Stephen Curry Contract Details: How Much Does the NBA Finals MVP Earn as Compared to Nikola Jokic, Ja Morant and Luka Doncic?

As the free agency period started last night, NBA teams were quick to sign their stars to contracts so that they can lock them up for the foreseeable future. There are various types of contracts in the NBA. The Veteran minimum, G League contract, rookie scale contract. But the most valuable contracts are the max and the super max contracts. These are offered to players who the team believes are the foundational pieces of their roster.

Steph Curry became the first ever to sign a contract worth more than $200 million. In 2017, he signed a $201 million 5-year contract with the Warriors. Though Russell Westbrook topped it shortly when he signed his $206 million 5-year super max contract with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
