May 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Stephen Curry is venturing into the spirits industry by introducing Gentleman’s Cut Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. After years of careful crafting, this highly anticipated and well-aged bourbon will be globally launched in May at The Boone County Distilling Co., following its initial bottling.

“Celebrations take on many different forms, from intimate gatherings to major milestones, and at the center of each memorable moment is a spirit rooted in history and tradition,” said Stephen Curry. “I’m proud to have helped carefully craft a new signature Kentucky Straight Bourbon, Gentleman’s Cut. This rich, complex and bold bourbon is the perfect offering to commemorate life’s great occasions, and will be part of a raised-glass toasting moment in the lives of my fans, friends and family.”

The name Gentleman’s Cut reflects the artistry involved in creating an exceptional spirit and Stephen Curry’s remarkable prowess on and off the basketball court. Driven by his genuine love for high-quality bourbon, Curry was actively engaged in every aspect of the production, including manufacturing, blending, aging, packaging, and marketing. The label of this bourbon carries a heartfelt message personally written by Curry himself.

The bourbon production process, including distillation, aging, and bottling, takes place at Game Changer Distillery in Boone County, KY. Stephen Curry’s SC30 Inc. joined forces with John Schwartz, the owner of the renowned Amuse Bouche Winery in Napa Valley, to establish a collaborative venture with Boone County Distilling Co.. This distillery has long been recognized as a trailblazer in the craft spirits industry of the region. Situated on the Kentucky Craft Bourbon Trail, Boone County Distilling, established in 1833, has revived the craft’s time-honored traditions, pride, and dedication, carrying forward a legacy of producing high-quality spirits using grain-to-glass methods.

“In close collaboration with Stephen, we produced a high-quality aged bourbon offered at a great value that will resonate with bourbon connoisseurs and help grow the craft bourbon category to our global audience,” said Schwartz.

Gentleman’s Cut will retail at $79.99 per 750ml.

Sundance Film Festival revealed their 2023 autumn schedule today, which included Stephen Curry’s new documentary, Underrated. The documentary is directed by award-winning director Peter Nicks and produced by world-renowned Ryan Coogler and Erick Peyton.

The documentary takes an intimate look at NBA superstar Stephen Curry’s unlikely coming of age at tiny Davidson College, where the team had a thrilling run in the 2008 NCAA tournament under the tutelage of coach Bob McKillop.

Milwaukee Bucks Lead Boycott of NBA Playoff Games in Wake Of Jacob Blake Shooting

Heading into NBA Media Day, crowning the best player in the NBA is simple for Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antentokounmpo. Speaking to the media, he thinks the top spot goes to Stephen Curry.

“I think the best player in the world is the person that is the last man standing,” Antetokounmpo said. “It’s the person that takes his team to the Finals, the finish line and helps them win the game. … that’s how I view it. I believe the best player in the world is Steph Curry.”

In various offseason lists, Antentokounmpo comes in pole position, but that means nothing to him.

“I got jealous of Golden State, seeing them in the parade and the ESPYs,” Giannis added. “You know that feeling now. You know what is getting stripped away from you.”

With that fire in his heart, good luck to the Philadelphia 76ers, who open against the Bucks on Oct. 20.

Giannis says “am I one of the best players in the world? Yes. But am I the best in the world? No. That’s the player that takes his team to the finish line. That’s Steph Curry. Until next year.” #Bucks pic.twitter.com/331sjK1pDs

SOURCE SPORTS: Stephen Curry Says the Warriors Explored Bringing Back Kevin Durant This Summer

September 12, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Earlier in the summer, when Kevin Durant was still available via trade, there were rumors of a possible reunion with the Golden State Warriors. Speaking with Rolling Stone, Warriors star guard Stephen Curry revealed the team did explore the idea of adding Durant back into the fold.

“There was a conversation internally amongst us about ‘If he was available, would you?’” Curry said. “Every team has those conversations, and obviously in our situation, they’re gonna call me and ask me, ‘How do you feel about it?’

“I was never hesitant. The idea of playing with KD and knowing who he is as a person, from our history in those three years, I think KD’s a really good dude. I think he is misunderstood. I think he has had certain things happen in his life that hurt his ability to trust people around him, in a sense of making him feel safe at all times. So all of those things, I understand, having played with him and gotten to know him. I love that dude.”

Ultimately the deal didn’t happen, and Durant is back in Brooklyn, which Curry was telling Snoop Dogg was the best deal for him.

“Man, he thinks that they’re gonna go to teams — like if he went to Phoenix — that they’re gonna be the same team if he’s there,” Curry said to Snoop.

Experiencing it firsthand and meeting these talented athletes at a time when doors are opening for them in the industry was truly inspiring. I’m grateful to be part of that journey alongside everyone else who made the first iteration of this special program possible.”

Ashley Shaw and Roman Solomon won the girls’ and boys’ Curry Cup titles, respectively, and were named the UNDERRATED tour champions on August 30. The Curry Cup was the finale of the season’s pro-league type games, where thirteen boys and girls were picked to play golf.
