Stephen Curry’s Warriors extension brings him closer to Kobe Bryant territory

Writer Nick San Miguel argues that Stephen Curry's contract extension with the Golden State Warriors mirrors the final years of Kobe Bryant's career with the Los Angeles Lakers. Curry signed a team-friendly two-year extension featuring a player option for the second season, likely securing his status as a lifelong Warrior.

San Miguel suggests Golden State risks fading from championship contention much like the Lakers did late in Bryant's tenure. With the roster heavily relying on older, injury-prone players like Kristaps Porzingis, the author notes Curry appears content remaining loyal regardless of future title prospects.
