The marvelous life of the greatest basketball player in the world


You could argue no athlete has it better than StephenCurry right now.
Curry won MVP last year, led the Golden State Warriors to a title, and is now the clear favorite to repeat as MVP this year while his Warriors are the best team in the NBA once again.

And perhaps no athlete has a better off-court life than Curry. From becoming the face of Under Armour and numerous other endorsements, to his friendship with Cam Newton, to his increasing profile as a celebrity, Curry has it made.

Here's a look at his marvelous life.

Stephen Curry is, surprisingly, underpaid. He signed a four-year, $44 million contract extension in 2012 and now makes $12 million per year. He could triple that when he becomes a free agent in 2017.

Curry's deal with Under Armour is also a bit of a steal for the company. They lured him from Nike with a deal reportedly worth about $4.5 million per year. In 2015, they extended his deal to 2024 and he now has an ownership stake in the company.

Curry's shoe, The Curry One, reportedly helped drive Under Armour past Adidas in shoe sales.

And he has tons of other endorsements, too. Curry has starred in commercials for the iPhone 6, State Farm, and Degree, among others.

As a brand ambassador for Express menswear, he gets to hang out with Ludacris.

Curry was doing endorsements from an early age. He starred in a Burger King commercial when he was a kid with his dad, former NBA player Dell Curry.

And since his father was an NBA player, Steph grew up playing, practicing, and hanging around other NBA players. Here he is warming up on an NBA court as kid with his father.

Now the best player in the NBA, Curry is reaping the rewards. Besides winning MVP last year, he won the ESPY's Male Athlete of the Year.

 His jaw-dropping highlights leave other professional athletes in shock. His postseason performance in 2015 had pro athletes flooding Twitter with praise.
