On May 15, when the Warriors were eliminated, Curry ushered in great news, earning second in sports, officially outperforming James and becoming the most profitable NBA.

At the moment when the Golden State Warriors were eliminated 1:4, everyone felt sorry for Curry. A superstar of his level could have been able to compete for the fifth championship in his career this year. And Curry definitely has this ability, because when he came on the court, the Warriors beat the Timberwolves, and the Warriors lost all the four games he did not play. Injuries are part of the game, but it is a pity that happened to him at the age of 37, because it means that he is one step further away from winning the fifth championship in his career. It is hard to say whether he has a chance in the future.

But at the same time, Curry is not all bad news, and good fortune and misfortune are in harmony, and he is now receiving a good message.

What does this mean? He is the sports star with the most off-field income on the entire list, and is tied with Shohei Otani, who earns $100 million.

No one can make so much money off the market, which means Curry either makes money by investing, or as a shareholder of Under Armour, or advertising and endorsement.

Although he did not win the championship this year, Curry got far more than the championship off the field. This list is the most direct recognition of Curry's position in the NBA.
