The Golden State Warriors have been one of the best teams of the past decade. They have won 4 championships in 8 years and are still in the championship window. This has led to their value as an organization skyrocketing over time to $8.2 billion. Fans think Stephen Curry is the reason behind creating the dynasty that has contributed to this growth.
Curry was selected as the 7th overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft. At that time, the Warriors were valued at $315 million. Fifteen years with Curry leading the way, the Warriors’ valuation has reached $8.2 billion as per Sportico.

What is surprising is that the Warriors are valued higher than perennial top-value franchises, the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers. Now, the Warriors are the second most valuable sports franchise in the world. That is some lofty heights for a team that not many fans cared for before the Stephen Curry era.

And not to mention the contributions of Draymond Green and Klay Thompson to the whole dynasty.
But fans are adamant that without Curry, all of this does not bring about the success that the Warriors have enjoyed. As soon as the news came on the internet fans were quick to provide their inputs on the Warriors’ valuation. Some examples are;
