Happy 33rd birthday to the NBA s greatest shooter ever!
Young Wardell Stephen Curry picked up a basketball nearly as soon as he was able to walk & took to the sport without any push from his own NBA father Dell Curry.
Fans of Steph now wonder if this innate love of the game is simply a Curry gene that is now being passed on to Steph s own children. Who knows, Curry s son Canon might just be a 3rd generation NBA shooter come 2040! #dubnation

OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) On the one-year anniversary of Breonna Taylor s death, Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson posted a heartfelt message on social media in her honor, and in honor of others he says were murdered for simply living their lives.
The clash decided which of them would reach the FIFA World Cup
‘Golden Legs’ and late drama had big says in the outcome
In 1954, there was a preliminary competition in Asia for the first time in the history of the FIFA World Cup™. With Israel entering the European qualifiers and Thailand withdrawn after the draw, arch-rivals Japan and Korea Republic were left in Group 13 to fight for the right to represent the continent.
The Far Eastern affair was supposed to be played on a home-and-away basis, but then South Korean president Syngman Rhee was against competing with past invaders in principle, and was adamant the Japanese would not be allowed on Korean soil. Ultimately, however, Rhee permitted the national team to play both legs in Japan – but on one condition: Be prepared to throw yourselves into the ocean if you lose.
