Steph Curry

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry won a woke NBA award this week for &#8220;uplifting communities by fostering equity and creating access to opportunity&#8221; despite his efforts to block a low-income housing community from being built near his mansion.
The NBA <a href="https://www.nba.com/news/stephen-curry-2022-23-kareem-abdul-jabbar-social-justice-champion-award" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> in a statement that Curry won the 2022-23 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Social Justice Champion award after being selected from a group of five finalists.
The statement said that he uses his platform as a co-chair of former First Lady Michelle Obama’s “When We All Vote” initiative to drive voter registration, education, and turnout in elections.
Over the last year, Curry also participated in the NBA&#8217;s National Basketball Social Justice Coalition’s “Freedom to Vote” social media campaign, met with President Joe Biden about social justice, graduated from Davidson College after writing his thesis on gender equity in sports, worked with the non-profit that he started with his wife to &#8220;overcome the systemic socio-economic barriers facing underserved communities.&#8221;
“As an athlete, I consistently leverage my platform to amplify advocacy and address the pervasive issue of systemic racism,&#8221; Curry said in a statement. &#8220;I firmly believe that we must be vocal both on social media and in real life, taking tangible actions to effect real change in our society and for generations to come.”
Curry winning the award and his subsequent statement come <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/wealth-gap-advocate-stephen-curry-has-major-concerns-about-low-income-housing-next-to-his-mansion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">despite his efforts</a> earlier this year to block a low-income multifamily housing development from being built near his $30 million Bay Area mansion.
There are reportedly plans to develop 16 townhouses on a 1.5-acre plot of land near Curry’s home, leading the family to say in a letter that they had “major concerns in terms of both privacy and safety with three-story townhomes looming directly behind us,” according to The Almanac, a local newspaper.
“As Atherton residents … we have been following along with the housing element updates with special interest in the 23 Oakwood property,” the Currys wrote in a letter to the town. “We hesitate to add to the ‘not in our backyard’ (literally) rhetoric, but we wanted to send a note before today’s meeting. Safety and privacy for us and our kids continues to be our top priority and one of the biggest reasons we chose Atherton as home.”
Curry reportedly demanded that the town build taller fencing to protect his property and add more landscaping to protect his privacy.
“We kindly ask that the town adopts the new housing element without the inclusion of 23 Oakwood,” the Currys wrote. “Should that not be sufficient for the state, we ask that the town commits to investing in considerably taller fencing and landscaping to block sight lines onto our family’s property.”
The nearly 18,000 square-foot mansion sits on a 2-acre estate that is located in one of the most expensive zip codes in the U.S. in Atherton, California, according to Front Office Sports. The seven-bedroom home has nine bathrooms, a movie theater, a full bar, a wine cellar, a pool, and a sundeck.

Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Golden State Warriors 122-101 to win game 6 of a Western Conference Semifinals NBA playoff basketball game at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

U.S.

