Dell Curry Shares Update on Steph Curry's NBA Future

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources.
Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry remains arguably one of the top players in the world. The four-time NBA champion is coming off yet another stellar season, where he led his team to the second round of the playoffs after securing the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference.
Curry has defied the odds in his career. Many didn't think he would be this good; in fact, many didn't even think he would be a player in the league for a long time. However, he has jumped through every single hurdle in his career, and now he is arguably the greatest point guard of all time and arguably one of the top 15 players of all time.
While Curry is still at the top of his game, he is closer to the end of his career than the beginning. The 37-year-old will soon enter his 17th season in the league; however, he is not close to being done, at least according to his father, Dell Curry.
Curry spoke to DJ Siddiqi of RG Media and said his son still has a ton left in the tank.

Photo by"He still loves the game," Dell Curry, via RG.org. "He's a competitive guy. He wants to win another title, so we're not even close to that window yet. But when the time comes, I think he'll make the right decision."
If there was an indication that Curry is at the top of his game, we saw it this past season. In 70 games this season, the two-time MVP averaged 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 6.0 assists while shooting 44.8 percent from the field, 39.7 percent from beyond the arc and 93.3 percent from the free-throw line.
The 11-time All-Star has been one of the best players in the league for over a decade, and even as he nears the end of his career, that still remains the case. Curry is a threat from all over the court and remains a terrifying player, due to his ability to hurt opponents from anywhere on the court.
The former Davidson Wildcat suffered a hamstring strain in the first game of the second round of the playoffs. That hamstring strain kept him out of the playoffs and eventually led to the downfall of the Warriors, who were eliminated in five games by the Minnesota Timberwolves in a gentlemanly sweep.
Curry still has some years left under his belt, and they will all likely be with the Warriors.

Cubs legend Sammy Sosa returns to Wrigley Field after 20-plus-year hiatus

Associated Press CHICAGO (AP) — Legendary Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa returned to Wrigley Field for the first time in more than 20 years on Friday before Chicago's afternoon game with the Seattle Mariners. Sosa, who is set to be inducted into the Cubs' team Hall of Fame this year, arrived at the iconic North Side ballpark in a black SUV. He was greeted by owner Tom Ricketts, who embraced him in a hug as he exited the vehicle. Sosa became the face of the Cubs franchise where he played 13 seasons after coming in a trade from the crosstown White Sox in March 1992. A seven-time All-Star, Sosa hit 545 homers in 1,811 games with the Cubs and hit a franchise-record 66 in 1998 when he was named the NL's MVP. Sosa, now 56, played his final game with the Cubs at Wrigley on Oct. 2, 2004, when he homered and had two hits in an 8-6 loss to Atlanta. During his years with the Cubs, Sosa appeared to bulk up drastically and was a headliner in a generation of baseball's biggest names linked to performance-enhancing drugs. The Cubs traded him to Baltimore with cash in February 2005 for three players. Sosa appeared to acknowledge using performance-enhancing drugs in December when he released a statement saying he was sorry for mistakes, without specifying them. 'There were times I did whatever I could to recover from injuries in an effort to keep my strength up to perform over 162 games,' he said in the statement. 'I never broke any laws. But in hindsight, I made mistakes and I apologize.' On Friday morning, Sosa posed for photos with rising Cubs star Pete Crow-Armstrong outside the team's clubhouse and a video showed Sosa embracing manager Craig Counsell in his office before the game. '(Sosa) saw the wind blowing out today and planned this trip around a good day to be here,' Counsell joked. 'He asked to be in the lineup because the wind's blowing out.' The Cubs remained mum on any ceremony or event before or during Friday's game. In Thursday's 8-7 loss to Milwaukee, Crow-Armstrong went deep to set a new team record for reaching 20 homers and 20-plus stolen stolen bases the fastest, doing it in 73 games. Sosa had the old mark of 96, set in 1994. Counsell, who faced Sosa as a player, saluted the former slugger for his strength at the plate and long homers, as well as star power. 'Probably the best thing, Sammy was a true entertainer," Counsell said. "I think when you're in this long enough, you realize that's part of this. 'We're also here to entertain and I think Sammy was great at that.' ___ AP MLB: recommended

