The Golden State Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the 2016 NBA Finals, and no one is ever going to let them forget that. Warriors star Stephen Curry is set to tee off in his first professional golf tournament Thursday when he takes the links at the Web.Com Tour’s Ellie Mae Classic in Hayward, Calif., thanks to a sponsorship exemption. And while the Warriors handily defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2017 NBA Finals, one of Curry’s competitors on the course isn’t going to let the two-time MVP forget about his team’s collapse from the previous season. Justin Lower is a huge Cavs fan, and he decided to rile up the locals with

Dwyane Wade Has Hilarious Idea On How To Stop Warriors’ Stephen Curry
Stephen Curry has been one of the best players in the NBA over the past three seasons, but one surefire Hall of Famer thinks he knows the secret to stopping “Chef Curry.” Dwyane Wade has won three NBA titles and played with a number of NBA All-Stars, so it stands to reason that he might have a trick up his sleeve to stop the two-time NBA MVP. But Wade’s idea has absolutely nothing to do with defensive strategy, as he explained on Twitter. Not a bad plan, if you ask us. Curry has been torching the league for the past three seasons, averaging 26.4 points, seven assists and more than four 3-pointers

Lakers Destroy Warriors In 117-97 Win, End Stephen Curry’s 3-Point Streak
It’s safe to say Luke Walton’s first meeting against his former went pretty well. The Los Angeles Lakers coach, who used to be the assistant coach for Golden State, led his team to a 117-97 blowout win over the Warriors on Friday at Staples Center. The Lakers improved to 3-3, while the Dubs dropped to 4-2. Warriors star Stephen Curry also ended his streak of 196 games with at least one 3-pointer, as he went 0-for-10 from long range. “That was a cool little ride,” Curry said, per USA TODAY. “Would have loved to finish my career making one every game, but hey, start a new one. What was it, like two years?
Bill Belichick Not Making Excuses For Stephen Gostkowski After Fifth Missed Kick
by Zack Cox on Mon, Oct 24, 2016 at 11:27AM 2,891 After Arizona Cardinals kicker Chandler Catanzaro missed a chip-shot field goal in Sunday night’s bizarre tie against the Seattle Seahawks, Cardinals coach Bruce Arians laid into him. “Make it,” Arians said in his postgame news conference. “He’s a professional. This ain’t high school. You get paid to make it.” Bill Belichick wasn’t nearly as blunt Monday morning when discussing his own kicker, Stephen Gostkowski, but the Ne... NESN.com
Steven Hauschka’s Name Actually Is Stephen, But He Hasn’t Corrected Anyone In Years
Here’s your weird sports of the day: Everyone has been spelling Steven Hauschka’s name wrong for his entire NFL career. KCPQ-TV in Seattle was doing a segment with the Seahawks kicker when producer Dusty Lane double-checked the spelling of Hauschka’s last name. However, as Lane tells it, he should’ve been checking the first. A photographer checked with Hauschka and learned that the kicker’s first name actually is spelled “Stephen” rather than “Steven.” “There was a little mix-up in college,” Hauschka said, per Lane. So why didn’t the Needham, Mass., native correct anyone until his ninth season in the league? “Uh ... NESN.com
Is Stephen Curry The Reason For Ray Allen’s Possible NBA Comeback?
Share this: Ray Allen is considering an NBA comeback at age 41. But why? Allen made more than $184 million in salary alone during his 18 NBA seasons. He won two NBA titles, walked away with a Hall of Fame-worthy résumé and hasn’t played since the 2013-14 campaign.

Allen holds the NBA’s all-time record for 3-point field goals with 2,973. There isn’t anyone nipping at his heels, but that might not be the case for long, especially if Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry continues to drain buckets at an amazing clip. Curry