A class-action <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/lawsuit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lawsuit</a> blamed several celebrities for exposing members of the public to the implosion of <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/cryptocurrency" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cryptocurrency</a> exchange FTX, which plaintiffs characterized as a “Ponzi scheme.”
The company filed for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/30-year-old-billionaire-loses-entire-fortune-overnight-as-his-bahamas-based-cryptocurrency-empire-implodes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bankruptcy</a> on Friday after customers discovered that firms controlled by Sam Bankman-Fried and his associates were allegedly fraudulently intertwined, causing a liquidity crisis as users rushed to withdraw funds. The <a href="https://htv-prod-media.s3.amazonaws.com/files/ftx-lawsuit-1-main-1668613943.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lawsuit</a>, filed on Tuesday in the Southern District of Florida on behalf of investor Edwin Garrison and others affected by the company’s sudden failure, named as defendants former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried and celebrity ambassadors who allegedly participated in the “fraudulent scheme” against unsophisticated investors.
The lawsuit argued that the brand ambassadors, many of whom received equity stakes in the company, neglected to perform “any due diligence” before marketing FTX to the public, adding that their failure to disclose “the nature, scope, and amount of compensation they personally received” in exchange for promoting FTX constitutes “a violation of the anti-touting provisions of the federal securities laws.”
Among the defendants listed were Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady and supermodel ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, who appeared in an advertisement for the company and held equity stakes. The lawsuit also noted that celebrity investor Kevin O’Leary assured the public that FTX was a reliable entity as recently as last month.
Other celebrities listed in the lawsuit include Golden State Warriors point guard Steph Curry, retired baseball player David Ortiz, basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal, comedian Larry David, and Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
The lawsuit, citing “misrepresentations and omissions made and broadcast around the country through the television and internet” by the defendants, claimed that the celebrities were responsible for the “many billions of dollars” lost by the plaintiffs. A number of individual users and institutional clients still have as much as $8 billion remaining with the company, which Bankman-Fried has reportedly attempted to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/former-crypto-billionaire-sam-bankman-fried-whose-entire-fortune-just-went-to-zero-is-calling-around-for-new-investors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">solicit from investors</a> with little success.
Bankman-Fried, whose $15 billion net worth evaporated along with the collapsed company, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/we-got-overconfident-and-careless-sam-bankman-fried-reveals-what-went-wrong-with-ftx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">commented</a> via social media that his present goal is to “do right by customers” before shifting his focus to investors. Referencing his coverage from the media as a cryptocurrency wunderkind, some of which <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-york-times-runs-puff-piece-about-disgraced-billionaire-sam-bankman-fried-leaves-out-connections-to-democrats" target="_blank" rel="noopener">continued</a> even after his company declared bankruptcy, Bankman-Fried asserted that his team was once “held as paragons of running an effective company.” Nevertheless, features “on the cover of every magazine” and attention as the “darling” of Silicon Valley caused him to grow “overconfident and careless.”
The young entrepreneur and his associates are presently under supervision by police in the Bahamas, where his company is headquartered, since they reportedly considered fleeing the country for Dubai, according to a <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/sam-bankman-fried-is-under-supervision-in-bahamas-looking-to-flee-to-dubai" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from Cointelegraph. Bahamian and American officials are <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bahamas-may-ship-disgraced-crypto-ceo-sam-bankman-fried-back-to-the-united-states" target="_blank" rel="noopener">working</a> to transport Bankman-Fried out of the island nation as regulators seek to address the crisis. Members of the House Financial Services Committee will hold hearings on the situation next month, during which they plan to hear from Bankman-Fried and other executives involved in related entities, including competitor Binance, which nearly purchased FTX.
Bankman-Fried <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/here-are-the-democrats-and-republicans-who-received-campaign-cash-linked-to-bankrupt-crypto-empire-ftx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">donated</a> $39 million during the recent midterm election cycle on behalf of Democratic candidates and organizations, according to <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/outside-spending/top_donors/2022?disp=D&amp;type=V&amp;superonly=N" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> from Open Secrets, which listed him as the nation’s sixth-largest individual midterm donor. FTX Co-CEO Ryan Salame donated heavily to right-leaning organizations, according to more <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/outside-spending/donor_detail/2022?id=U0000004758&amp;type=I&amp;super_only=N&amp;name=Salame%2C+Ryan+D.+%26+Susan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> from Open Secrets.

