They ar none other than LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry. However, it is Curry who has been making headlines lately for his recent photo shoot with SLAM Magazine.

Curry recently promoted his “Curry Brand” shoes in a photo shoot with SLAM. The magazine featured three pairs of shoes: the Curry 12 “What The Bay,” the SLAM x Curry 12, and the SLAM x Curry Spawn FloTro. However, fans were not happy with the new colors that were released via the magazine and made it known via social media.

As for his brand, within the Under Armour umbrella, the Golden State Warriors player serves as the President of Curry Brand, his own company. He signed a new lifetime contract with the corporation in 2023, which includes this. After four rings and almost 4,000 three-pointers, Curry has solidified his elite status. He is one of the most influential players in the league’s history as well as his generation.
