Stephen Curry might be basking in the glow of three NBA Championships and a $200 million contract today, but that wasn’t always the case. In 2012 the Warriors knew he had all the talent in the world, but he was also recovering from multiple sprains and ligament tears in his ankles.

Golden State took advantage and signed the injury-prone star to a four year, $44 million contract extension. Sounds pretty crazy considering the last four years, doesn’t it? Believe it or not, it’s true!
