Steph Curry and the Warriors made history Tuesday afternoon.

Curry has agreed to a four-year contract extension with Golden State worth $215 million, his agency has confirmed to NBC Sports Bay Area's Monte Poole.

Curry now is under contract with the Warriors through the 2025-26 season, when he will turn 38 years old.

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski first reported the news and explained its historic significance.

Two-time MVP Steph Curry has agreed on a four-year, $215M contract extension with the Golden State Warriors, making him the first player in history to sign two career $200 million-plus deals, his agent Jeff Austin of @OctagonBsktball tells ESPN.

The two-time NBA MVP has made it crystal clear he wants to spend his entire NBA career with the Warriors, who selected him No. 7 overall in 2009.

This new deal goes a long way to making that a reality.

Curry finished third in the MVP voting last season after averaging 37.1 points, 5.2 assists and 5.5 rebounds over his final 21 games.

The three-time NBA champion over that span shot 49.2 percent overall and 44.3 percent from deep (on 15.1 attempts).

Today is a monumental day for Curry and the Warriors organization.
