After the exit of the star player, Kevin Durant [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kevin-durant/] from the franchise, Warriors saw their toughest breakup. The fans seemed quite disappointed after the trade. Now it’s Stephen Curry [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/stephen-curry/], Klay Thompson [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/klay-thompson/], and Draymond Green [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/draymond-green/] for taking the team forward. But recently, Green is being a big-mouth for the grudges he held for Durant. The feud between the two Warriors is a long started one but now it’s taking an ugly side. Kevin Durant signed with Brooklyn Nets prior to this season to join his friend, Kyrie Irving [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kyrie-irving/]. There were various rumors that circled around his departure but it seems like none are convinced. Kevin mentioned that one of the reasons was the feeling of not belonging to this franchise. The way Steph and Klay were drafted by the Warriors, they fit in there. Also, Durant’s on-court fight with Green in the last season did play a role in this decision. KEVIN DURANT FINALLY HAS AN ANSWER TO HIS RELATIONS WITH DRAYMOND GREEN Well, Draymond didn’t stop spitting fire to date as well. He has given various controversial statements on various podcasts and Instagram Live. Moreover, Kevin has been the silent one throughout this phase. Only recently on Lil Wayne’s Young Money Radio, he was asked, “How you and Draymond?” As Kevin Durant Leaves For Brooklyn, The Golden State Warriors ... [https://thumbor.forbes.com/thumbor/960x0/https%3A%2F%2Fspecials-images.forbesimg.com%2Fdam%2Fimageserve%2F631558868%2F960x0.jpg%3Ffit%3Dscale] And guess what, Kevin was calm as ever and replied, “We good… We make too much money to entertain it.” Kevin Durant is never seen reacting to Draymond’s allegations or comments on his exit. Kevin Durant slides in from the back door when the greats in the NBA are talked about. He played a significant part in the two championship wins of the Golden State Warriors [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_State_Warriors]. Moreover, he won the finals MVP each time. It surely proves his excellence in the franchise. Alongside the Splash Brothers, Kevin proved his worth time and again. His incredible performances have done wonders for the team and him as a player. Will this feud between Draymond and Kevin ever end? Because Draymond is not looking to take a back seat in this. The last season with the Nets couldn’t silence the haters yet due to injuries. Despite that, it will be interesting to see what Kevin has to offer in the coming years. 

Kevin Durant got traded to Brooklyn Nets this season. His feud with Draymond
Green is a long stretched issue. Durant finally opened up.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Golden State Warriors</b></h2>
<h2><b>History</b></h2>
The Golden State Warriors was founded in 1946 as the Philadelphia Warriors by then-owner Peter A. Tyrrell. The Warriors were one of the founding members of the Basketball Association of America and won the inaugural championship during the 1946-47 season. The team then again clinched the title in the 1955-56 season.

In 1962, new majority owner Franklin Mieuli relocated the Warriors to the San Francisco Bay Area, and the team was renamed the San Francisco Warriors. After another ownership change, the team started playing most of its home games in Oakland. Before the start of the 1971-72 season, the team adopted the name Golden State Warriors.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-255974 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200423163445/nba_goldenstatewarriors.jpg" alt="Golden State Warriors" width="600" height="319" />
<h2><b>Who is the owner of the Golden State Warriors?</b></h2>
The current majority owner of the Warriors is Joseph Steven Lacob, who is a businessman. Interestingly, he initially became a minority owner of the Boston Celtics in 2006. Then, in 2010, Lacob with minority owner Peter Guber bought the Warriors for $450 million from Chris Cohan. This required Lacob to sell his share of the Celtics. Lacob is not just an owner - he is a massive fan. Notably, he had been a Warriors' season ticket holder for over a decade before he purchased the team.

