Stephen Curry Signs Long-Term Extension With Under Armour

Mar 30, 2023 11:09 AM

Stephen Curry has signed a long-term contract extension with Under Armour that will extend into his retirement. Curry's deal was set to expire in 2024.

Curry's new agreement could be one of the richest-ever endorsement deals in sports once annual base pay, stock equity, royalties on signature products and on-court incentive bonuses are tallied.

Under Armour signed Curry away from Nike in 2013 and launched the Curry Brand in 2020.

"We started with the signature business, and with the opportunity to deepen the partnership, with an expectation of it going past my playing days and the added investment in the great things that we both bring to the table, it's an exciting time to strengthen that partnership," said Curry, who is currently on his 10th signature sneaker with Under Armour. "We understand that it's a mutually beneficial venture to do some great things, build a great roster, build more scale to the business and create great storytelling."

Phil de Picciotto, the Octagon agency president and founder who negotiated on behalf of Curry, framed the structure as a "really comprehensive deal" that is "meant to stand the ages."

"Belief is a big part of who I am on and off the court," Curry said. "I believe in Under Armour and Curry Brand, the team now in place, and what we're doing together. We share a vision for a big future ahead."

Steve Kerr: 'There's Hope' Andrew Wiggins Returns This Season

Mar 29, 2023 1:00 AM

Steve Kerr said he was hopeful for Andrew Wiggins' return to the Golden State Warriors lineup this season, though he had no specific timeline.

"There's hope but it's I guess indefinite, it's also appropriate because we don't know," said Kerr on Tuesday.

Wiggins has missed 20 straight games due to a private family matter.

Kerr added that Wiggins, who has been working out by himself, will still need to be evaluated by the Warriors' training staff once he returns.

"Once he's back our training staff will be able to get with him and see where he is," added Kerr.

Steve Kerr: Warriors Showed 'Championship Stuff' Beating Bucks

Mar 12, 2023 12:02 PM

The Golden State Warriors have lost eight straight games on the road while extending their home winning streak to seven games with their comeback win in overtime over the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday.

"Championship stuff," Steve Kerr said about how the Warriors closed the game. "That is the team that won four titles. They know how to do it. They got it done tonight against probably the best team in the league."

The Warriors had a 13-point lead in the third quarter but squandered it and were down eight with two minutes left in the fourth.

"It's the challenge of bringing execution and focus," Curry said. "Even when things aren't going your way -- that fourth quarter when they take an eight-point lead -- and you slowly walk them down, that's the belief you have to have that we can do."
