Kevin Durant thinks Stephen Curry has made an extraordinary contribution to the Golden State Warriors. Not just in terms of scoring points or collecting titles, but more than that. Curry’s massive influence made Durant think that Curry deserved to be given ownership of Warriors shares as an appropriate form of appreciation.
In the latest episode of Boardroom Talks, Durant highlighted the impact Curry’s presence has had on the Warriors’ success. Curry not only brought glory on the court, but also increased the Warriors’ business value and popularity globally. According to Durant, the Warriors’ surge in value and popularity began when Curry developed into one of the most iconic players. His legendary three-point ability revolutionized the NBA game.
“The Golden State Warriors have been the highest-valued team in sports since 2015, the year Stephen Curry began to become an iconic player,” explained Durant. Most of the revenue comes from people wanting to watch him play, buying jerseys and filling arenas, driving revenue in the Bay Area region.
Curry, who entered as the seventh pick of the 2009 NBA Draft out of Davidson College, did not immediately step into the NBA spotlight due to injuries early in his career. His explosion didn’t come until his fourth season, bringing his first title in 2015. The Warriors dominated the NBA in the following years. Under Steve Kerr, they won four titles in eight seasons, five consecutive NBA Finals, and were the last team to win back-to-back NBA titles.
The Warriors’ value has skyrocketed since Joe Lacob and Peter Guber took over the franchise in 2010 for US$450 million. Now, Warriors are estimated to be worth between 10.8 and 11.3 billion US Dollars, making it one of the largest markets.
Four NBA titles, two MVP awards, and numerous three-point records have established Curry as one of the greatest players in Warriors history, as well as an icon closely tied to the franchise’s identity. Because of this, Durant feels Curry deserves a share of ownership of the Warriors. “His last name is so valuable to the franchise that he should get it as a gift at this point,” Durant stressed.
With such a long contribution, Curry, who is expected to spend his entire career with the Warriors, deserves the award. According to Durant, the idea of share ownership is an appropriate form of appreciation for someone who has changed and added value to the franchise.
