NBA star Steph Curry is one of the 30 highest paid athletes in history

Steph Curry, a superstar for the Golden State Warriors, has received an overwhelming number of honors and awards. He has won Most Valuable Player honors thrice. A winner on four separate occasions. An All-Star for the ninth time. The NBA’s all-time leader in field goal percentage. The public persona of a shoe brand. A person who is in charge of a production firm. He altered the course of the game.

And with that, he now holds the distinction of being one of the highest-paid players in the annals of sports history.

When taking into account the effects of inflation, Sportico places Stephen Curry at the 29th spot on the all-time list of highest-paid athletes. After taking into account the effects of inflation, Curry’s anticipated earnings of $565 million are now worth approximately $655 million.

On the list of the 50 all-time highest-paid athletes that Sportico compiled, Stephen Curry is not the only person with a connection to the Golden State Warriors. Kevin Durant, a former teammate of his who is now a standout player for the Phoenix Suns and who is now sidelined with an injury, is currently ranked 18th on this list with earnings of $710 million, which are equivalent to $850 million when adjusted for inflation.

The National Basketball Association (NBA) is a terrific place to generate money thanks to its generous salary and abundant sponsorship options. This fact is reflected on the Sportico list, which features 13 basketball players among the top 50 highest-paid athletes. On the list are also Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, as well as Michael Jordan at No. 1, LeBron James at No. 6, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal at No. 13 each, Magic Johnson at No. 33, Kevin Garnett at No. 35, Russell Westbrook at No. 42, Dwyane Wade at No. 45, Carmelo Anthony at No. 47, Chris Paul at No. 49, and James Harden at No. 50.

That is a substantially higher representation than any other sport, the sport with the next most players on the list being golf, which only had eight players. After boxing came in third with seven sportsmen, followed by tennis with five players, soccer with four, football with three, baseball with two, NASCAR with two drivers, motoGP with one, and mixed martial arts with one competitor.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Jordan is at the top of the list, with earnings that are adjusted for inflation totaling $3.3 billion; yet, I believe there is a good case to be made that all of these predictions are cautious. Tiger Woods, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Cristiano Ronaldo, James, Lionel Messi, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Roger Federer, and Phil Mickelson round up the top 10 players in the world.

The actual question is, Steph: is it possible for me to secure a loan?