A host of celebrities stand to lose massive stakes in <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/cryptocurrency" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cryptocurrency</a> platform FTX after the company suddenly went under last week.
FTX filed for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/30-year-old-billionaire-loses-entire-fortune-overnight-as-his-bahamas-based-cryptocurrency-empire-implodes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bankruptcy</a> on Friday after users discovered that firms controlled by Sam Bankman-Fried, the 30-year-old founder of FTX, were likely fraudulently intertwined. The entrepreneur went from maintaining a $15.6 billion net worth to having “no material wealth” virtually overnight, according to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-11/bankman-fried-s-effective-altruism-implodes-with-his-fortunes#:~:text=The%20Bloomberg%20Billionaires%20Index%2C%20which,to%20have%20no%20material%20wealth." target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> from the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Among other aggressive marketing efforts, FTX had solicited a number of professional athletes to participate in advertisements featuring the exchange platform. Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady and supermodel Gisele Bündchen, who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tom-brady-confirms-divorce-from-wife-gisele-bundchen-after-13-years-of-marriage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">divorced</a> last month, were once <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uymLJoKFlW8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">brand ambassadors</a> with the company and held equity stakes, according to a <a href="https://blog.ftx.com/blog/mid_year_review_2021/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from FTX.
Golden State Warriors player Steph Curry was also made an ambassador for the company and given shares, according to a <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/tom-brady-steph-curry-and-kevin-oleary-set-to-lose-big-from-ftx-bankruptcy-filing-11668205535?mod=banking" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from MarketWatch. Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence agreed to a multi-year sponsorship contract with FTX in which he would receive cryptocurrency as part of his signing bonus. The company also signed deals to become the “official cryptocurrency exchange partner” of Major League Baseball and paid to call the Miami Heat’s home court the FTX Arena until at least 2040.
Blockfolio, a subsidiary of FTX, became a sponsor of Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy’s retail investing show Davey Daytrader Global. According to Portnoy, the company was their “biggest client ever.” Influencer and athlete Logan Paul partnered with FTX ahead of his fight with Floyd Mayweather, while comedian Larry David appeared in a Super Bowl <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BH5-rSxilxo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">commercial</a> for FTX earlier this year.
Los Angeles Angels pitcher and outfielder Shohei Ohtani became a global ambassador for the company at the end of last year and received “all of his compensation in equity and cryptocurrencies,” according to a <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/mlb-superstar-shohei-ohtani-joins-ftx-as-global-ambassador-through-long-term-partnership-301425911.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press release</a>. Other ambassadors included basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal, celebrity investor Kevin O’Leary, retired baseball player David Ortiz, and tennis star Naomi Osaka, according to a <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-celebrities-including-tom-brady-tied-to-ftx-see-the-list-11668109684" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from The Wall Street Journal.
Account holders reportedly had difficulty removing their assets from FTX after the company filed for bankruptcy. It is not clear whether the celebrities paid in cryptocurrency continued to manage the digital coins in FTX accounts.
At least some celebrities and investors, however, were wise enough to avoid FTX and Bankman-Fried. As revealed in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/he-set-off-my-bs-detector-musk-wanted-nothing-to-do-with-now-bankrupt-crypto-billionaire-who-wanted-a-piece-of-twitter-buyout" target="_blank" rel="noopener">messages</a> between Elon Musk and investment banker Michael Grimes, the purported wunderkind had expressed interest in joining the world’s richest man as he acquired social media company Twitter, through both a multibillion-dollar stake and assistance with engineering a blockchain component for the platform.
When approached by Grimes about the potential partnership, Musk said that he was “backlogged with a mountain of critical work matters” and observed that supporting Twitter via blockchain would be “impossible,” since the bandwidth requirements would demand an “absolutely gigantic” peer-to-peer network that would defeat the purpose of decentralization. After Grimes said that Bankman-Fried would still be interested in Musk’s vision for Twitter purely from an investment standpoint, the world’s richest man agreed to speak with him later as long as he did not “have to have a laborious blockchain debate.”
Once the cryptocurrency exchange fizzled, Musk <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1591224814597189633" target="_blank" rel="noopener">confirmed</a> on social media that he had never trusted Bankman-Fried. “He set off my bs detector,” Musk said, “which is why I did not think he had” $3 billion.
Bankman-Fried, a self-proclaimed “effective altruist,” contributed nearly $39 million to support Democrats in the recent midterm elections, which occurred days before his company imploded, according to <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/outside-spending/top_donors/2022?disp=D&amp;type=V&amp;superonly=N" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> from Open Secrets. He had been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/billionaire-ftx-founder-who-lost-entire-fortune-gave-massive-sum-to-democrats-before-empire-collapsed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">preparing</a> to spend as much as $1 billion during the 2024 election cycle to keep the Democratic Party in control of the White House.

From Brady To Shaq, Here Are The Celebrities Who Lost Big On The FTX Implosion

Celebrities Will Lose Big From FTX Implosion

Dave Portnoy

Sonya Curry, mother of Golden State Warriors star Stephen “Steph” Curry, has opened up about getting an abortion, and then rejecting an abortion following another unplanned pregnancy.
Sonya wrote in her book, “Fierce Love: A Memoir of Family, Faith, and Purpose,” that she considered aborting son Stephen, whose father is former NBA player Dell Curry, and recalls standing outside a Planned Parenthood before God intervened.
&#8220;God had a plan for that child,” the mother recently <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CdEOUjrJUVJ/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=6556134e-506f-41e2-9d1f-6eead8fe0045">said</a>.
Sonya had an abortion in high school, before she became pregnant with Stephen. &#8220;Telling those stories and just reliving those feelings that I kind of suppressed and pushed down for a long time &#8230; you wonder did it mess them up at some point?&#8221; the mother <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/stephen-curry-mom-sonya-curry-considered-abortion-183458526.html">disclosed</a> to podcast host Jemele Hill.
When Sonya became pregnant for a second time, she considered abortion, but eventually knew she couldn&#8217;t go through with it.
“There could be no Stephen. If I would have gone through that there would have been no Wardell Stephen Curry II, and ya know, God had a plan for that child,” she <a href="https://www.liveaction.org/news/nba-stephen-currys-almost-aborted-him/">told</a> pastor and host Luke Norsworthy in a separate podcast, <a href="https://www.liveaction.org/news/nba-stephen-currys-almost-aborted-him/">according</a> to LiveAction.
“And, just the Spirit interceding at that moment, in a way that I didn’t even know at the moment was happening, just spoke to again, the purpose of faith &#8230; that, okay, I don’t want to make this decision, because that would have been the second time,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;And I don’t want to make that decision again, and now I just gotta trust God to move forward with me having this child.”
Speaking to Hill earlier this month on &#8220;Jemele Hill is Unbothered,&#8221; Sonya said she aborted a baby during her high school years. &#8220;[I was] dating, you know, the older guy when I was in high school leading into college and making the decision about terminating a pregnancy,&#8221; the 55-year-old said, <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/stephen-curry-mom-sonya-curry-considered-abortion-183458526.html">according</a> to Yahoo! &#8220;Telling those stories and just reliving those feelings that I kind of suppressed and pushed down for a long time &#8230; you wonder did it mess them up at some point?&#8221;
Sonya also revealed that she&#8217;s talked to Stephen about how she almost aborted him.
<div class="caas-readmore caas-readmore-collapse">
&#8220;I had shared it with him,&#8221; she said. &#8220;One of the things that, you know, raising our kids Dell and I had decided that there [were] some things we could tell them, we didn&#8217;t hide a lot about our relationship as much because we always wanted to use situations as teaching opportunities for them so that they could understand it at the developmental stage that they were at, but just to also not hide things.&#8221;
&#8220;I just think sometimes as parents we think we got to hide things and kids wanted to know that we&#8217;re real and it&#8217;s not a fairytale out here,&#8221; she continued.
&#8220;When you have all that we have and you&#8217;re in the arenas that we&#8217;re in, it&#8217;s kind of hard for them not to think they&#8217;re in utopia … so we tried to deliberately share some things with them,&#8221; Sonya added.

