Two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry has agreed to a five-year, $201 million extension -- the richest contract in league history -- with the Golden State Warriors, his agent Jeff Austin of Octagon told ESPN.
Curry is the first NBA star who will sign for the supermax contract, the crossing of a $200 million threshold that eventually will become the norm for the NBA's biggest superstars.
Golden State general manager Bob Myers said Friday the Warriors will finalize the contract once the free agency moratorium ends July 6.
An eight-year veteran, Curry has been the foundational star for the Warriors, who recently won their second NBA championship in three years.
The Golden State point guard had been on a four-year, $44 million contract, an extension that he signed when there were grave concerns about the sturdiness of his ankles.
Curry's new deal received accolades from LeBron James, the player he has faced in the past three Finals.
While Curry officially was one of the offseason's top unrestricted free agents, there was never a doubt he would return to the Warriors.
Golden State owner Joe Lacob made that much clear after his team won the NBA le last month.
"We're going to do whatever it takes to keep Steph here and happy," Lacob told the Bay Area News Group. "And I know he wants to be here and we want him here. So, I do not anticipate any issues with him staying."
Now 29, Curry holds career averages of 22.8 points, 6.8 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game over his eight seasons.
He's led the league in 3-pointers for five consecutive seasons and his career total of 1,917 ranks 10th all time. His career 3-point shooting percentage is 43.8, the third-highest all time.
As Curry's shooting has awed, the accolades have rolled in. He's a two-time league MVP, a four-time All-Star and a three-time All-NBA first-team performer.
He was ranked No. 1 on the list of top available free agents this offseason compiled by ESPN's Kevin Pelton.

Much deserved. I didn't even know he's a free agent. Would've been a slight upgrade to Parker.
Real MVP tbh
Lol overpaying a glorified Abdul Rauf
Mark Price would light up tday's NBA

To everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven. Now is the time for 3pt shooters, and prodigy 3pt shooters of which there is really only one, well, they can write their own ticket, especially if they can handle the point as well.
go start your own league then, and make your own cba
Lebron doesn't understand the supply vs demand thing. Sure Steph is a huge box office draw, but the league without Steph would be a of a lot better off than Steph would be without the league.
Hes been deserving a payday for a while now, tbh
ST threw a fit when he signed for 4/40... now realize that 40 per is deserved![]()

If they'd given 100 million$ contracts in the 90s and those s would've fought each other with clubs and spears
I know some of you losers out here will complain about advanced stats and all that but you all know that
1. this sport has lost its soul.
2. put these gots against a competent team with physical defense and those 3s will quickly stop falling because of increased fatigue/stress/hand checks.
I might get some hate for this but it tbhtop Euroleague games have more heart and atmosphere, that's right sons, Euroleague. Where's that KBP arkansas hick when you need him? fire away

Agree with you 2 guys, but the Sixers issue is pretty much a open scam, this draft was enough how many times are they going to get the 1st pick? encouraging tanking but on the other hand resting stars to avoid fatigue/injury is forbidden, the league is a very complex .
Westbrook MVP was a scam as well. The NBA has gone into full blown WWE mode.
