Stephen A. Smith Delivers Somber Warriors Outlook

by

Stephen A. is one of the biggest names in the sports world. He is mainly known for his work on ESPN’s First Take, however, he got his start as a columnist working in newsrooms. That said, he has seen a lot of basketball during his time on this earth. Consequently, he knows when dynasties are about to fall.

One dynasty that many have kept tabs on is the Warriors dynasty. After winning a fourth championship last season, the Warriors have started off poorly. Additionally, the dynamic with Draymond Green and Jordan Poole has put strain on the roster. These are all realities that Smith is aware of.

Stephen A. On Steph Curry

As we reported earlier this morning, Steph Curry went down with an injury last night. He injured his shoulder and went to the locker room. Subsequently, Curry will need to get an MRI to understand the full extent of the damage. With the Warriors at a record of 14-15, this could be disastrous.

Stephen A. got to speak on this during the 10 AM taping of First Take. As you can imagine, he had a very somber take. In the clip below, Smith admits that if Curry is injured for a significant amount of time, it is over for the Warriors. It was a somber reminder that Curry is playing at an MVP level. Overall, Smith thinks irrelevance would be inevitable for the Warriors.

If you are a fan of the Warriors, this is extremely hard to hear. After all, this team was a dynasty, and now, it seems like it could fall apart. However, Curry could end up being okay, which would negate everything that is being said here.

Stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the basketball world. Additionally, let us know what you think of the Warriors’ chances without Curry, in the comments below.

Steph Curry Goes Down With Shoulder Injury: Watch

by

One could make the argument that Steph Curry is the most valuable player this season. He has been carrying this Warriors team on his back, although they still have a losing record. Of course, this is not his fault, however, it might be seen as a blip on his resume.

Over the course of the last two games, the Warriors have truly struggled. Last night against the Bucks, the team was not very good. Moreover, they played against Indiana last night, and it was more of the same as they were being blown out at halftime.

Steph Curry Goes Down

Things eventually went from bad to worse for the team as Curry experienced a shoulder injury late in the third quarter. As you can see in the clips below, Curry was immediately clutching at his shoulder. Furthermore, after being looked at by trainers, he was told to go to the locker room.

Curry was never able to return to the game, which is certainly a scary situation for the team. Without Steph on the floor, the Warriors weren’t able to do much as their offense went stagnant. Overall, it is just the worst situation for the Warriors to be in right now.

Moving forward now, Curry will have to get an MRI on his shoulder. This will reveal the extent of the damage that has been done. For now, the only thing the Warriors can do is remain optimistic that he will be back soon. If not, this Warriors losing skid could get a whole lot worse.

Draymond Green Accuses Fan Of Hurling Death Threats

by

Draymond Green is one of the more polarizing players in the entire NBA. Fans of the Golden State Warriors love him, however, fans around the league have a much less favorable view of him. Unfortunately, this leads to some fan reactions that are simply unacceptable.

If you’ve been watching the NBA since the bubble, you would know that fans have gotten bolder. Some of them are simply out of pocket, and subsequently, we’ve seen an uptick in lifetime bans. Overall, it is a hostile environment for players like Green.

Draymond Green Gets Fan Ejected

Last night, Draymond was in Milwaukee where he took on the Bucks alongside his Warriors teammates. As you will see in the clips below, he was met with some jeers from a fan who was courtside at the baseline. Overall, Green was not happy with what was being said.

This ultimately led to him going up to the referee and pointing to the man. Eventually, the ref called security over and the man was promptly ejected.

Following the game, Green told reporters that the man had made death threats. When made aware of this, the ref felt as though action needed to be taken immediately.

“There are no real consequences,” Green said. “Yeah, you can’t come back to the game, or even if you get arrested, nothing really happens … you just hope it gets to a point where these leagues can work with legislators to implement laws because that’s the only thing that’s really going to correct the issue.”

Needless to say, Green is not too optimistic about what is going to happen, moving forward. This is just a bad situation for everyone, and it will be interesting to see what kind of punishment that fan receives.

Stay tuned to HNHH as this is currently a developing story.

Fan Removed from Bucks-Warriors Game for Allegedly Threatening Draymond Green

Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors visited the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night. During the game, Green could be seen speaking to a fan. Moments later, Green alerted the official of the conversation, leading to the fan’s ejection.

The incident occurred in the third quarter as Green lined up on the free throw line while Giannis Antentokounmpo was shooting. In the postgame, Green stated the fan said, “some threatening things to my life.”

Green stated he once thought about escalating the confrontation but kept his composure and spoke to a referee. The ref would get security and have the fan escorted out of the game.

“Some people look at NBA players like they’re superhuman,” Green said to ESPN. “That they’re this larger-than-life figure. So you come, and you get someone to say something back, and they get fined. They go home and laugh with their buddies.

“I think it’s just one of those things when you can hold it in and get to the ref and get them out; it’s great.”

Steph Curry Uses His “Sports Illustrated” Speech To Shout Out Brittney Griner

by

Steph Curry had a massive year. Just a few months ago, he won his fourth NBA title, this time, against the Boston Celtics. Additionally, he broke the record for most career three-point shots. It was a phenomenal record to break, and it goes to show just how good Curry is.