Lacob reportedly has an estimated net worth of $4 billion. He came from quite humble beginnings and couldn't afford college because of his family's financial constraints. So, he had to take a year off and work for the money for college. Lacob became a serial entrepreneur and reportedly invested in over 50 start-ups, of which around 30 were quite successful. His biggest financial success was when he was a partner in Kleiner Parkins. He then started his own business in 1987 after leaving Kleiner Parkins.
<h2><b>Who is the General Manager of the Golden State Warriors?</b></h2>
The Warriors are without a General Manager for the time being after Bob Myers stepped down from the role of President and GM in May 2023. Myers has been an integral part of the Warriors during his 12 years in the management. He played a huge role in the team's success in recent years, overseeing the onboarding of some of the most important players - Draymond Green, Kevin Durant and Andrew Wiggins, among others. He was also instrumental in the extension of superstars Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.
<h2><b>Team sponsors</b></h2>
The Golden State Warriors signed a three-year $20 million-per-year jersey sponsorship deal with Rakuten in 2017. This deal became the biggest jersey sponsorship deal in the NBA at the time. After renewing the contract in 2021, the Warriors then extended the deal recently in 2022, reportedly for $40 million annually. Some of the other major sponsors of the Dubs are Verizon, Clorox, Betway, Biofreeze, DoorDash and Fanatics.

<h2><b>Achievements and wins</b></h2>
The Golden State Warriors are the third most successful team in the NBA with 7 championships. The Dubs are behind the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers who have 17 titles each. The Dubs surpassed the Chicago Bulls with 6 titles after clinching their 7th ring in 2020. Even though they are far off from the Celtics and the Lakers, the Warriors were the first-ever champions. They won the title in the inaugural BAA season in 1946-47 led by basketball legend Joe Fulks. The NBA considers this an official title since the Warriors were one of the founding members of the BAA which then evolved into the NBA in 1948.

After a dry spell, the Warriors were again crowned champions of the 1955-56 season. This was followed by almost two decades of disappointment without a ring. Finally, the Dubs won the title in 1974-75 with the help of legends Rick Barry and Jamaal Wilkes.

After winning the division title in 1976, the Dubs had a lengthy drought of around four decades. They performed poorly for the most part of the 40 years and had just glimpses of hope here and there. Finally, things changed for the better in the early 2010s. In the 2009 NBA draft, the Warriors selected Stephen Curry as the 7th overall pick. Very few imagined that he would be one of the key factors behind the success of the team in coming future.

[caption id="attachment_886554" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-886554 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-01-10T023650Z_101241996_MT1USATODAY17481107_RTRMADP_3_NBA-CLEVELAND-CAVALIERS-AT-GOLDEN-STATE-WARRIORS.jpg" alt="Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors" width="1920" height="1236" /> Jan 9, 2022; San Francisco, California, USA; Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (11) gets a congratulatory handshake from teammate Stephen Curry (30) after making a basket against the Cleveland Cavaliers during the first quarter at Chase Center.

After minor setbacks and some injuries, Curry hit the ground running. The front office also made some smart moves that made the team stronger. Also, the addition of NBA legend Steve Kerr as the head coach was a huge step in the right direction. Curry and Klay Thompson became one of the best duos in the league. Draymond Green soon became one of the best defenders too. Furthermore, Green's versatility allowed Kerr to use smaller lineups which helped the team massively. The Warriors built a great team with role players like Andre Iguodala, Shaun Livingston and Harrison Barnes.

With the ascension of Curry as the back-to-back MVP, the Warriors won the title in 2015. After a disappointing finish in 2016, the team acquired superstar Kevin Durant. This further strengthened the team leading to two straight titles in 2017 and 2018. But the Dubs missed the opportunity to win three straight after losing to the Toronto Raptors in the 2019 Finals. Curry and the Warriors went on to beat all odds when they clinched the ring in 2022 against the Boston Celtics.
<h2><b>Key players and coaches</b></h2>
The Warriors have been fortunate to have had some incredible basketball stars and coaches on their team over the years. They have had Hall of Fame head coaches like Don Nelson, George Karl, Alex Hannum and Steve Kerr. The Dubs have retired the jerseys of legends Al Attles (#16), Tom Meschery (#14), Wilt Chamberlain (#13), Nate Thurmond (#42), Rick Barry (#24) and Chris Mullin (#17) so far.

