Stephen Curry - English
Golden State Warriors veteran Draymond Green has never been shy about calling out what he sees as injustices in the NBA, and this time, his message is directed at the league’s referees.
Following a disappointing 106-96 loss to the Houston Rockets on Sunday, Green took to The Draymond Green Show to express frustration over the officiating – specifically how it impacts superstar teammate Stephen Curry.
According to Green, Curry is routinely fouled but rarely gets the benefit of the whistle because he doesn’t exaggerate contact.
“He gets penalized because he’s not a flopper. So he don’t flop to sell calls,” Green said. “And so it’s almost as if, ‘Oh, he’s not getting fouled’ or it don’t matter because he ain’t showing that he’s getting fouled.”
“We reward flopping and flailing in this league, and Steph does neither. I actually think it ultimately doesn’t really hurt him because he still do what he do, but it hurts him as far as getting the call.”
Struggles against Houston reignite debate
Curry endured one of the roughest shooting nights of his season against the Rockets, finishing with just 3 points on 1-of-9 shooting, including 1-of-8 from beyond the arc.
While he added eight assists and two rebounds, the lack of calls in his favor added to the Warriors’ frustrations as they continue to fight for a playoff berth.
Green‘s frustration wasn’t the only one voiced. Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler also weighed in on the matter, strongly defending the two-time MVP.
“I’ve never seen an individual get fouled more than he gets fouled. To me, I think that’s astounding. It’s been happening to him his whole career,” Butler stated.
Curry, 36, is known not only for his elite shooting but also for his stoic demeanor and refusal to embellish contact – a style that may now be working against him in a league that often favors more theatrical players when it comes to foul calls.
The Warriors, clinging to a spot in the Western Conference play-in race, need Curry to be at his best during the final stretch. Whether that includes fairer treatment from referees remains to be seen.
But as Green and Butler point out, Curry‘s quiet toughness shouldn’t be mistaken for invincibility – and the league may need to take notice.

Tenista Sinner začal s tréninkem, snadný návrat po trestu za doping nečeká
„Trénujeme velmi tvrdě. A doufám, že se před nástupem na antuku dostanu aspoň trochu do formy,“ řekl trojnásobný grandslamový vítěz. „Ale nebude to vůbec lehké. Hlavně první zápasy budou opravdu náročné,“ přidal Sinner.Distanc mu skončí 4. května, den před startem Masters v Římě, kde by se měl Sinner vrátit na soutěžní kurty. Poté má v úmyslu v rámci přípravy na Roland Garros startovat také na turnaji v Hamburku (17. až 24. května). Druhý grandslam sezony v Paříži začne 25. května.Sinner měl dopingový nález loni v březnu v Indian Wells, ale oproti zvyklostem za to neměl ani předběžně zastavenou činnost. Uspěl totiž s tvrzením, že se mu látka dostala do těla při masáži z rukou jeho fyzioterapeuta. Případ navíc vyšel najevo až na konci srpna.Proti postupu tenisových orgánů se Světová antidopingová agentura (WADA) odvolala k CAS, ale na arbitráž nakonec nedošlo. Sinner se totiž s WADA dohodl na tříměsíčním trestu.
Barcelona hoje: time tem desfalques de peso contra o Real Madrid em final
O Barcelona encara o arquirrival Real Madrid, neste sábado (26), às 17h (de Brasília), valendo o título da Copa do Rei. Semifinalista da Champions, líder de La Liga e na decisão do torneio copeiro local, o time de Hansi Flick busca um ‘triplete’ especial nesta temporada 2024-25, podendo deixar o rival sem conquistas. Para o duelo, o time blaugrano não terá Robert Lewandowski, que segue em processo de recuperação de uma lesão na coxa, e deve dar lugar para Ferrán Torres. A lista de problemas dos catalães ainda conta com Marc Casadó e Marc Bernal. Ronald Araújo e Balde são tratados como dúvidas. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE A provável escalação do Barcelona tem: Szczesny; Kounde, Cubarsi, Iñigo Martínez, Gerard Martín; De Jong, Pedri; Yamal, Fermín López, Raphinha; Ferrán Torres.

Wrexham vs. Charlton prediction: Where to watch Ryan Reynolds club, live stream: League One odds, lineups
Getty Images Wrexham take on Carlton in a crucial battle in League One on Saturday, with both teams still very much in the search to win automatic promotion to the Championship.The Red Dragons are in a strong position to earn an unprecedented third successive promotion as they chart an upward course in England's soccer pyramid, currently sitting second with 86 points and two games to go in the League One season. Wrexham are not the only team in the mix for that automatic promotion spot, though – Charlton are just four points behind them in fourth place and face a must-win game if they want to finish inside the top two.Both sides will be equally motivated not to be in spots three to six on the table, where a ticket to the Championship next season is still available but more […]