Consequently, Curry has been awarded Sportsperson of the Year by Sports Illustrated. The awards ceremony for this honor took place last night, and Curry got to make a big speech. During this speech, Curry made sure to shout out Brittney Griner, who was recently freed from a Russian prison.

Steph Curry Speaks

As you can see in the clip below, provided by TMZ, Curry was excited about Griner’s release. Additionally, he noted that this couldn’t have happened without the activists who advocated for the WNBA star.

“We are glad she’s home, we’re glad she’s reunited with her family,” Curry said. “It’s a constant reminder for everybody continuing to use their platforms to speak on issues that are meaningful and can move the needle.”

Furthermore, Curry thanked President Joe Biden. He also made sure to acknowledge others who have been incarcerated abroad. Needless to say, it was a very poignant and topical speech.

“Thank you to President Biden’s administration for being a part of that fight,” Curry said. “But, it’s also a reminder that we all need to stay engaged in the fight to protect American citizens at home and abroad who are wrongfully detained, and we can continue to be engaged in that fight.”

Steph Curry Reveals If Viral Shot Video Was Fake

by

Steph Curry is easily the greatest shooter in the history of the NBA. Even if he were to retire right now, he would be able to keep that designation. For now, however, he is still very much in the league, and he is killing it at that. Overall, it is a good time to be Curry.

Unfortunately, his team hasn’t been spectacular. The championship hangover is in full effect, and the Warriors dynasty is starting to come to an end. Despite all of this, Curry is definitely impressing on the court. He’s running up his numbers, and his record will be hard to beat.

Steph Curry Goes Viral

Recently, Curry went viral with the video down below. As you can see, he can be seen chucking up and nailing five full-court shots in a row. This is a feat that seems to be pretty impossible, however, Curry was able to pull it off, or at least people thought. Subsequently, internet sleuths began to challenge the validity of the clip.

Recently, Curry admitted that this was faked as part of some video content with Sports Illustrated. While he did make a couple of shots, there was no way this was legitimate.

“I’ll let them be the judge of that,” Curry said. “But it’s an ultimate compliment to probably be amazed by it but not think it’s outlandish that it could be or couldn’t be real. We had some fun with it. The Sports Illustrated team coming with some heat.”

The fact that the video was believable truly is a testament to just how spectacular Curry is. Unfortunately, his most loyal fans will have to admit that their hero isn’t as otherworldly as they may have thought.

Let us know what you thought of the video, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports world.

P-Lo Parades With The NBA Champion Warriors In His Celebratory ‘One Thing’ Video

by

The Bay Area takes care of their own, no doubt. It’s why Pinole-native P-Lo, the surging Filipino-American rapper, has been a fixture at Golden State Warriors, Oakland A’s and San Francisco 49ers games for years. At this past year’s NBA finals, he performed at halftime of the Warriors’ Game 1 against the Boston Celtics at the Chase Center in San Francisco. P-Lo embodies the Warriors’ “gold-blooded” ethos, so when the team took home the 2022 NBA championship, the rapper knew he had to scrap the footage for his soon-to-be-released “One Thing” video and re-cut it with footage of him celebrating with the fanbase and team at the Championship parade in Downtown San Francisco.

The clip opens with cuts from the original video of P-Lo sitting on a field goal post at the San Francico 49ers’ Levi’s Stadium. Words then flash on the screen saying, “So we shot this music video a few months ago… BUT then the Warriors won the NBA championship…” Steph Curry raises a trophy and the new cut of “One Thing” begins. P-Lo rides down Market St in a convertible Benz as part of the team’s parade caravan. He daps up fans, players, and then performs at the Parade Plaza in front of the Chase Center. He smiles through a shiny grill from ear-to-ear, rapping, “They wanna see me down, but I’m runnin’ commas up.” And it feels like nothing short of a triumphant moment for the rapper who ingrained himself into the Championship fanbase.

“One Thing” comes out in the lead up to P-Lo’s new album, Stunna, due out this summer. Watch the video above.

SOURCE SPORTS: Golden State Warriors Win 4th Ring in 8 Years, Steph Curry Named MVP

The Larry O’Brien trophy is headed back to The Bay Area. The Golden State Warriors walked into Boston’s TD Garden and beat the Celtics in Game 6 of the NBA Finals 103-90, securing another championship to their dynastic run. For the first time in his historic career, Stephen Curry was named Finals MVP.

As the win became realistic for the Warriors, the emotions were clear on Steph Curry’s face as he fought back tears, eventually letting them flow in the game’s final seconds.

“This one is definitely different because of the three years of baggage we carried coming out of that Game 6 in 2019,” Curry said in postgame. “I can say it now, I don’t know how many teams could carry that as long as we have with the expectations of comparing us now to teams of past and make it to the mountaintop again.”

That baggage included injuries to Curry, Draymond Green and the two-year absence of Klay Thompson due to major leg injuries, the departure of Kevin Durant, losing in the 2019 NBA Finals, blending new pieces, relocating to a new stadium in San Francisco after years of being based in Oakland and some of the toughest competition in NBA history.

“People called me crazy. I said championship or bust because I saw how we came out of the gates,” Thompson said. “I knew we had a chance to do something special, and here we are. It’s so incredible. Wow.”

In close-out Game 6, Curry scored 24 points on 12-of-21 shooting, dropping six threes in just one game after going 0-9 from long range. Green added a box score stuffing 12 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