Notably, All-Time Great Chamberlain made multiple records during his time with the Warriors. He was considered the greatest Warrior of all time by many until the arrival of Stephen Curry.

Now, Curry is a franchise leader in a variety of different categories and has also led the team to four championships. The Warriors are expected to retire the jerseys of current stars Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala in the future for their role in their title runs.
<h2><b>Rivalry with Cleveland Cavaliers</b></h2>
The rivalry between the Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers is fairly new, starting when they clashed in four straight Finals from 2015 to 2018. Things started to heat up when the teams first faced each other in the 2015 NBA Finals. The Cavaliers led by LeBron James were no match for the Warriors with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala. The Dubs clinched the title 4-2 and Iguodala won the Finals MVP for his all-round performance.

The next year, the Warriors set a new regular season win record with 73 wins and 9 losses. They broke the previous record of 72-10 set by the iconic Chicago Bulls team. So the pressure began mounting on the Warriors to win the title. In the Finals, the Dubs once again met familiar foes, the Cavaliers. The Warriors had a quick start and led the series 3-1.

Interestingly, no team had ever won the title after trailing 3-1 in the Finals. But James, Kyrie Irving and their team did not quit. They took it one game at a time and started winning. This put immense pressure on the Warriors. The rivalry between the two reached an all-time high by game-7 in which the Cavs ultimately prevailed and lifted the trophy.

After the disappointing loss, the Warriors added more firepower to the lineup with superstar Kevin Durant. The team seemed unstoppable throughout the season and playoffs and again made the Finals. The Dubs wanted revenge and did just that by clinching the title 4-1 against the Cavs in 2017. The following year, the Warriors and Cavs faced off once again on the ultimate stage. This time, the Cavs had no answer as the Warriors swept them easily to win their second straight ring.
<h2><b>Warriors nicknamed ‘Dubs’</b></h2>
The Warriors are nicknamed the Dubs. According to reports, fans shortened the Warriors to “W’s” and then even shorter to “Dubs". However, the Warriors have certainly earned their nickname winning four titles in the last seven years.

<strong>Draymond Green 2021: Net worth, salary and endorsements</strong>

Draymond Green is an American professional basketball player born on March 4, 1990, who plays in the National Basketball Association (<a href="https://www.nba.com/">NBA</a>). Green primarily plays as a power forward and currently represents the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-2019-20-golden-state-warriors-full-roster/">Golden State Warriors</a>.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Who is Kevin Durant?</h2>
Since entering the league as the 2nd overall pick in 2007, Kevin Durant has established himself as one of the most prolific scorers of the game. Standing at 6'10 with guard skills, his ability to get his shot off against any defender changed the dynamics and the prerequisites of the power forward position. He has won an MVP award, 4 scoring titles, with multiple deep playoff runs, and 2 Finals MVPs while winning back-to-back championships with the Warriors. Injuries, however, have plagued the past few seasons since his Achilles tear in 2019.

[caption id="attachment_2467162" align="alignnone" width="4273"]<img class="size-full wp-image-2467162" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2023-12-16T040353Z_348935045_MT1USATODAY22114761_RTRMADP_3_NBA-NEW-YORK-KNICKS-AT-PHOENIX-SUNS.jpg" alt="" width="4273" height="2849" /> Dec 15, 2023; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (35) makes the pass against the New York Knicks in the first half at Footprint Center.

When healthy, Durant performs at an elite level: a facet of the player that was brought to light in his 2022 playoff run, when he carried the Nets without co-stars Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons. Though questions linger about his health, his offensive performances have, nevertheless, secured his legacy.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Durant's early life</b></h2>
Kevin Durant was born on September 29, 1988, in Washington D.C. The forward spent most of his early life in Prince George's County, Maryland. From a young age, Durant was a very talented basketball star. After graduating from Montrose Christian School, he committed to the University of Texas in Austin in 2006 despite offers from multiple popular programs. After one year of college basketball, KD declared for the NBA draft in 2007. According to reports, he later earned a bachelor's in education with a minor in social work.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Kevin Durant's family and personal life</strong></h2>
Kevin Durant's parents are Wanda Durant and Wayne Pratt. He has three siblings, Brianna, Tony, and Rayvonne. Durant's father abandoned the family when he was an infant and his parents eventually divorced later. The two-time Finals MVP's grandmother helped Wanda in raising him. When KD was 13, Pratt re-entered his life and traveled with him around the country for basketball tournaments.

