Before Stephen Curry became the greatest shooter ever, he was just a skinny kid with a ridiculous jump shot and a dream.

Don Nelson believed in him when others questioned whether his size and frame could translate to the NBA. That belief helped Curry with the opportunity to prove exactly what he was capable of.

Fast-forward years later… 4 championships, 2 MVPs, a Finals MVP, and the greatest 3-point shooter basketball has ever seen. 🐐🔥

He averaged 22.2 points and 10.0 rebounds per game, earned Consensus Second-Team All-American honors, and was named the NCAA Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player.

D’Angelo Russell on the 76ers:

“LeBron is the greatest of all time. You know, Joel is ex MVP, Jaylen Brown Finals MVP, Maxey coming off of the year he had, Edgecombe. The sky is the limit.”

Who takes the win?

The “unc bigs” bracket in the Fan Vote Tournament is stacked with talent, featuring Michael Beasley’s record-setting freshman season at Kansas State against Hasheem Thabeet’s elite shot-blocking from his UConn days.

Enes Freedom on joining the WNBA:

“I’m on my couch, watching the WNBA and the post-game interviews. One of the players came out and said, ‘I welcome trans athletes in my team any day and every day.’ And even said, ‘There’s no problem with me going against a trans athlete.’

The WNBA itself, players, and especially the coaches are the ones that have been advocating trans people playing in women’s sports. So I’m not sure why I am getting all this backlash.

They are the ones that encouraged me to do this.”

Carrington complained to officials during the fourth quarter of the Sky-Valkyries game about a fan sitting near the court. The fan was then escorted away from his seat, only to return later after Carrington's complaint was deemed "unfounded."

On June 13, 1997, in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, Steve Kerr scored 9 points, including the iconic game-winning jumper assisted by Michael Jordan with just seconds left.

The Boston Red Sox acquired three-time All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman from the Baltimore Orioles in a blockbuster deadline deal. Rutschman brings an elite defensive reputation, strong leadership qualities, and a team-first mentality to a Boston clubhouse aiming for a deep postseason run.
