The real reason Steph Curry left Nike for Under Armour | The Draymond Green Show

- Опубликовано: 15 апр 2022
- Steph Curry’s four-year, $44 million contract is one of the most talked-about contracts in sports history. Steph won 2 MVPs under the contract and it gave the Warriors the cap flexibility to bring in Kevin Durant. But according to Steph, Draymond Green is the first to connect the dots on how that contract was the driving force behind Steph choosing Under Armour over Nike.

“Don’t count someone else’s money” is the best advice
In business you absolutely should. Information asymmtetry is a killer. His agent absolutely should do so.
I wish the media learn that lesson.
@@kame99023 That's a competition which is decided in large part by money. Basketball games aren't decided by money.
💯
Accountants: what.
Most humble superstar of his generation. There's a reason the Spurs and Warriors have been two of the greatest dynasties the last 20 years. Tim Duncan and Steph's humility is a GIGANTIC advantage.
Totally agree
@Fairy Johnson Nah, you're the only sad one.
@Fairy Johnson you a L lmao and everyone who thinks and agrees with you is most definitely a sad individual lmfao.
Giannis too!
@@EatMoreCarbs256 facts! Can’t mention humbleness without the Greek freak.
As Steph’s aging he’s starting to look at least 21 now..
Brother this is hilarious cuz it’s sooo true 😂😂😂
💀💀💀💀😭😭
🤣
No more baby face assassin
O
Just gotta say…Draymond’s podcast just exposes how much fluff, fakery, and mercurial speculation goes into mainstream sports shows in comparison. Way to ask the tough and relevant questions and get the real real from the horse’s mouth. Great stuff bro
Lol most sports are manipulated in a way. It’s all for entertainment
Because ultimately it’s entertainment 🤷♂️
Well, ESPN is for entertainment now. Its clear now
. well said ^
We’ll said. Why watch sport media as much when you got these !!!!
The Under Armor signing is a legacy move for Steph Curry. Nike is the legacy of Micheal Jordan. Whoever signs under Nike will always be over shadowed by Michael Jordan's legacy.
Nobody wears UA except white people from the Midwest; and they’re not wearing basketball shoes
Yes
I mean any athlete selling shoes will be overshadowed
@@greencoolmoss yeah but the Nike contract is the most lifetime lucrative for a franchise player and champion
@@greencoolmoss exactly
So truth is Steph wasn't greedy and that allowed GS to really be where they are.
He is a rare one. i can only imagine how easy it is to be greedy and demand more from your team , but with steph im sure he had way more money than needed to feel secure. sometimes being content goes a long way.
He’s so righteous by taking 44M instead of 200M 😑
@@gunkanjima3408 I mean it’s not that big of a deal. But to have the mind set he did put him in better positions
@@gunkanjima3408 well yea they are NBA players obviously they are making a butt load of cash. Him taking 44 million gave the team more flexibility in cap in order to build a better team.
@@gunkanjima3408 Well yeah, who else in their profession will willingly take a 78% pay cut? Factor in the cost to constantly train and maintain his body, and the cost to heal from and prevent ankle injuries, then it's even clearer that such a sacrifice is nothing to scoff at, least of all from some random nobody on the internet, such as yourself
That was inspirational by Steph. Don’t dwell on the shoulda coulda woulda. You made the decision now your job is to do what you were hired to do. Be confident in your decision and understand if you were meant for more, you will achieve more.

God bless you and God bless anyone reading this! Hope you have an awesome day! Seek him while you can! Jesus is the way and the only way and he is returning soon! Whenever you think you aren't loved... Remember the ultimate sacrifice was for love! ENDING YOUR LIFE IS NEVER THE ANSWER!
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16 KJV
The wages of sin is death (hell) but Jesus paid our debt on the cross, for our salvation! We must turn to God and away from our sinful ways, Confess Jesus is Lord and believe with our hearts that he was risen from the dead by God, and we must be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit and live by His word and Commandments! Trust that God will help with the rest!
Seek God today before it's too late! Today could be your last day on earth!
Have a blessed day!