Durant was once engaged to WNBA star Monica Wright. They started dating in 2013 and were engaged a few months later. However, the engagement was called off, and they reportedly broke up in 2014. He once talked aboutÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-basketball-news-kevin-durant-once-revealed-why-he-broke-up-with-his-fiancee-i-love-this-girl-but-i-didnt-love-her-the-right-way/" target="_self" rel="noopener">the reason behind the failed relationship</a>.

After this, it was rumored KD dated Cassandra Anderson who is a real estate broker. She was spotted attending his games from the spouses' area during his time with the Warriors. There were multiple social media posts of the two together as well. However, the posts were later deleted. It is unclear whether Durant and Cassandra broke up or whether they are trying to keep it private.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Durant's Net Worth in 2024</b></h2>
Kevin Durant has an estimated net worth of around $300 million, according to various reports. Durant currently plays for the Phoenix Suns, after a blockbuster trade from the <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/brooklyn-nets/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Brooklyn Nets</a> in February 2023. He<span style="font-weight: 400">Â is set to earn</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> $46,407,433 during the 2023-24 </span><span style="font-weight: 400">NBA</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> season. The two-time NBA champion also earns tens of millions from endorsements thanks to his popularity and success on the hardwood. Furthermore, KD is also an entrepreneur who invests his well-earned money which has helped him build a business empire. In terms of being the highest-paid athlete in the world, Kevin Durant rounds out the 2023 top ten with $89.1 million.</span>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Durant's career timeline</b></h2>
Kevin Durant was one of the best college basketball stars in the country while playing for the University of Texas. He led the Longhorns to a 25-10 record and clinch 4th seed in the NCAA Tournament. Despite a great game from Durant, the team was eliminated in the second round. For his impressive performances, KD won the National Player of the Year award along with other prestigious accolades. After one year with Texas, he declared for the NBA draft in 2007.

Even though there were some reservations about his lanky build, Durant was expected to be a lottery pick. The Seattle SuperSonics selected KD as the 2nd pick of the draft. However, many still thought that the 6'10" youngster would struggle to play against the well-built stars in the NBA. But that was far from the reality. Durant hit the ground running and won the Rookie of the Year award averaging 20 points per game.

After his rookie year, the franchise moved to Oklahoma, rebranding as theÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/oklahoma-city-thunder/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Oklahoma City Thunder</a>. The Slim Reaper continued his ascension and dominated his opponents. The Thunder were one of the best young teams with KD, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden in the lineup. Durant led the team to the 2012 NBA Finals but lost the title to LeBron James' Miami Heat.

KD was arguably in his prime during the 2013-14 season and won the NBA MVP award averaging 32 points. However, team success was still hard to come by as the Thunder were knocked out in the Conference Finals. After two more disappointing seasons in Oklahoma, Durant joined theÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/golden-state-warriors/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Golden State Warriors</a>. He received major criticism for joining the team that beat the Thunder in the Conference Finals the previous year and also for forming a super team.

Durant instantly helped the Warriors with his skill set and experience. The Dubs won two straight titles and KD won the Finals MVP award on both occasions. The Warriors' hunt for a third straight ring in 2019 came up short in the Finals against the Toronto Raptors as KD struggled with injury throughout the playoffs. After some internal issues within the team, Durant left the Warriors and joined the Brooklyn Nets.

This move was again criticized heavily as Kyrie Irving also joined the Nets the same year. However, because of COVID protocol, Irving missed a lot of games. Then in 2021, Durant's former teammate James Harden also joined the team. But the trio barely played together due to various reasons and Harden left after one year. In the 2022-23 season, the Nets started the season poorly but then went on a great run and looked unstoppable. But things changed after Irving requested a trade and moved to the Dallas Mavericks. Durant later joined theÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/phoenix-suns/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Phoenix Suns</a> in a blockbuster move to play alongside Devin Booker and Chris Paul.

