John Bradberry on $200M for Steph Curry

Steph Curry, point guard for the Golden State Warriors, recently agreed to a five-year, $201 million contract, making him the second-highest paid player in the NBA. According to John Bradberry, Charlotte, NC blogger and founding partner of the internationally-renowned executive consulting firm ReadyFounder Services, Steph Curry’s deal was the direct result of pragmatism, persistence, and patience.

“Steph Curry’s phenomenal four-year deal can be credited not only to his exceptional skill and aggression on the court, but his incredible endurance – not necessarily physical conditioning, but his willingness to wait, and focus on his own game and his own goals,” John Bradberry said. “Everyone can learn a valuable lesson from this story: even though you might not be appreciated for your skills and talent initially, if you concentrate on the long game and make incremental, targeted improvements, your persistence will pay dividends.”

When Curry was selected by the Golden State Warriors in 2009, he signed a four-year, $12 million contract; three years later in 2012, his rate increased to $44 million. Since his rookie year, Curry has twice been named MVP, contributed to two championships, participated in four NBA All-Star games, and was the 2016 scoring champion.

“Personally, I am tremendously inspired by Steph Curry’s long-deserved achievement,” Bradberry continued. “Throughout my career I’ve always stressed the importance of performance/recovery balance, systematically setting achievable goals, and pursuing your end-game committedly and flexibly. Steph Curry’s current status as the second-highest paid player in the NBA embodies this philosophy. I can only hope that my own endeavors – my blog, books, and business – will reach a similarly satisfying result.”
