Stephen Curry reminded the world why he’s still the NBA’s most electrifying star, and according to Draymond Green, his legacy now outshines even the greatest to ever play the game.
In a stunning Game 1 win over the No. 2 seeded Houston Rockets, Curry dropped 31 points to lead the Golden State Warriors to a 95-85 upset on the road. The veteran guard dazzled the Toyota Center crowd with an array of jaw-dropping shots, including a near half-court bomb and an off-balance jumper from out of bounds that defied logic.

Speaking postgame with Bob Fitzgerald and Kelenna Azubuike, Green couldn’t hold back his admiration – or his bold claim.
“That deep one from the Toyota Center [logo] and the one out of bounds over here, absolutely insane,” Green said. “But that’s why he’s the GOAT.”
It was a statement that seemed to elevate Curry above even Michael Jordan and LeBron James, a bold take from someone who has witnessed Curry‘s greatness firsthand for over a decade.
Curry the GOAT
Curry got off to a hot start by attacking the rim, but his three-point barrage began late in the second quarter. He buried back-to-back triples to widen the Warriors’ lead before catching fire in the second half.
His final dagger – a contested three off an inbounds play – came just as Houston was mounting a comeback. The shot silenced the crowd and sealed the win, with Curry finishing 12-of-19 from the field and 5-of-9 from deep.
For Draymond Green, it was just another reminder of why Curry‘s impact is unmatched.
Thirteen years into their partnership, the Warriors duo is still rewriting history – and shaking up the GOAT conversation in the process.

No edge rushers for Lions on NFL Draft Day 2 as Brad Holmes sticks to his plan
ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Brad Holmes and the Detroit Lions war room were spotted wearing hoodies that read “HWS” — height, weight, speed — crossed out. The Lions typically coordinate their apparel during draft weekend. They’ve worn “positional villain” hoodies. They’ve collectively worn Dan Campbell jerseys, perhaps an ode to drafting Dan Campbell guys. So when Holmes emerged Friday at the end of night two, he explained the latest draft-related message.Advertisement“Height, weight, speed — it is the opposite of film evaluation, and we’re all about film evaluation,” Holmes said. “That’s the hard part of scouting. Height, weight, speed is easy. Stats are easy. A position listed is easy. But film evaluation is hard to figure out.”The Lions believe in film. They believe it doesn’t lie. The film told them that Georgia guard Tate Ratledge and Arkansas wide reciever Isaac TeSlaa […]
With Game 3 win, Devils show resolve that could benefit them long beyond the playoffs
NEWARK, N.J. — Friday night’s double-overtime victory doesn’t mean the New Jersey Devils will win this series. It doesn’t even mean they’ll reach Game 6. They are still the heavy underdogs and trailing 2-1 against a Carolina Hurricanes team that is healthier and has more recent playoff success. Not many people would bat an eye if Carolina won the next two games and sent the Devils home for the summer.AdvertisementBut that doesn’t change the importance of New Jersey’s Game 3 win. It’s the type of game that will stick with players on the roster, from overtime hero Simon Nemec — a healthy scratch earlier this series — to Jonas Siegenthaler, who played his first game since February, to young players like Paul Cotter and Cody Glass, who took their first-ever playoff overtime shifts.It’s the type of win that builds the […]

Eagles see Andrew Mukuba as a physical, disciplined safety; stockpiled Day 3 picks with trades
PHILADELPHIA — Howie Roseman strode into the auditorium with a grin, with a quip prepared for the bleary-eyed reporters who stuck around the NovaCare Complex into the wee hours of the NFL Draft’s second night only for the Philadelphia Eagles general manager to trade out of the third round.“Rest up for next year, Friday night, because we are working next year on Friday night,” Roseman said.AdvertisementIndeed, Day 2 in 2026 is scheduled to be a marathon. The Eagles have a second round pick and three other selections in the third round. They’ve never had more than three in a given draft since Roseman was first named general manager in 2010. Next year promises to offer more flare than Friday night did. The Eagles spent the No. 64 pick on Texas safety Andrew Mukuba, then used Nos. 96 and 134 within a series […]
Broncos trio of Day 2 moves ‘paid off’ after landing offensive pieces RJ Harvey, Pat Bryant
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — In the thick of the NFL Draft chaos Friday night, as phones buzzed in the Denver Broncos’ war room, general manager George Paton ordered a pause on the movement for a brief, yet urgent news announcement.“I just want to congratulate Sean (Payton),” the GM said, “on his first trade back since 2006.”AdvertisementPaton last year said the Broncos were preparing a cake when the coach almost, but not quite, triggered a move back on Day 2 of the draft. On Friday, he joked that a trophy for Payton, whose draft DNA typically moves him up the board instead of down it, was on the way after the Broncos moved back twice in the second round — from No. 51 to 57; then from 57 to 60.“It certainly paid off,” Payton said.The Broncos viewed those moves as critical framework […]
Why the Seahawks couldn’t resist Jalen Milroe, both the player and person: ‘He’s unique’
RENTON, Wash. — In February, John Schneider said that for the Seattle Seahawks to draft a quarterback this offseason, the board would have to speak to them on draft weekend.Hearing from the longtime general manager and coach Mike Macdonald on Friday night, it sounds like what spoke volumes was Jalen Milroe’s game film — and his personality.Advertisement“He’s a unique, special young man, special athlete,” Schneider said.Seattle selected with Milroe, a two-year starter at Alabama, with the No. 92 pick, which the team received from the Las Vegas Raiders in the Geno Smith trade. He’s the third quarterback Schneider has selected in 16 drafts with the Seahawks (Russell Wilson and Alex McGough are the others). Milroe was the third and final pick made on Friday by Seattle, which gave up pick Nos. 52 and 82 to draft safety Nick Emmanwori at […]