Kevin Durant becomes part-owner of Champions League winner PSG amid trade talks

NBA All-Star Kevin Durant has purchased a stake in French football club Paris Saint-Germain. After acquiring 5% of MLS club Philadelphia Union in 2020, the Phoenix Suns superstar is strengthening his business portfolio by becoming a part-owner of the recently crowned Champions League winners. On Friday, PSG announced that Qatar Sports Investment, its majority shareholder, had signed a strategic partnership agreement with Durant. The details of the deal were not revealed. "Under the terms of the partnership, Durant — via his media and investment company Boardroom, co-founded with longtime business partner Rich Kleiman — will acquire a direct minority stake in the club," PSG's statement read. Advertisement In a comment released by PSG, Durant said, "It is an honor to partner with QSI and be a shareholder in Paris Saint-Germain — a club and city that is deeply close to my heart. "This club has big plans and I look forward to being part of the next phase of growth and exploring new investment opportunities with QSI." The club noted that the two-time NBA champion will be helping with its diversification, growth strategy and development in the United States and international markets. Durant will also use his expertise in PSG's multi-sport strategy, which includes plans around basketball. PSG currently has soccer, handball and eSports programs. Durant and Rich Kleiman's investment vehicle, Boardroom Sports Holdings, and QSI will collaborate on commercial, investment and content production efforts with the new partnership. Boardroom holds stakes in Major League Pickleball's Brooklyn Aces and NWSL's Gotham City FC. Advertisement Durant's investment comes as the NBA, FIBA and other entities are in talks about establishing a new basketball league in Europe. "Together with Kevin, we look forward to developing ambitious initiatives that will drive the continued global growth of Paris Saint-Germain and QSI," PSG president Nasser Al Khelaïfi said. Apart from proving their European supremacy with a 5-0 win over Inter Milan in the UCL final, PSG convincingly won the French Ligue 1 with a 26-6-2 (W-D-L) record and a 19-point lead over second-place Marseille. Durant finished his third season with the Suns and is in the heat of trade discussions after the team missed the postseason. The former MVP averaged 26 points and six rebounds per game before ending the season with a left ankle sprain.

Steelers Will Howard says learning from Aaron Rodgers is 'invaluable'

There seems to be one thing that everyone knows about Aaron Rodgers – that we know nothing at all. To many in the media, the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback is a thorn in their side. To fans, he's the guy that won't walk away from the game even when they think he should. To others, he's just a great quarterback that is one of the best to ever play. Advertisement Despite those differing views, teammates seem to love playing with Rodgers. The New York Jets gushed over the quarterback's presence on HBO's "Hard Knocks" and throughout his two seasons in the Big Apple. Quinnen Williams expressed frustration when the Jets released Rodgers, saying, "another rebuild year for me I guess," in a since deleted post on X. Williams' misfortune is to Will Howard's benefit, however. The rookie quarterback spoke glowingly about Rodgers' presence at Steelers mandatory minicamp in an interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Brian Batko. "He's been so awesome to me so far,' Howard said. "Obviously we've only gotten to be together for about three days, but I got a really good feeling about him and about this whole QB room. I think we already in this past week meshed really well, hit it off. I think we got a good vibe, good group." Howard added that Rodgers has been willing to help him in any way he can – something the 41-year-old had previously done for Jordan Love in Green Bay and Zach Wilson in New York. Advertisement "Aaron has been so willing to help me," Howard said. "He's like, 'Literally, as much or as little as you want me to help you, I'll be there.' He's already given me tips, little things here and there – in the meeting room, on the field, in my drops, different little things. Obviously I can't do the things that he can do mechanically, so I don't want to replicate that too much because that's pretty unique. But, for the most part, everything I can learn from that guy is invaluable. So I'm like, dude, as much as you want to pour into me." While Howard won't win the starting job in training camp, he's eager to soak up as much knowledge as possible from the four-time NFL MVP in what could be his final season. Rodgers kept the league in the dark for most of the offseason, seemingly on the edge between playing or retiring before ultimately signing with the Steelers prior to mandatory minicamp. The quarterback previously noted that he was dealing with some personal things throughout the offseason, leading to his absence from the public eye and an NFL roster. Advertisement It seems things have gotten off to a good start for those inside the building, even if some fans aren't as excited. Regardless, Howard is one that believes Rodgers is a pleasure to have in class. All the NFL news on and off the field. Sign up for USA TODAY's 4th and Monday newsletter.
