Share this: Stephen Curry hasn’t forgotten Charles Barkley’s throwing of shade at the Golden State Warriors. Curry, Barkley and a slew of other athletes will be taking part in this weekend’s American Century Championship golf tournament. And when “Chef” was asked whether he’d rather play alongside “Sir Charles” or have him as his caddy, the Warriors guard had an unsurprising response. But Steph made sure to return the favor for Barkley’s jabs at The Dubs over the course of last season. “I would put Chuck on the bag,” Curry told ASAP Sports. “He’s talked a lot of smack about me and the Warriors in years.

NBA Rumors: Knicks Pause Carmelo Anthony Trade Talks With Cavs, Rockets
Share this: The Houston Rockets might be the frontrunner to land New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony via trade, but the chances of a deal happening soon don’t look good.

Watt likely was referencing the fact that Ball wore Nike shoes instead of his ZO2 Primes during the Lakers’ NBA Summer League game on Wednesday. So, could we have a new feud to go along with the war of words between the family patriarch, LaVar Ball, and, well, a lot of people? Thumbnail
