Ray Allen hasn’t played in the NBA for two seasons and now wants back in. And why? Apparently, because of Stephen Curry. Here’s what Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe, via CSNNE.com (thanks to ProBasketballTalk for the transcript): Ray wants to play again. I’m sure about that.

After the Golden State Warriors' free-agency pitch to Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry apparently sent a text message, the contents of which arguably changed the NBA forever. Here's The Undefeated's Marc J. Spears with the lowdown: Even so, Curry apparently felt it necessary to send Durant a message hours after the meeting Friday night to reassure [...]
Should-have-been-NBA-champions-but-aren’t-NBA-champions-because-they-chocked-away-a-commanding-3-1-Finals-lead-against-the-Cleveland-Cavaliers Golden State Warriors can breath a sigh of relief. Neither Andrew Bogut (knee) nor Stephen Curry (his entire body?) requires offseason surgery, according to general manager Bob Myers.

Some NBA players shy away from giving compliments to their opponents. LeBron James is not one of those players—not even when the players in question represent the Golden State Warriors, the team the four-time MVP’s Cleveland Cavaliers will face in the NBA Finals. From USA Today‘s AJ Neuharth-Keusch: “They shoot the ball extremely well,” James [...]
Stephen Curry is tough. He has played through injuries, worked his way back from injuries, withstood blows at the rim and, most notably, reinvented the game of basketball despite constant push-back from old heads who don’t consider him an all-time great. Not everyone thinks Curry is tough, though. And why not? Golden State Warriors head [...]
Is Stephen Curry a good defender? He’s certainly not a terrible one. And there are times when he’s underrated, because criticism is so unnecessarily prevalent. Take the Golden State Warriors’ Game 5 Western Conference Finals win over the Oklahoma City on Thursday night. Curry didn’t see a ton of time on Russell Westbrook, but on [...]
Should the Oklahoma City Thunder pull off the unthinkable and squeak past the Golden State Warriors to reach the NBA Finals, their success, while incredibly impressive, might come with an asterisk. Because they’ll have beaten a humanized Stephen Curry. The two-time MVP is playing through this series despite, apparently, favoring the right knee he injured [...]
