5 Biggest NBA Contracts in History So Far

3. Stephen Curry: 5-year, $201 million

Stephen Curry, 2-time MVP

There are a number of different reasons why Stephen Curry is worth every penny of his max contract deal. Having won two NBA championships, two MVP awards as well as an NBA-scoring champion title, he is in the 50-40-90 club - only six other players in history are there.

Having led the NBA in total steals last year, the only accomplishment missing from his illustrious career thus far is winning a finals MVP award. Proving a great role model for young children, some of whom aspire to be as successful as him in future, he never causes trouble off court and spends plenty of hours in the gym perfecting his jump shot.

His stats speak for themselves and this justifies why he deserves such a big contract.