In 2023, <span style="font-weight: 400">Durant announced that he would return to wearing the No. 35 jersey, which he had worn throughout his college and professional career before joining the Nets. The same year, h</span><span style="font-weight: 400">e also finished the regular season shooting over 55% from the field, over 40% from three-point range, and over 90% from the free-throw line, becoming the first player in NBA history to achieve those shooting splits in a season. </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Durant also passed Hakeem Olajuwon in October for 12th on the all-time career scoring list and became the 12th player all-time to reach 27,000 career points.</span>

He has won an MVP award, 4 scoring titles, with multiple deep playoff runs, and 2 Finals MVPs while winning back-to-back championships with the Warriors. Injuries, however, have plagued the past few seasons since his Achilles tear in 2019.

Mandatory Credit: Rick Scuteri-USA TODAY Sports When healthy, Durant performs at an elite level: a facet of the player that was brought to light in his 2022 playoff run, when he carried the Nets without co-stars Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons. Though questions linger about his health, his offensive performances have, nevertheless, secured his legacy. Kevin Durant&#8217;s early life Kevin Durant was born on September 29, 1988, in Washington D.C. The forward spent most of his early life in Prince George&#8217;s County, Maryland. From a young age, Durant was a very talented basketball star. After graduating from Montrose Christian School, he committed to the University of Texas in Austin in 2006 despite offers from multiple popular programs. After one year of college basketball, KD declared for the NBA draft in 2007. According to reports, he later earned a bachelor&#8217;s in education with a minor in social work. Kevin Durant&#8217;s family and personal life Kevin Durant&#8217;s parents are Wanda Durant and Wayne Pratt. He has three siblings, Brianna, Tony, and Rayvonne. Durant&#8217;s father abandoned the family when he was an infant and his parents eventually divorced later. The two-time Finals MVP&#8217;s grandmother helped Wanda in raising him. When KD was 13, Pratt re-entered his life and traveled with him around the country for basketball tournaments. Durant was once engaged to WNBA star Monica Wright. They started dating in 2013 and were engaged a few months later. However, the engagement was called off, and they reportedly broke up in 2014. He once talked aboutÂ the reason behind the failed relationship. After this, it was rumored KD dated Cassandra Anderson who is a real estate broker. She was spotted attending his games from the spouses&#8217; area during his time with the Warriors. There were multiple social media posts of the two together as well. However, the posts were later deleted. It is unclear whether Durant and Cassandra broke up or whether they are trying to keep it private. Kevin Durant&#8217;s Net Worth in 2024 Kevin Durant has an estimated net worth of around $300 million, according to various reports. Durant currently plays for the Phoenix Suns, after a blockbuster trade from the Brooklyn Nets in February 2023. HeÂ is set to earn $46,407,433 during the 2023-24 NBA season. The two-time NBA champion also earns tens of millions from endorsements thanks to his popularity and success on the hardwood. Furthermore, KD is also an entrepreneur who invests his well-earned money which has helped him build a business empire. In terms of being the highest-paid athlete in the world, Kevin Durant rounds out the 2023 top ten with $89.1 million. Kevin Durant&#8217;s career timeline Kevin Durant was one of the best college basketball stars in the country while playing for the University of Texas. He led the Longhorns to a 25-10 record and clinch 4th seed in the NCAA Tournament. Despite a great game from Durant, the team was eliminated in the second round. For his impressive performances, KD won the National Player of the Year award along with other prestigious accolades. After one year with Texas, he declared for the NBA draft in 2007. Even though there were some reservations about his lanky build, Durant was expected to be a lottery pick. The Seattle SuperSonics selected KD as the 2nd pick of the draft. However, many still thought that the 6&#8217;10&#8221; youngster would struggle to play against the well-built stars in the NBA. But that was far from the reality. Durant hit the ground running and won the Rookie of the Year award averaging 20 points per game.  via Getty After his rookie year, the franchise moved to Oklahoma, rebranding as theÂ Oklahoma City Thunder. The Slim Reaper continued his ascension and dominated his opponents. The Thunder were one of the best young teams with KD, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden in the lineup. Durant led the team to the 2012 NBA Finals but lost the title to LeBron James&#8217; Miami Heat. KD was arguably in his prime during the 2013-14 season and won the NBA MVP award averaging 32 points. However, team success was still hard to come by as the Thunder were knocked out in the Conference Finals. After two more disappointing seasons in Oklahoma, Durant joined theÂ Golden State Warriors. He received major criticism for joining the team that beat the Thunder in the Conference Finals the previous year and also for forming a super team. Durant instantly helped the Warriors with his skill set and experience. The Dubs won two straight titles and KD won the Finals MVP award on both occasions. The Warriors&#8217; hunt for a third straight ring in 2019 came up short in the Finals against the Toronto Raptors as KD struggled with injury throughout the playoffs. After some internal issues within the team, Durant left the Warriors and joined the Brooklyn Nets.  via Getty This move was again criticized heavily as Kyrie Irving also joined the Nets the same year. However, because of COVID protocol, Irving missed a lot of games. Then in 2021, Durant&#8217;s former teammate James Harden also joined the team. But the trio barely played together due to various reasons and Harden left after one year. In the 2022-23 season, the Nets started the season poorly but then went on a great run and looked unstoppable. But things changed after Irving requested a trade and moved to the Dallas Mavericks. Durant later joined theÂ Phoenix Suns in a blockbuster move to play alongside Devin Booker and Chris Paul. In 2023, Durant announced that he would return to wearing the No. 35 jersey, which he had worn throughout his college and professional career before joining the Nets. The same year, he also finished the regular season shooting over 55% from the field, over 40% from three-point range, and over 90% from the free-throw line, becoming the first player in NBA history to achieve those shooting splits in a season. Durant also passed Hakeem Olajuwon in October for 12th on the all-time career scoring list and became the 12th player all-time to reach 27,000 career points.