Steph Curry’s Mother Reveals She Aborted One Child, Almost Aborted NBA Star Son: ‘God Had A Plan For That Child’

Stephen Curry's Mother Reveals She Almost Aborted NBA Superstar 

Abortion

There are many debates that rage throughout the NBA world. 
Who is the GOAT in basketball? Is Michael Jordan firmly at the top of the list? Or do others have an argument for the top spot? When it comes to the GOAT conversation, the argument can be made that someone other than Jordan deserves top-billing. 
But there is one conversation that does not need to be had. The greatest shooter of all-time is Steph Curry. 
Monday night, Curry made five three’s in Golden State’s 102-100 win over the Pacers in Indiana, moving him to within two makes of surpassing Ray Allen’s record. 
It set Curry up to become the new three-point king Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden — a photo finish at the Mecca of basketball. 
Curry made his second three-pointer of the game with 7:33 remaining in first quarter against the Knicks, officially becoming the all-time leader in threes made in a career. The game was paused to celebrate the moment, with both Allen and Hall of Famer Reggie Miller coming over to congratulate Curry. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
&quot;STEPHEN CURRY&#8230;THE ALL-TIME THREE-POINT KING IN THE NBA.&quot;
History.<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NBA75?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NBA75</a> <a href="https://t.co/8SawFh2QFk">pic.twitter.com/8SawFh2QFk</a>
&mdash; NBA (@NBA) <a href="https://twitter.com/NBA/status/1470917479421693958?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 15, 2021</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;It was thrilling to see Steph break the NBA&#8217;s all-time record for three-pointers,&#8221; NBA commissioner Adam Silver <a href="https://twitter.com/NBAPR/status/1470928900058456068?s=20">said</a> in a statement. &#8220;He has revolutionized the way the game is played and continues to leave fans in awe with his amazing artistry and extraordinary shooting ability. We congratulate him on his historic achievement.&#8221;
What makes the feat so amazing is the length of time it has taken Curry to reach the mark. It took Allen 1,300 games to reach his 2,973 makes, and it took Miller 1,389 games to reach his career total of 2,560. 
For Curry? 789 games to make 2,964 three’s. 
While the argument can be made that the reason for Curry’s quick ascension up the list is due to the NBA’s relatively new reliance on the three, Curry is one of, if not the, reason for the increase in the league&#8217;s three-point attempts. 
When Curry entered the NBA in 2009, teams were averaging 18.1 three-point attempts per game. So far through a quarter of the 2021-2022 season, that number has ballooned to 35.3 attempts per game. 
It can almost all be traced back to Curry, proving that increased three-point shooting simply makes sense analytically, and making defenses defend from sideline to sideline. 
For Curry, becoming the NBA’s all-time three-point shooter appears to come as a relief, as his play has suffered as pressure has mounted for him to pass Allen. 
&#8220;I think he&#8217;s been trying a little bit too hard the last few games,&#8221; Warriors head coach Steve Kerr <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/32863080/warriors-stephen-curry-brink-nba-career-3-point-record-going-5-15-win-pacers">said</a> on Monday. &#8220;Just trying to make 3s and get to this record, it will be a relief for him I think, and for our team, when he does break it. But I just think he&#8217;s been trying a little bit too hard. And a lot of them have been coming out of blitzes, off pick-and-roll &#8212; he just needs to make the simple pass, he knows that, but he&#8217;s kind of trying too hard to make a big play.&#8221;
Since getting within 16 three’s of the record — and not ruling out hitting 16 three’s in one game — Curry had struggled from the field. In his three games prior to Tuesday night at MSG, Curry shot a combined 14-46 from beyond the arc —30.4% — nearly 10 percentage points behind his season average. 
&#8220;I&#8217;m enjoying the moment and now you&#8217;re knocking on the doorstep, it&#8217;s pretty surreal,&#8221; Curry <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/32863080/warriors-stephen-curry-brink-nba-career-3-point-record-going-5-15-win-pacers">said</a> after scoring 26 points and going 5-for-15 from beyond the arc. &#8220;But just trying to let it happen. It&#8217;s one thing I&#8217;ve learned these last three games, is keep playing basketball, keep taking shots you think you&#8217;ll make and enjoy the experience of it because it&#8217;s a long time coming.&#8221;
Curry can now relax and get back to leading the Warriors resurgence, currently holding the best record in the Western Conference. 
Curry has solidified what we already knew — we’ve been watching the greatest shooter to ever play the game for the past 13 years.

