NBA free agency started on July 1 and Stephen Curry was one of the first to take home a big payday. Actually, it was a supermax pay day, earning him $201 million over 5 years with the Golden State Warriors, and making him the highest paid player in NBA history. Curry will average around $40 million per season with the Warriors, an amount he has certainly earned.
LeBron James thinks Stephen Curry’s deal should really be worth $400 million
LeBron James always sticks up for his fellow NBA players, no matter what.
But don’t question an NBA players’ worth to LeBron James. He is one of the biggest supporters of NBA players getting paid as they rightfully deserve, and he’s not afraid to speak up about it.
LeBron is expected to make just over $33 million next season, but up until 2016 he had never been the highest paid in the NBA or even on his own team. LeBron, given his greatness, has always been underpaid and has been an advocate for other players making as much money as they possibly can. And he’s not shy speaking out against leadership in the NBA when it comes to his fellow players.
There is no doubt a rivalry between the Cavaliers and the Warriors and we’ve never really seen LeBron James and Steph Curry be friends off the court. That said, no one is a better ambassador for the game and its players than LeBron James.