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. After missing the first couple of months in the 2021-22 campaign, Klay played his game in 941 days against the Cavaliers.

While Thompson took some time to readjust to the game, he became a major part of the Warriors' run to their fourth championship in eight years. This continued his historic run of not losing a playoff series when healthy since the 2016 NBA Finals.

Kyrie Irving

By age 4, Kyrie Andrew Irving could dribble between his legs. A point guard, currently plying his craft for the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA, Irving played college basketball for the Duke Blue Devils before being drafted with the first overall pick by the Cavaliers in 2011. After playing six seasons and winning Cleveland a historic championship alongside LeBron James, Irving moved to the Boston Celtics where he played for two seasons. Having become a free agent in the 2019-20 off-season, Irving signed with the Brooklyn Nets and formed a formidable duo with superstar forward Kevin Durant. In February 2023 after a messy exit from Brooklyn, Irving was traded to the Dallas Mavericks, where he formed a partnership with Luka Doncic. Kyrie plays at the point guard position and is currently using jersey no. 11. Kyrie Irving&#8217;s early life Born March 23, 1992 in Melbourne, Australia. His parents, Drederick and Elizabeth Irving were professional basketball players in Australia at the time. When he was two, his family moved back to the United States and settled in West Orange, New Jersey. There is basketball heritage here, with his father Drederick playing college basketball at Boston University alongside Shawn Teague. And courtesy of his father, Kyrie started young too. He went on to attend Montclair Kimberley Academy for middle and high school and showed signs of brilliance. As a sophomore, he led them to their first Division championship in school history. Ranked among the top high school basketball prospects in his senior year, he received scholarship offers from Duke, Kentucky, and other top NCAA programs. Kyrie Irving&#8217;s wife and children Kyrie Irving is not currently married. Previously, he was in a long-term relationship with Kehlani Parrish, an R&amp;B singer. For the most part, Irving keeps his dating life private. Irving has one daughter named Azurie Elizabeth, born on November 23, 2015. Her mother is Andrea Wilson, Kyrie&#8217;s ex-girlfriend. The player previously stated that fatherhood has made him &#8220;a more emotional person&#8221; and that being a father has given him &#8220;more compassion in this world.â€Â  Kyrie Irving&#8217;s net worth 2024 According to Forbes&#8217; 2024 report, the net worth of the Mavericks guard stands at $120 million, encompassing both his on-court earnings and off-court ventures. Irving has maintained an average annual contract salary of $22.5 million over his career. Additionally, he secured an $11 million endorsement deal with Nike for his signature &#8220;Kyrie&#8221; shoes, which proved to be top sellers for the brand. However, following an anti-Semitic tweet, Nike chose to sever ties with Irving. Subsequently, in 2023, Irving inked a new sneaker agreement with the Chinese sportswear powerhouse &#8220;Anta.&#8221; &nbsp; Kyrie Irvingâ€™s career timelineÂ  Back in January, Irving was named an Eastern Conference starter for the 2023 NBA All-Star Game, his eighth selection and sixth as a starter. In February, he was traded to the Dallas Mavericks. During a game in March, Irving scored 40 points while his teammate, Luka Doncic, scored 42 points. It was the first time in Dallas franchise history that two players scored 40 points in the same game.