Stephen Curry remains an extremely popular NBA star. As such, speculation sparked on social media when he removed the “Guard for the Warriors” inscription from his Instagram profile. He replaced it with “Olympic Gold Medalist.” As a result, fans and analysts wondered if it was a message about his future with the Golden State Warriors.
However, Stephen Curry has come to debunk any rumor and speculation as to why that happened. The Golden State Warriors superstar was enjoying golf when he gave an interview in between. In the interview with Bloomberg’s Emily Chang, the Olympic gold medal winner explained the reason for the Instagram bio change.
I was just proud to be an Olympian.Steph Curry said to Bloomberg’s Emily Chang:
Curry’s Instagram bio change coincided with his agreement to a one-year, $62.6 million contract extension with the Warriors. The new deal will keep him with the franchise through the 2026-27 season. This deal now puts every rumor of his exit to bed. It confirms his status as a one-man team member and his loyalty to the Dubs.
He played a crucial role in Team USA’s gold medal win. Curry ended his Olympics campaign with 14.8 points per game and hit 17 three-pointers in the semifinals and title game. His attention would now be drawn to the Warriors as he aims to lead them to his fifth NBA title.
Stephen Curry joins elite company with $500 million in career earnings
Steph Curry has thrown the NBA world into a frenzy with his latest contract with the Dubs. This will effectively keep him with the franchise through the 2026-27 season. As a result, the deal brings his career earnings to over $500 million. He is the third player to achieve this milestone, behind LeBron James and Kevin Durant.
Undoubtedly, his impressive career statistics and accolades, including four NBA Championships, 10 All-Star nods, and two regular-season MVPs, justify his lucrative contract. He has been instrumental in the Warriors’ success over the last ten years. Curry will aim to win another title with the Warriors. However, it will not be easy this time.
The Warriors will rely heavily on him in upcoming seasons, particularly after losing Klay Thompson. With the Western Conference improving and getting more hotly contested, Golden State faces a challenging battle to stay in the playoff race. As such, his teammates need to step up to blend well with Curry in the upcoming season.
