2009

Stephen Curry may be one of the most well-known players of this decade in the NBA.

The seventh overall pick has racked up many awards over the years and has worked his way up to being the highest-paid player in the NBA. For the 2019-2020 season, Curry brought in a whopping $40,231,758.

The Warriors have made sure to keep Curry around, as he as been a major asset to this organization in the past decade. His stats are impressive enough, as he has averaged 23.5 points per game in his carer.

At the height of his career in the 2015-2016 season, Curry averaged an astounding 30.1 points per game. Part of his amazing stats are due to the fact that he shoots with a 90.6% accuracy from the field.

In his eleven seasons with the Warriors, Curry has helped lead them to the playoffs in seven of those seasons and has clinched the NBA championship three times out of those seven.

Curry has also tallied some impressive awards, including the back-to-back NBA MVP for the 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 seasons. He has also appeared in the All-Star game six times so far in his career. He holds seven All-League honors, including 2009-2010 All-Rookie in his debut season.