Â  In July 2019, the Nets signed Irving in free agency. On his debut, he scored 50 points against the Minnesota Timberwolves. But he played just 20 games for the Nets in his first season owing to a shoulder injury. In the 2021-22 season, he missed the first half of the season due to his insistence on not getting vaccinated against Covid-19. He eventually started playing in the away games in cities that didn&#8217;t have a vaccine mandate. After New York City also lifted its vaccine requirements, Irving made his season debut at the Barclays Center. However, the Nets were swept in the First Round of the Playoffs by his former employers, Boston Celtics. There were many reports of Irving wanting out of Brooklyn by declining his player option for the final year of the contract. However, Irving opted into the contract, returning to the Nets for the 2022-23 season. Irving, nevertheless, had a tumultuous tenure with the Brooklyn Nets marred by injuries, suspension for promoting an antisemitic film, and conflicts over his stance on not getting vaccinated against COVID-19. Tensions boiled over between Irving and the Nets organization, making a trade appear inevitable before the February deadline.

Mandatory Credit: Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports On February 5, 2023, the Nets traded Kyrie Irving and Markieff Morris to the Dallas Mavericks. In return, the Nets received Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, a 2029 first-round pick, and multiple second-round picks from Dallas. The Mavericks hoped adding the star scoring of Irving would help Doncic and push them higher up in the competitive Western Conference. However, the Mavs struggled to integrate Irving seamlessly into their lineup down the stretch of the 2022-23 season. Interestingly, Irving had about $36.5 million left on his contract for 2022-23 when traded to Dallas. He is eligible for a contract extension with the Mavericks this summer but his future in Dallas remains uncertain. Kyrie Irving contracts According to multiple reports, Irving has agreed to a three-year, $126 million deal with the Mavericks, featuring a player option for the third season. Kyrie Irving&#8217;s salary for the 2023/24 NBA season amounts to $37,037,037. Irving is presently committed to the Dallas Mavericks for a three-year contract valued at $126 million. His status will transition to unrestricted free agency in 2026. By the conclusion of the 2023/24 NBA season, Irving will have amassed a total career earnings of $270,083,674. Â Kyrie Irvingâ€™s Investments After signing a new brand partnership with ANTA and unveiling his new logo, Irving invested in KICKS CREW due to its track record and commitment to building a player-owned and empowered platform. The partnership was driven by a mutual desire to democratize the sneaker marketplace and unite communities through sneaker culture.

In the playoffs, they swept the Detroit Pistons, with Irving contributing 31 points in Games 1 and 4. Advancing with a 12â€“2 record, they met the Golden State Warriors in the 2016 NBA Finals. Despite a challenging start, Irving and LeBron James led a turnaround in Game 5, each scoring 41 points. In a historic Game 7, Irving&#8217;s late three-pointer secured a 93â€“89 victory, ending Cleveland&#8217;s 52-year championship drought.

<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>

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.
