Steph Curry latest big name in sports world to join Unrivaled as an investor
Steph Curry is the latest big name to join Unrivaled as an investor, the 3-on-3 basketball league announced on Tuesday.
"I am incredibly proud to join the Unrivaled family as the league continues to set a new standard for how women's professional sports should operate — empowering athletes and ensuring they have a real stake in their own success," Curry said in a statement. "Unrivaled is not just innovating the way we play basketball, but also how we value and invest in the athletes who drive the game forward."
Curry's investment was included in Unrivaled's Series A investment round that saw the league secure more than $28 million in funding that adds to the $7 million raised during a seed round, which was announced last May.
Curry joins other current and former athletes and coaches such as Alex Morgan, Carmelo Anthony, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Coco Gauff, Michael Phelps, Dawn Staley and Geno Auriemma.
Unrivaled's inaugural season is now moving into the playoffs with the No. 1 seed Lunar Owls facing the No. 4 Vinyl, while the No. 2 Rose take on the No. 3 Laces on Sunday.