Philadelphia 76ers v Golden State Warriors

Steph Curry Passes Ray Allen, Becomes NBA’s All-Time Three-Point Leader

As the saying goes, “The NBA doesn’t begin until Christmas Day.” 
The Warriors and Nets proved otherwise Tuesday night.
In the first marquee matchup of the 2021-2022 regular season, the 11-2 Golden State Warriors traveled to Brooklyn to play the 10-4 Nets, in a matchup of superstars and early-season MVP favorites. 
It’s been nearly three years since Kevin Durant left The Bay Area, wanting to get away from the shadow of Steph Curry, a shadow that never was going to go away as long as Curry remained in Golden State. Much has been said about his departure, with a few petty shots taken along the way. Durant’s relationship with Curry, Draymond Green, and head coach Steve Kerr has been dissected in a number of ways. 
Ultimately, it was simply the case of an all-time great wanting to prove that he could win a championship without the help of potentially the greatest collection of talent the league has ever seen. 
Since his departure, Brooklyn has seemingly had the upper hand — coming within the length of Durant’s big toe of making the Eastern Conference Finals in June — while Golden State has floundered through injuries and the inevitable dip that was always to come after years of tearing through the league. 
Now? Both Durant&#8217;s and Curry’s teams are front and center, potentially on a collision course with the destination being the NBA Finals in June. 
Tuesday night in Brooklyn, Curry came out on top, continuing his smoking hot start to the season in a 117-99 Golden State rout. Curry had 19 in the first half, going 5-8 from beyond the arc, starting the game a perfect 4-4 from three. The four most exciting words in sports, “Steph is going off,” are once again backed by a competitive Warriors team. Chants of “MVP” could be heard at Barclays Center as Curry caught fire, ending the night with 37 points on 9-14 shooting from three.
&#8220;Yeah, the way the crowd energizes when Steph starts rising up from 30 feet &#8212; it&#8217;s everywhere,&#8221; Kerr <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/32650463/golden-state-warriors-enjoy-return-spotlight-brooklyn-nets-acknowledge-not-there-yet">said</a>. &#8220;It happened in Charlotte the other night. It happened tonight. So I think the fact that our team is good again and is playing well and has a good record adds to what Steph brings to the table every night, in terms of his skill and showmanship. And so that stuff &#8212; when you&#8217;re winning and you get the incredible display of skill from Steph, people are going to watch. It&#8217;s fun to be back in the spotlight again. Our team is really enjoying being back here.&#8221;  
As was the case during Golden State’s heyday, it was the third quarter that broke the Nets. 
With Curry in foul trouble, the Warriors outscored the Nets 35-18 in the third quarter, burying Brooklyn before the start of the fourth. 
The Nets struggled mightily to get into an offensive rhythm, shooting 5-22 from the floor in the third quarter, and Durant failed to reach 20 points for the first time this season. 
&#8220;Well, I just don&#8217;t think we&#8217;re in that category yet,&#8221; Brooklyn head coach Steve Nash <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/32650463/golden-state-warriors-enjoy-return-spotlight-brooklyn-nets-acknowledge-not-there-yet">said</a>. &#8220;We got a lot of work to do. We&#8217;re trying to improve as a group, get better and hopefully we can find a way to overcome some of our deficiencies by the end of the year.&#8221;
The NBA is simply more riveting when the Warriors are good, and they’re about to get better with the return of the second “Splash Brother.” 
As reported earlier on Tuesday, Klay Thompson — who hasn’t played in two years due to devastating injuries — is playing five-on-five again, aiming for a return to the court around Christmas. 
&#8220;It&#8217;s huge,&#8221; Warriors forward Draymond Green <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/32650472/golden-state-warriors-klay-thompson-draws-good-reports-5-5-work">said</a> of Thompson&#8217;s pending return. &#8220;From a mental standpoint alone, just huge. So I think it also helps with the way other teams view you as well. So we&#8217;re looking forward to getting him back. We know what he brings to the table. We&#8217;re not expecting him to be Klay Thompson of 2018 right away, but he&#8217;s worked his ass off. He&#8217;s worked his ass off for this moment, and I&#8217;m looking forward to getting him back out there.&#8221;
The Warriors are almost completely back, the Nets have two superstars capable of winning any matchup, and all is right in the NBA again.

