Entering another season with the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry is set to become the first NBA player in history to earn a $40 million salary in a single season.

Stephen Curry beat other household names such as LeBron James and Kevin Durant, and it comes with no surprise as he is the league's best shooter.

Life Outside the NBA

He recently revealed that it's a "full house" in his home having three children, but that doesn't mean he's not open to the possibility of having more children.

After welcoming his son, Canon, last year, he shares there is no sane day in their home.

"It's a full house! No day is sane. We just try to get it done however you can, but [we were] unbelievably blessed to welcome Canon to the family. He's running around, coming into his own as a little young fella, so I'm enjoying it."

On Having More Children

When asked whether or not he's willing to have more children in the future, he said:

"I guess you can never say we're done, unless you do something to fix that. But right now we are very happy and content with our family."

Now that Steph will be busy trying to claim another championship for the Golden State Warriors, expanding his family is not exactly his top priority. However, when it comes to being present for his wife and kids, that's something that will always be on the top of his list.
