Steph Curry Forced to Issue Apology

👋 {{readername | Hey NBA Fans}}

Steph Curry isn’t someone who feeds into noise, especially in the middle of a season. But this time, the Warriors superstar had no choice but to address the situation. After an unexpected update got fans talking, particularly among Dub Nation, Curry was forced to issue a public apology.

Let’s tip things off…

Stephen Curry has apologized after latest update.

On this day in 1934, one of basketball’s most transformative figures, Bill Russell, was born. He was a symbol of excellence and courage, and redefined what it meant to win. Across a 13-year career with the Boston Celtics, he anchored arguably the greatest dynasty in team sports history, lifting 11 NBA championships, more than any athlete in North American team sports.

To this day, he remains one of, if not the, greatest defender and rebounder in league history. While some people downplay the level of competition at that time, Russell was a freak of an athlete who would have excelled in any era. Just check this otherworldly feat of athleticism, where he literally jumps OVER a player.

But Russell’s legacy stretches far beyond the court. At a time of deep racial inequality in America, he stood unflinchingly for justice and dignity. He was a vocal civil rights advocate, famously walking away from a game in protest of discrimination, marching at the 1963 March on Washington, and using his platform to support social change long before athlete-activism was a trend.

Russell’s influence can be felt in today’s game and society. No wonder the NBA retired his #6 jersey league-wide, making him the only player in NBA history to receive that honor.

Though he’s no longer here, his legacy lives on in all of us who love this game. Today, we honor Bill Russell.