Dios te bendiga y Dios bendiga a Todos los que estan leyendo esto! Deseo que tengan un hermoso dia! Buscad a Dios mientras pueda ser hallado! Jesus es el camino y el unico camino y regresa pronto! Recuerda cuando te sientas que no eres amado... el mayor sacrificio se hizo por amor! EL SUICIDIO NUNCA ES LA RESPUESTA!
Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo, que ha dado a su Hijo unigénito, para que todo aquel que en él cree, no se pierda, mas tenga vida eterna.
S. Juan 3:16 RVR1960
La paga del pecado es muerte (infierno) pero Cristo pagó nuestra deuda en la cruz para nuestra salvacion! Debemos volvernos a Dios y apartarnos de nuestros caminos pecaminosos, confesar que Jesús es el Señor y creer con nuestro corazón que fue resucitado de entre los muertos por Dios, y debemos de ser bautizados en el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo y vivir por Su palabra y mandamientos! Confia que Dios ayudara con el resto!
Busca a Dios, antes de que sea muy tarde! Hoy podria ser tu ultimo dia en la tierra!
Que tengas un hermoso dia!

He should’ve stayed his shoes now ugly asf😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂
Steph is the reason for the Dubs incredible success with so much more than what he's done on the court. Crazy.
Not even a Green fan but I have a feeling I’m going to like this show.
I'm a Celtics fan here in Boston, but I like watching the warriors play. Watch their highlights and game reply. If I could play and shoot like they do man non mmm
Welcome onboard, we are ready to add you to the fan of the Volume show
Donkey has grown on people it's a thing.
What does that even mean? 😂😂What did he do to you for you to not like him?
@@jayeell1253 warriors fan here and the celtics are one helluva team. robert williams III gotta be one of my favorite players but it sucks that he's injured
Mad props to Dray. Love his podcast. His real life perspectives on the game is a breath of fresh air. No BS just plain straight up facts!
This was a great interview and to hear Steph’s perspective on not dwelling on what could have been. There’s a reason why the fans love Steph- selflessness and humility
Steph is a long term investor
Damn.... as a NBA fan, these are the questions I want answers to... awesome stuff!
Hey Draymond! I hope u see this!
Look at this clip and then remember your first podcast you made.... Just smile brotha. You've come a long way. And I know for sure it's only going to be better!
From: a random fan.
Obviously looking back amazing contract for the warriors. But we do need to remember that steph had struggle with ankle injuries the year prior. So faith was given both ways. Amazing story.
There is a reason why he is so well liked all over the globe! Unlike some self-proclaimed anything; Steph carries himself humble and simple.

Curry - Under Armour
Green - Converse
Klay - Anta
Wiggins - Peak
Most star players in the league just sign a deal with Nike. I think it's so cool how each Warriors all-star has their own shoe deal and custom shoes with their own brand that they want to promote rather than just playing it safe with Nike.
Converse is a Nike Brand
Jp wore a lot of nike especially kyrie
Anta is made with child slave labor from China… but it’s so cool bc an athlete wears it
I remember playing 2k back then and seeing that contract I always thought it was a mistake in the game 😂😂😂
😂😂
Love you Draymond on and off the court. Your podcast show is great! You do a great job keeping the conversations intelligent, easy folks to understand and follow along, and full of in-depth details that we don't normally get elsewhere. Awesome work Draymond!
Dramond kills it with a great MBA level question. Steph took the long term holistic view of how "Steph Curry Inc" could create value for everyone. Not just what he could do for himself which is what so many others do, but his team, the fans and his legacy.
He didn't let the low contract distract him, didn't affect his play or his attitude, didn't ask for a trade, and still led his team with grace and professionalism. I can name 5 stars that would have sat on bench and refused to play with that contract.
James, Harden, Irvin, Leonard, Westbrook would sit so hard on that contract, they give the bench a lapdance.
let's be very clear because people always leave out this fact. Steph was a very talented player that was incredibly injury-prone. He took that deal and ran with it because at THAT TIME, this was the best deal for him. No one knew he would change up his entire training regiment and get a better foundation to prevent injuries to become the player he is today. hindsight is always 20/20
He was never incredibly injury prone lol
He got injured but not injury prone, steph is doing a podcast but b real he more comfortable with dray then a reporter , he just told u why, he’s literally a team player behind scenes, dray didn’t even feel comfortable saying he got paid more at one point, damn that’s crazy. That’s literally like Dennis Rodman getting paid more than Mj
This is a good point. Because I think the year before Steph signed this deal, he missed like 50 games, so, getting that was some good security for him. Now, if he had "bet on himself" and not signed that deal, and got a bigger max (which he absolutely would've gotten), then, Dray is right. No way they can sign KD, probably can't sign Andre, and they probably can't keep both Dray and Klay. It's amazing how things work out in hindsight. Plus, steph has gotten SUPER paid since (and is worth every penny), so everything REALLY worked out for all parties. It's also wild how for that 2009 draft class, how low that extension was, and how it ballooned up after the lockout in 2012.
@@elliemyers6435 you make some great points. I'm sure steph doesn't regret a thing
When he called Tim Grover it all changed
Draymonds interview skills are nice

