Kevin Durant and Steph Curry advocate for player equity rule change in NBA
Summary

Kevin Durant and Steph Curry are pushing for a change in NBA rules that would allow players to have equity in the teams they play for. Currently, the NBA's Collective Bargaining Agreement prohibits active players from holding direct equity stakes to avoid conflicts of interest. This topic gained attention after both players discussed the financial impact they’ve had on franchises, particularly the Golden State Warriors, which has seen its value soar from $450 million in 2010 to $11 billion today. Durant voiced his support for Curry’s view that star players should benefit directly from the revenue they help generate, despite potential complications regarding player trades and locker room dynamics.
