Ex-Warriors GM's Steph Curry Story Shows Why He's the Perfect Superstar

Bob Myers' Untold Steph Curry Story

In a recent appearance on The Tom Tolbert Show, Myers spoke on Curry's nature as a human being and how he handled contracts.

“The last point I’ll make on Steph is this: I spoke to a college team a few weeks ago, and a lot of these college kids are making money now, right?” Myers shared, referring to college players’ NIL rights under NCAA rules.

“So, if you and I were in college together at Arizona — and you’re making $400,000 while I’m making $200,000 — but everybody knows I’m better than you, I might have a problem with that. I might say to a few people, ‘What’s the deal with Tolbert making twice as much as me? I’m starting, and he’s coming off the bench," he continued. “I tell that story and say, ‘That’s human nature.'”

Myers went on to elaborate that when Curry signed an extension for $11 million a year for four years, he never compalined once.

“When Steph Curry signed his extension for $11 million a year for four years — and everybody said that was one of the biggest underpays — I told the team, ‘Guess how many times Steph Curry brought up his contract publicly or privately in four years to this day, Tom?'” Myers said.
“This many times: zero."

The Perfect Superstar

There's a reason why Steph Curry is as successful as he's been and why so many players want to play with him. He has no ego, he has no complaints, and he does whatever it takes to win. It inspires his teammates to want to win for him, and it's why Jimmy Butler recently stated that he wants to win a championship so that Curry can receive his fifth.

Curry's selflessness is something that only people who have actually worked with him can understand. Myers' firsthand experience with Curry is the perfect example of why the Golden State Warriors guard is the perfect superstar.