I was skeptical at first but I like draymonds interviews keep going
I literally subscribed right now keep it up Dray and all the staff involved 🤝🫡
Great interview by Draymond! Steph Curry sure makes it hard to dislike him! 😂
If anyone deserves to be the highest paid player in the league, it’s Steph
nah, Jericho Sims
Lebron. You literally never hear a word from Steph before or after games. LeBron is a 24/7 money maker for the NBA, sports analysts, etc. Even Durant didn’t want to play with Lebron because of the massive media attention that comes with it. Saw TMZ video of Durant and Lebron going out to dinner. Never of Durant and Curry
Doncic
Not LeBron James?
This man is the definition of a gentleman. End of story! Even though my team is Boston (still hurts) this team is definitely the only TEAM in the NBA. They are focus on winning as a team. Not who is scoring or counting money. Ultimately they win and they get what they deserve. That is how it should be for every team. Congrats to y’all. A team with class!
It’s interesting listening to him talk about his 44 mil contract compared to Kyrie trying to get his max extension after playing 30 games.
I've watched curry since '09 and been a dubs fan since '90(sprewell was my first jersey) and I rarely ever see a superstar be so humble and true to themselves like Curry. Alot of athletes change when they enter the league(money, lifestyle, etc.)but curry has remained the same since stepping onto the scene. Even if you're not a warriors' fan it's hard not to appreciate this guy. I have never seen this guy ever act or say anything negative on and off the court.
I was in marketing at Nike World HQ in Beaverton (i was on the team that built "King James" for the 18 year old Lebron!). Steph was correct to turn them down. Nike is not about its athletes anymore it's about the money and that is that. And i got 10 years of examples of why that's true but Steph's instincts got him this far and he comes correct.
Source trust me bro 💀
Just give us one!
@@demigod5742 it's true tho, me and BlondeGirlSez were having an affair at the office during that time when we heard Nike said, "fk lebron, we care more about money!" I was so shocked that I came before I even reach my peak which is about 5 seconds. Sht's crazy I never worked at Nike again
@@demigod5742 I mean it is all about the money, they were talking about getting rid of racism on there campaigns but then bow down to china and the Muslim encampments a holocaust is happening and they just want the factories in china to keep producing. Only enes kanter is keeping it real in the league.
@@demigod5742"bro"? what are you 10?
This is why I will always ride or die for steph, one of the most humble super stars the league has ever seen
When the Curry 1 released, I was at grade 8 and given that we're not that rich and I live here in the Philippines so it's kinda struggling to get a pair of Steph's signature shoe that time. But I really begged my family to buy me one and also tried to earn some savings for it. I ended up with the Curry 1 Father to Son colorway. Man, it's my most favorite sneaker ever worn for basketball as a SG. Too bad it's gone now and I'm in 3rd year college now. If I'll have a chance to buy Curry 1s again, I won't hesitate to buy.
I know they're making retros but it is not available here or I just can't find even online. Hope I could try the Curry flow 8 or 9s tho.
I loved those shoes, bro. The only thing I didn't like about em is that the grip wore down really quickly. But definitely in my top 5 of hooping shoes.
I bought the Curry 1 retro in UA outlet store for 50% off quite shocked because I thought by releasing a retro it'll be gone as soon as they released it and it won't reach outlets.
You should’ve asked for a Bible
@@warriormessiah3134 worst thing to ask for
Great job Draymond!! You’re going to be a TV star after basketball!!!
4:02 - Steph actually answering the question in the title of this video
Great question Draymond! Totally makes sense why he took less money & joined UA.
My favorite player right now for sure! At his level not too many players would have been ok with that contract situation. His perspective is awesome!
Great perspective on the UA deal. You got a new sub.
Draymond got a channel? Awesome.
Love your interviews 👌🏾
We need a Draymond Green podcast on its own
Curry don't be pocket watchin 👍🏾
Since Curry's aware of Nerlens' and Ayton's situation$ and he knew Dray made more money than him, he's doing SOME pocket watching. And that's not a bad thing.
draymond is my favorite person in professional sports. he’s an intellectual person that only cares about getting better at anything he’s going for. he’s also a great loyal team player who is a mix between laimbeer and dennis rodman and better than both. if more guy’s has his attitude in the nba i’d watch, but i hate the nba frankly.
I love Drays attitude and passion as well, and Is all they need alongside klay and steph, great defender, great hustle , but Dennis Rodman is one of the best defenders and rebounders ever, that’s a bold statement, but u entitled
This dude is really really special. Such a healthy mature mindset. Wow
This is why Steph is loved. This right here. He took the bad deal, he didn't wallow, he trusted if he was healthy long term the money would come. He had that perspective at that age. He had money, family security and he was able to ball and play golf all while changing how the game is played... He ain't trying to be a GM, welcomes star team mates with open arms. He's the goat teammate. He'll be remembered as such. Him and Timmy
Yeah but like he said it only paid off because of the situation. Every player taking bad deals will not be a Steph Curry or signing to the Warriors.
Gotta love Steph. He’s the type of personality you want on your championship team.
I am older than Steph but he inspires me. Such a fella, it's almost unreal. "Never count anyone's money". Wow!!!
Thanks dray for clearing this out.
God bless this guy. He is so lovable. We love u man
One of the best hoopin shoes I ever bought were under armor. I bought 3 pairs in different colorways after playing in the first pair for a while. They laced up all the way to near the beginning of my calf if u can believe that, but the ankle support was phenomenal and I had a quick, athletic change of speed game at the time and the shoe was perfect for me.
Love them, so comfortable to wear. I honestly bought mine and my bro coz of curry but was surprised to love the brand more than I thought I would
@@annerikc6361 same here. Under armor has got some slept on hoopers
@@standup3686 UA and New Balances. Screw the big boys like Nike and Adidas lol

