Golden State Warriors fans will be relieved to hear what Stephen Curry had to say about his NBA future.
Like many veterans during All-Star weekend, Curry was asked about his thoughts on retirement. In his 15th season with the Warriors, the 35-year-old guard said he has thought about the end of his career, but he doesn’t think he’s “anywhere close” to being done yet.
“I think about [retirement] all the time,” Curry said after the NBA All-Star Game on Sunday.

Nike has signed 13-year-old soccer phenom McKenna “Mak” Whitham to a name, image and likeness deal — making her the youngest athlete ever to ink an NIL deal with the sports apparel giant.
The soccer prodigy is homeschooled and will graduate with the class of 2028. She plays for the Southern California club team Slammers FC HB Koge and is a member of the U.S. under-15 youth national team.

It was goals galore during Monday’s President’s Day tilt between the Vancouver Canucks and Minnesota Wild, with the two sides combining for a whopping 17 goals during the Wild’s 10–7 victory.
Quality goaltending was hard to come by on Monday afternoon, as the 17 goals were netted from just 49 combined shot attempts. In fact, three players finished the game with hat tricks, the first time that feat has been accomplished during an NHL game in 32 years.

Brooklyn has big plans to add an All-Star talent to pair with Mikal Bridges, but the current Nets were burdened with a sluggish offense and on a road to nowhere.

There were clear signs that Brooklyn was confident in Jacque Vaughn as the long-term coaching solution, but life moves fast — especially in the Association.

About 45 minutes or so into our conversation, Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy hit me with a point of clarification—in the bedlam of the postgame locker room, he and I had gone over Kansas City’s fourth-and-1 play call, and I was actually a bit off in how I saw it.
I’d asked if it was a zone-read concept. He said it was. Technically, conceptually, that wasn’t wrong.

JJ Redick puts the “old man” in The Old Man and the Three. 
The ESPN analyst recently aired a major grievance about the NBA All-Star Game that may be shared among the older generation of basketball fans.
After Sunday’s offensive slugfest, some fans complained about the lack of competitiveness in the game, which featured the highest score total in NBA history (397). 
Redick, however, had a very different bone to pick.
In the latest episode of his podcast, The Old Man and the Three, the 15-year NBA veteran went off on the game’s lack of punctuality in a 30-second rant.
