Golden State Warriors star guard Stephen Curry is projected to bring in the most money among NBA players this season from his salary and off-court endeavors, Sportico reported Tuesday.

Curry, the league’s all-time leader in the 3-pointers, is expected to make roughly $155.8 million, per the report. That would top the $133.7 million that Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is supposed to earn.

No player had earned more money than James in each of the past 11 seasons, per Sportico. Kobe Bryant was the last player to finish above James, back in 2012-13.

Among the companies Curry endorses are JPMorgan Chase, Panini and Fanatics. Curry has also founded a media business and venture capital firm to add to his bankroll.

The Phoenix Suns’ Kevin Durant ($97.9 million) is on track to be the fourth-highest earner during the 2024-25 campaign, and he is sandwiched between Milwaukee Bucks stars Giannis Antetokounmpo (the third-highest earner at $103.8 million) and Damian Lillard (fifth highest at $66.8 million).

The top 15 players in the NBA are projected to combine for $1.13 billion in salaries and endorsement deals, a rise of 11 percent from the prior season, according to Sportico.
