When Stephen Curry signed a four-year, $44 million extension with the Golden State Warriors back in 2012, most around the NBA questioned the team's decision. As to where Coach K was concerned about Curry's relatively small 6-foot-3 frame holding up, questions arose about his ability to remain healthy. The talent that even an injury-plagued Curry displayed on the court was too appealing for the then downtrodden organization to pass up on. Now, almost five years since signing that extension, Curry is being labeled as one of the top players in the Association. As Curry and the Warriors vie for their second NBA title in three years, the star guard will soon reap the rewards for remaining loyal to his team.