@@2qood4lyfe lmao foreal, but it can help a bit i suppose.
Why am I just finding out about this podcast love it
That podcast set up 😮💨😮💨😮💨
This was refreshing… he said what we was all thinking. 44 million is still a lot of money even if he ended up being worth much more to the organization and it all paid off.
I hear people say all the time how sports athletes make too much money but everyone doesn’t realize how much the owners make I don’t blame anyone for getting the most money as they can Steph is a phenomenal player a family man and seems like an overall good person
Word!!!.
Cuz if he made $44m, then the owners of Under Armor/ GS and all these other franchises, are swimming in serious billions !!!.
Yeah I've met a few dumb people who say that, just hit them with the "you get paid for the revenue you bring in" plus it's more than just RuNnInG aNd ThRoWiNg A bAlL
It should also be mentioned that 2 years after signing his $44 million deal, Under Armour gave him a new shoe deal worth $20 million a year. So this was also another reason that Steph wasn't worried about his "low" contract despite being a superstar player.
Draymond is one of the best NBA player podcaster I ever watched ! He ask the best question!
wow one man's selflessness can really go a long way!
If there were a point when Dray made more than Steph... wtf is Pip crying about? This is a perspective post people!
Draymond green and JJ are my new favourite NBA interviewer / analysts
Steph talking about Under armor reminds me a lot of Cars with Lightning McQueen and Rust-eze 😂
Draymond is in tune with everything that is going on in the league. This is a part of what makes him one of the most intelligent players on the Warriors and in the entire NBA.
11 million a year? I would have cried if I have 1 Mil a year.
Everything is relative…
well u r not steph curry r u ?
@@sensational6111 well he indeed was thinking in our perspective, wasn't he? Don't get me wrong. I love Steph, not hating. He definitely deserved more for his value but he was smart and knew very well that 11 Million is more than enough to live and support his family, while allowing GSW to have more room to get more capable players to help him. He still gets his money from UA. It's a win win.
at that time, thats what he deserved. He could have signed a one year deal if he wanted.
@@ka1Zhi He was offered a contract and took it, the warriors owe him nothing after that. He chose to sign it because he didnt have the value he has now. It wasnt a bad contract for Curry, he should not have signed it if he knew he would have a breakout year, just sign a one year deal and then get the giant contract, that contract gave him security if something bad happened like another serious injury.
Draymond is a very thoughtful interviewer
Draymond you're great at this.
Steph answer and thought process is what occurs when you have 2 healthy stable parents and steph actually being observant by being around his dad workplace.
Idk how to tell you this but my brother in Christ, sonya cheated on Dell