Golden State Warriors v Brooklyn Nets

The Greatest Show In Basketball Is Back

Basketball

President Trump weighed in for the first time Wednesday on the ongoing NBA-China debacle by publicly shaming two high-profile coaches for &#8220;pandering to China.&#8221;
Championship-winning coaches Steve Kerr and Gregg Popovich, said Trump, refuse to voice criticism of Communist China&#8217;s oppressive policies but seem to have no such hesitations about talking &#8220;very badly&#8221; about the U.S.
The NBA&#8217;s China mess began when Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey tweeted in support of the pro-democracy demonstrations in Hong Kong against China&#8217;s attempts to erode the autonomy of the region and the civil rights of citizens. In response, the Chinese government and the Chinese Basketball Association denounced the GM and threatened to cut ties with the Rockets. The NBA quickly took steps to appease the communist regime, apologizing for having &#8220;deeply offended many of our friends and fans in China,&#8221; while Morey deleted the tweet and apologized for expressing solidarity with pro-democracy protesters.
Asked about the controversy on Monday, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kurr, who hasn&#8217;t been shy in the past about expressing his political views, refused to offer an opinion, drawing widespread criticism.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">
Steve Kerr has no comment on NBA’s China issues. He comments on every Trump tweet and can’t support democracy in China? What a complete and total coward. <a href="https://t.co/Fr4FJIaOW0">pic.twitter.com/Fr4FJIaOW0</a>
— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClayTravis/status/1181507119494959105?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 8, 2019</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Popovich has likewise refused to give a direct comment on the issue, only praising NBA commissioner Adam Silver for supposedly supporting free speech because, after saying the league was &#8220;apologetic&#8221; about the situation, Silver said &#8220;we are not apologizing for Daryl exercising his freedom of expression.&#8221;
The commissioner &#8220;came out strongly for freedom of speech,&#8221; Popovich <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2019/10/09/gregg-popovich-praises-adam-silver-courage-china-takes-dig-trump/">said</a> Tuesday, despite Silver&#8217;s initial pandering and belated defense of free expression. The San Antonio Spur&#8217;s coach then turned the moment into an opportunity to once again bash Trump.
&#8220;[Silver has] been a heck of a leader in that respect and very courageous,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Then you compare it to what we’ve had to live through the past three years, it’s a big difference. A big gap there, leadership-wise and courage-wise. It wasn’t easy for him to say. He said that in an environment fraught with possible economic peril. But he sided with the principles that we all hold dearly, or most of us did until the last three years. I’m thrilled with what he said. The courage and leadership displayed is off the charts by comparison.&#8221;
Trump, who&#8217;s been in a long-running public feud with Kerr and Popovich, addressed the controversy for the first time Wednesday.
Asked if the Chinese are &#8220;wrong to be putting pressure on the NBA,&#8221; Trump said, &#8220;Well the NBA&#8217;s a different thing. I watch this guy Steve Kerr and he was like a little boy, he was so scared to be answering the question. He wouldn&#8217;t even answer the question — he was shaking, &#8216;Oh, oh, oh, I don&#8217;t know. I don&#8217;t know.'&#8221;
&#8220;He didn&#8217;t know how to answer the question, and yet he&#8217;ll talk about the United States very badly,&#8221; Trump added. As for Popovich, Trump said, &#8220;sort of the same thing, but he didn&#8217;t look quite as scared actually.&#8221;
Overall, he said, &#8220;they talk badly about the United States, but when [they talk] about China, they don&#8217;t want to say anything bad.&#8221;
&#8220;I watch the way that Kerr and Popovich and some of the others were pandering to China, and yet to our own country, it&#8217;s like they don&#8217;t respect it. It&#8217;s like they don&#8217;t respect it,&#8221; Trump concluded. &#8220;I said, &#8216;What a difference — isn&#8217;t it sad?&#8217; It&#8217;s very sad. To me, it&#8217;s very sad.&#8221;

One of the more outspoken stars of Kerr&#8217;s team, Stephen Curry, has likewise demurred to give a substantive answer when asked about the Hong Kong protests. While admitting that the NBA has been &#8220;really outspoken&#8221; about important issues, Curry said he just doesn&#8217;t &#8220;know that history well enough to kind of speak on it or to form an opinion yet, so that&#8217;s kind of where I&#8217;m at with the situation.&#8221;

