In a move that has sent shockwaves throughout the NBA and sports world at large, Stephen Curry, the legendary point guard of the Golden State Warriors, has officially signed a 4-year deal worth $509 million with the New York Knicks, making it the largest contract in NBA history.

The Knicks, long starved for championship glory and a true franchise player, have now landed the face of modern basketball. Curry, a two-time MVP, four-time NBA champion, and widely regarded as the greatest shooter in league history, leaves Golden State after 16 seasons to take on a new challenge at Madison Square Garden.

A New Era Begins in New York

The Knicks, coming off a promising 2024–25 season under head coach Tom Thibodeau, had been rumored to be pursuing a major superstar to pair with their young core. Few imagined they could actually pull off what many are calling the most surprising free agency signing of the decade.

“I’ve always loved the energy of New York. The fans, the city, the history — it felt like the right time to write a new chapter,” Curry said at Monday morning’s press conference at MSG, where he was introduced in a blue and orange jersey bearing the number 30.

The Richest Deal in NBA History

The 4-year, $509 million deal includes:

A player option in Year 4

A full no-trade clause

Revenue-sharing rights for Curry’s media ventures in NYC

Ownership stake discussions in the Knicks’ G-League affiliate

With this signing, Curry becomes the first NBA player to eclipse the $500 million mark on a single contract, surpassing previous records held by Nikola Jokić and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Leaving the Bay

Curry leaves behind a dynasty in Golden State — one he built alongside Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and head coach Steve Kerr. His departure marks the end of an era for the Warriors and the beginning of a bold, uncharted path in New York.

The Warriors issued a heartfelt statement, saying:

> “Stephen will forever be a Warrior. His legacy in the Bay Area is eternal, and we thank him for 16 years of leadership, championships, and memories.”What’s Next for the Knicks?

Pairing Curry with All-Star forward Julius Randle and rising star Jalen Brunson instantly launches the Knicks into title contender status. Madison Square Garden, already one of the most electric arenas in sports, is now the home of one of basketball’s greatest icons.

League analysts are already predicting the Knicks will be favorites

in the Eastern Conference for the 2025–26 season.
