Stephen Curry buys house in Orlando area

Steph Curry remade the NBA in his image. We doubt he’ll have the same effect on one of the tonier sections of well-heeled Winter Park. The Golden State Warriors star just bought a home on brick-lined Edwin Boulevard, paying $2.1 million for the four-bed, three-bath home.

More on this storyline

 

Some wondered if perhaps the reason behind the purchase was to establish residency in Florida to save on taxes — or if he planned to play for the Orlando Magic in the future. However, the home was purchased for a family member, multiple real estate sources told Orlando Business Journal. -via Business News / July 22, 2022
Before his $500,000 fine for describing the NBA’s current luxury tax system as “incredibly penal” and “very unfair” on the Point Forward Podcast hosted by Andre Iguodala and Evan Turner, Warriors owner Joe Lacob made the argument directly to fellow team owners at the recent Board of Governors session during summer league in Las Vegas that tax penalties should be reduced when teams re-sign players they drafted, league sources say. Three of Golden State’s four highest-paid players (Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green) are Warriors draftees who have only played for one team. Because of the “repeater tax,” Golden State was charged $170 million in luxury tax alone last season and thus spent more than $340 million in salary and tax in winning the club’s fourth championship in eight seasons. Boston, beaten by the Warriors in six games in the NBA Finals, spent nearly $140 million in salary and tax in 2021-22. -via marcstein.substack.com / July 22, 2022
The ESPY Awards returned to its normal format and night for the first time in three years, but viewership fell well short of that 2019 edition. Wednesday’s ESPY Awards averaged a 1.5 rating and just shy of 2.5 million viewers on ABC, down 42% in ratings and 35% in viewership from 2019, the previous year the event was held in its normal format and on its usual night — the off-day after the MLB All-Star Game (2.6, 3.87M). -via Sports Media Watch / July 22, 2022
