTRMADP_3_NBA-BOSTON-CELTICS-AT-GOLDEN-STATE-WARRIORS.jpg" alt="" width="3287" height="2191" /> Dec 19, 2023; San Francisco, California, USA; Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (30) attempts a three-point shot against the Boston Celtics during the second half at Chase Center.

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>

The 2022 All-Star Game MVP is also involved in other charities like Animal Rescue Foundation, United Nations Foundation, Nothing But Nets, Brotherhood Crusade, and V Foundation for Cancer Research.

Stephen Curry was a Nike athlete initially. In the 2013 off-season, he signed with Under Armour in a deal worth $4 million.

Stephen Curry

Stephen Curry&#8217;s Net Worth 2024 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 Golden State Warriors 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.

Mandatory Credit: John Hefti-USA TODAY Sports 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. The early life of Stephen Curry 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&#8217;s degree in sociology in May 2022. Stephen Curryâ€™s family and personal life 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&#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.

The 2022 All-Star Game MVP is also involved in other charities like Animal Rescue Foundation, United Nations Foundation, Nothing But Nets, Brotherhood Crusade, and V Foundation for Cancer Research. Stephen Curryâ€™s shoe deal Stephen Curry was a Nike athlete initially. In the 2013 off-season, he signed with Under Armour in a deal worth $4 million. With his ever-increasing superstardom and success, Curry soon became the face of the brand. He, in turn, helped popularise the brand around the world. 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.
