Stephen Curry is undoubtedly one of the greatest NBA players in history. It would be safe to claim that he has transformed the game on his own. He has garnered a huge following, especially after becoming the NBA’s All-Time leader for three-pointers. He took the throne from Ray Allen back in 2021.
Steph’s milestones on the court have helped him to take huge steps off it as well. The NBA world is aware of Curry’s deal with Under Armour. He is one of the biggest athletes to sign with the brand, alongside Dwayne Johnson and Joel Embiid. Recently, Steph signed a new deal with Under Armour, and it has been making waves on social media.
Did Stephen Curry sign a lifetime contract with Under Armour?
Steph signed with Under Armour back in 2013. The brand landed the young NBA star on a contract worth $4 million per year, as per reports. In 2015, the Golden State Warriors star extended his contract with the brand. Reports claimed at the time that the contract would run out in 2024. Interestingly, Steph signed the deal and bagged equity stakes in the company as well.
Right now, Curry has signed a new contract with the brand, and many have wondered if it could be a lifetime contract. LeBron James is the only NBA player right now to have a lifetime contract. The 4x NBA champ is signed to Nike for the rest of his life, even after retirement. The same is the case with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, who have signed with Nike and Adidas respectively.

If Curry signed a lifetime deal with Under Armour, there is no doubt that he would be in the company of sporting icons. However, the truth is that he hasn’t. The deal is long-term, however, and Steph will be with the brand even after retiring from the NBA as a player.
The exact figures of his new deal have not been disclosed yet, but sources claim that Curry will become the President of the Curry brand. For those who don’t know, Steph has his own signature line with Under Armour, which speaks at length about his impact.