@@nunyabusiness1406 talking about stability...word
Steph changed the shoe game, look at how level the playing field is now. Of course there is still the juggernauts, but it isn't the monopoly it was.
His shoes are lowkey ugly tho
@@josenunez611 so are a ton of hoop shoes. Thats the thing though, kids are actually buying hoop shoes to hoop now not just to look good. They all feel they have a chance if they can make a jumper you get me?
Nike sells $30 billion in sneakers per year. UA sells $1 Bil. In between: Adidas $13B, Asic $3B, Puma $3B .
Steph always as real and true as he is genuinely! He was so smart at such young age! And, trusting yourself and betting on yourself when you’re young is worth everything in life given the opportunity! If you lose, that’s a good experience and you can start again because you still have time. Always love Steph and go Warriors. You did good, Dray!
This guy was raised well...always liked him...kudos to him for having perspective...great human being...
Draymond is an insightful interviewer. He asks interesting questions, he doesn’t interrupt his guests, presents revealing hypotheticals, etc.
The part of not interrupting his guests that's very very good and professional
2 of the most smartest NBA players just chatting. Best podcast 💪😁😊
I love the set up with the Championships at the back.
I love the slight dagger at Deandre Ayton !
Steph basically did for Under Armour what MJ did for Nike…
Nike would've been dead long ago if not for Mike...
Nike sells $30 Billion worth of sneakers every year, thanks to MJ. UA sells about $1 Billion. It's still good for Steph, he's estimated to pull in $200 mil from them over the life of his contract.
Cap
The fact that you used the word "cap" is evidence that you are either super young or CLUELESS about how no one was rocking Nike like that until MJ. Stay out of grown folks business, son.
Turning up “The Volume” from today onward.
How could you dislike this guy draymond……the man makes power moves during a million dollar contract🙏🏽
Congrats dray! From the Philippines👏
And for this reason God has highly exalted him and given him a jump shot thats above every jump shot…that at the name of Wardell Stephen Curry every basketball fan must bow..
Steph is just such a good man.
Thanks!
Mad Love young Brothers✊🏽
Quite insightful questions, I would assume that the move to Under Armour allowed Steph to increase his off the court revenue in comparison to Nike.
From my understanding back when it happened, apart of the deal was Curry got a good percentage of the company’s overall revenue for life. Not quite Lebron level, but…wow. I’m sure Steph feeding 50 families for life just off that
@@ronscott9546 I am not sure if LeBron has equity on nike
@@futurehofer1564 he doesn’t.
@@futurehofer1564 he has a lifetime deal with them
Is it me, or does anybody else think that Draymond should consider becoming a Sports Agent when he is done playing?
Nah, Analysts.
What a great perspective on the business side of the sport. The money can still come in its time.
Like This!
Real conversation!
I thought the real reason was that Nike messed up his name during negotiations and he signed with under armor out of spite. That's what I have read many times from different sources.
Both things can be true
This is a great perspective. Yes Curry was definitely worth more. But there is no question that staying with the Warriors with that team enhanced his brand immensely and gave him more leverage negotiating with Under Armour and other brands. Lose the battle but win the war
Great Question .
Humility equals more blessings from above. More chips as well. Money for Steph is second only to his passion and love for the game. That's why your fans love you. So grounded and humble for a superstar🤩🤩🤩
Under Armour should give Curry's shoes their own logo, it would be for the best
They do it’s called the curry brand
@@Boogievlogss Really? I thought Curry's were still sporting the UA Logo front and center, like I don't think the UA should be on there at all, I feel the same way about Kawhi's shoes, and really any player thats taking a risk with a shoe brand
@@Tony-fq5bn the logo brand u're looking for is on Steph's cap 🧢
@@harbeyygonz7445 Ya I remember that one now, its the major logo on his latest shoe as well although the UA is still a small accent. I woulda gone with a non letter logo, but I don't think Curry's shooting form is quite as iconic as Jordan's dunk form, the SC does remind me of Sportcenter tho
It wasn’t until after his second championship where Curry got his own signature brand and take things his way. Prior to that, it was only “SC30” on a very small batch of basketball items. UA has even allowed the Curry brand to fully collab with his charity foundation and youth basketball camps.
Steph is a genuine dude. He aint gonna bullshit you.
Dray's just getting started and he's already one of the best NBA commentators around.
I just watched this podcast episode while hooping. Then I open up RUclips and this the first thing that pops up. So I click on it and a minute In I realized I just heard this 😂
I once read that Nike said Steve Curry and he made his decision right there 😭
