NBA star gets 640 million - for one year

Basketball star Stephen Curry and his Golden State Warriors have agreed to extend the 36-year-old's contract until the 2026-2027 season. During the last season alone, the star will earn $62.6 million, equivalent to 640 million kronor.

The sum was the highest Golden State Warriors could offer their point guard according to the NBA's rules on salary caps for the 2026-2027 season.

The extension means that Curry, who helped his USA win gold in Paris, will earn a total of 178 million dollars over the next three seasons, equivalent to approximately 1.8 billion kronor. When the contract expires, he is expected to have earned the second-most of all time in the NBA, after LeBron James.

Stephen Curry is considered by many to be the best three-point shooter of all time and has won the NBA four times with Golden State Warriors, where he has played his entire career. Last season, he was the highest-paid player in the league with 51.9 million dollars.

Despite this, the American's contract extension is not the largest sum for an NBA contract. That title is held by Boston Celtics' Jayson Tatum, who signed a contract worth 315 million dollars, equivalent to 3.2 billion kronor, over a five-year period last summer.