Talk about getting ahead of yourself.
During a press conference before the Super Bowl, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said the team was &#8220;undecided&#8221; on whether to accept an invitation to visit President Trump at the White House.
Now, the team won&#8217;t have to bother making the decision: Only winners get invited to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Ever since Trump took office, athletes and teams have been dissing the president. And Trump&#8217;s been playing them like the master troll he is. In June 2018, Trump abruptly disinvited the Philadelphia Eagles after some team players said they&#8217;d boycott the visit.
&#8220;The Philadelphia Eagles are unable to come to the White House with their full team to be celebrated tomorrow. They disagree with their President because he insists that they proudly stand for the National Anthem, hand on heart, in honor of the great men and women of our military and the people of our country,&#8221; Trump said in a statement. &#8220;The Eagles wanted to send a smaller delegation, but the 1,000 fans planning to attend the event deserve better.&#8221;
Trump also slapped the Eagles for disrespecting the Star-Spangled Banner.
<div class="embed tweet">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">
The Philadelphia Eagles Football Team was invited to the White House. Unfortunately, only a small number of players decided to come, and we canceled the event. Staying in the Locker Room for the playing of our National Anthem is as disrespectful to our country as kneeling. Sorry!
&#8212; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1003832766511894528?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 5, 2018</a></blockquote>
</div>
Trump also spanked the Golden State Warriors the year before after some players, including star Stephen Curry, said they probably would not attend a White House ceremony. &#8220;Going to the White House is considered a great honor for a championship team,&#8221; Trump tweeted. &#8220;Stephen Curry is hesitating, therefore invitation is withdrawn!&#8221;
But the Rams brought it all to a new level: They said they might not go to the White House before they even won their sports&#8217; top trophy. Then they got beat 13-3 by the New England Patriots in one of the most boring Super Bowls ever.
McVay, 33, did say in the press conference that &#8220;the first thing is we have to win this game. And that&#8217;s going to be a great challenge for us, so that&#8217;s really kind of where we&#8217;re at. We&#8217;re solely focused on trying to win the game against an excellent football team that&#8217;s been doing as well as anybody over the last handful of years.&#8221;
Regardless, McVay did inject politics into the matter by saying the team was &#8220;undecided&#8221; on whether to visit the White House if the Rams won.

Well, they weren&#8217;t &#8220;lucky&#8221; enough because they simply weren&#8217;t &#8220;good&#8221; enough.
Here&#8217;s the thing: There&#8217;s no need for athletes and their coaches (or owners, for that matter) to be political. Think back 50 years, when President Richard Nixon invited sports teams to the White House. Did they all &#8212; every player or coach or owner &#8212; agree with Nixon, support the Vietnam War? Did they for Ronald Reagan? George Bush? Barack Obama?
Of course not. But they went to the White House because the president invited them. They were civil, adult, mature. And when the president invites you to the White House, you go.
That simple.
But if you&#8217;re going to diss the president, maybe it&#8217;s best to do so after you win the big game. Just saying.

NOT A PROBLEM: Rams Head Coach Said Team Might Skip Trump Visit After Super Bowl Win

Los Angeles

Philadelphia Eagles

Steph Curry is one of basketball&#8217;s best, sinking bombs nightly from all over the court.
But the NBA star fired up a mental airball on Monday when he said he doesn&#8217;t think man ever landed on the moon.
The comments came when the Golden State Warriors guard appeared on the &#8220;Winging It&#8221; podcast with two basketball player hosts. At one point, for some reason, Curry asked the others if they thought the United States had ever put a man on the moon, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/10/sports/stephen-curry-moon-landing.html">The New York Times</a> reports.
<blockquote>
&#8220;We ever been to the moon?&#8221; he asked.
The others, in unison, agreed that the answer was no.
&#8220;They&#8217;re going to come get us,&#8221; Curry replied. &#8220;Sorry, I don&#8217;t want to start conspiracies.&#8221;
</blockquote>
Annie Finberg, a digital content coordinator for the Atlanta Hawks and another host of the podcast, followed up, asking Curry, &#8220;You don&#8217;t think so?&#8221;
&#8220;Nuh uh,&#8221; he said.
Finberg then &#8220;expressed some skepticism, asking Curry to clarify, and he said he did not believe the United States had landed on the moon, leading to a short discussion of some of the more popular conspiracy theories, including one asserting that the film director Stanley Kubrick had staged the entire thing,&#8221; the Times writes.
The Kubrick conspiracy theory has been out there since the beginning. Under the theory, the U.S. realized before the July 16, 1969 launch of Apollo 11 that they&#8217;d never reach the moon, so NASA called in the famed film director of the 1968 hit &#8220;2001: A Space Odyssey&#8221; to fake it.
NASA has heard all the theories before and kept a sense of humor about the latest from Curry &#8212; they invited him to swing by their lab.
&#8220;We&#8217;d love for Mr. Curry to tour the lunar lab at our Johnson Space Center in Houston, perhaps the next time the Warriors are in town to play the Rockets,&#8221; said Allard Beutel, a NASA spokesman. &#8220;We have hundreds of pounds of moon rocks stored there, and the Apollo mission control. During his visit, he can see firsthand what we did 50 years ago, as well as what we&#8217;re doing now to go back to the moon in the coming years, but this time to stay.&#8221;
NASA also has a <a href="https://sservi.nasa.gov/articles/great-moon-hoax/">page on its website</a> in which it debunks the conspiracy theory.
&#8220;There are answers to all the questions raised by the non-believers, but one of the strongest arguments (besides LRO&#8217;s evidence) is that all the Apollo missions were independently tracked by England and Russia (our allies and enemies), both of whom sent letters of congratulations after the Moon landings. In the midst of a heated space race, the Russians would have called our bluff if the landings had not actually happened,&#8221; NASA says, referring to the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.
Curry&#8217;s just lucky he didn&#8217;t blurt out his theory when Buzz Aldrin was nearby. Aldrin was the second man to walk on the moon. In 2002, Aldrin was confronted by conspiracy theorist Bart Sibrel, who said to the astronaut, &#8220;You&#8217;re the one who said you walked on the moon when you didn&#8217;t.&#8221;
Aldrin, 72 at the time, punched him square in the face.

NBA’s Steph Curry Says Moon Landing Was Fake; NASA Schools Him Hard.

President Trump hears everything.
So when the legendary running back Jim Brown praised the president while appearing on &#8220;The JT The Brick Show&#8221; on Fox Sports Radio last week, Trump heard.
&#8220;Thank you to the great @JimBrownNFL32, perhaps the greatest running back of all time, for your wonderful words and support. Since our meeting in New York, African-American UNEMPLOYMENT has reached the LOWEST LEVEL IN HISTORY. You get it!&#8221; Trump wrote on Twitter.

Brown, inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1971, met with Trump in Trump Tower in 2016, and the former Cleveland Browns running back said he asked the then-president elect what he could do to help. Since then, he&#8217;s offered words of support and has said of his meeting, &#8220;I fell in love with him.&#8221;
In his radio appearance last week, Brown, now 82 years old, endorsed Trump for re-election in 2020, even though he said his stance will anger some in the &#8220;black community.&#8221;
&#8220;I should be criticizing Trump on every level because he does certain things that call for criticism. But when I look at television I see all these announcers become experts and they&#8217;re pointing their fingers, and they&#8217;re not doing a doggone thing but pointing their fingers, I find myself really pulling for the president,&#8221; Brown said.
&#8220;Now, that would make me very unpopular in the black community, very unpopular with a lot of Americans &#8230; but I think that there are certain good things that are coming out of this presidency because we&#8217;ve never seen anything like it,&#8221; Brown said, as reported by TMZ.
Brown said it&#8217;s his duty as a good American. &#8220;I believe that I have to work on myself first to be as good a person as I could be to back up my country as best as I know how.&#8221;
Several high-profile athletes &#8212; including NBA stars LeBron James and Stephen Curry &#8212; have ripped Trump, vowing not to go to the White House if invited. But other prominent blacks, especially rapper Kanye West, have praised the president.
&#8220;You don&#8217;t have to agree with Trump but the mob can&#8217;t make me not love him,&#8221; West wrote on Twitter in April &#8212; setting off a firestorm. &#8220;We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone. I don&#8217;t agree with everything anyone does. That&#8217;s what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought.&#8221;

President Donald Trump fired back at NBA players LeBron James and Stephen Curry on Friday after the players said that they would not visit the White House if either of their teams won the NBA championship, telling both players that they were never invited.
Trump made the remarks to a group of reporters before leaving for Canada for the G7 Summit, saying, &#8220;I didn&#8217;t invite LeBron James, and I didn&#8217;t invite Steph Curry. We&#8217;re not going to invite either team.&#8221;
&#8220;But we have other teams that are coming,&#8221; told reporters. &#8220;If you look, we had Alabama &#8212; national champion. We had Clemson, national champion. We had the New England Patriots. We had the Pittsburgh Penguins last year.&#8221;
&#8220;I think we&#8217;ll have the Caps. We&#8217;ll see,&#8221; Trump continued. &#8220;You know, my attitude is if they want to be here, the greatest place on Earth, I&#8217;m here. If they don&#8217;t want to be here, I don&#8217;t want them.&#8221;
