Stephen Curry calls out Western Conference star as the most athletic player in the NBA. compares him to Russell Westbrook. Stephen Curry, one of the most iconic and influential players in NBA history, recently gave some major props to a Western Conference rival, naming him the most athletic player in the league today. The four-time NBA champion has carved out a legacy as one of the greatest to ever play the game. Just ask former all-star Jeff Teague, who boldly claimed Curry has surpassed Magic Johnson. or even former US President Barack Obama, who included Steph in his all-time starting five. That’s the kind of respect Curry commands, not just from fans, but from legends across generations. Known for being a nightmare for defenders, Curry’s presence on the court is enough to make even elite defenders like Alex Caruso uneasy. But when asked who he thinks stands out most for their athleticism, Curry didn’t hesitate. In a recent appearance on the good good YouTube channel, Steph named Jaw Morant as the most athletic player in the NBA right now. I think pound-for-pound Jaw’s the most athletic guy in the league, Curry said, adding Russell Westbrook in his prime. John Wall before the injuries, we always talked about those guys as the most athletic in the league. Coming from Curry, that’s high praise. He specifically highlighted Morant’s jaw-dropping explosiveness, the way he can elevate and attack the rim with fearless intensity. Jamarant, high-f flyier with something to prove. Despite his unreal athletic talent, Jamarant’s recent seasons have been turbulent. Off-court controversies have at times overshadowed his oncourt brilliance, forcing him to miss chunks of time and putting his career momentum on pause. Even last season, after returning to play, Morant’s name often made headlines for the wrong reasons, including a celebration so controversial, the NBA opened an investigation. But here’s the thing. We’ve seen what Morant can do when he’s locked in. He’s electric, mustwatch, the kind of player who can take over games and leave crowds speechless. As the next season approaches, there’s hope and excitement that Jarant can leave the distractions behind and remind the world why he was once considered the future of the league. And if you needed any more reason to believe in Morant’s comeback, just remember Stephen Curry, the greatest shooter of all time, sees him as the most athletic player in the game today. Curry’s comments sparked immediate buzz across the NBA community. Fans, analysts, and former players took to social media to weigh in, and many agreed. John’s combination of speed, vertical leap, and sheer fearlessness makes him a unique force, even in a league full of worldclass athletes. A statement that resonated. ESPN analysts discussed the remark on NBA Today, noting how rare it is for a player of Curry stature to openly single out a rival, especially someone from a team that has given the Warriors serious competition in recent years. Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies have had heated playoff clashes with Golden State, and there’s no love lost between the two squads. Yet, Curry’s praise cut through the rivalry and highlighted a level of respect that goes beyond wins and losses. for Steph to say that about Jaw. That means something, said former NBA champion Richard Jefferson. He’s not just talking about highlight dunks. He’s talking about impact. Jaw’s athleticism changes games. Westbrook and Wall comparisons add historical weight. Curry’s comparison of Morant to peak Russell Westbrook and pre-injjury John Wall wasn’t just flattery. It placed Jaw in elite historical company. Westbrook, known for his triple double dominance and relentless motor, was once the league’s most explosive player. Wall before injuries derailed his career, had a first step so quick it left defenders frozen. Morant brings that same kind of edge. But what makes him special, according to Curry and others, is how he combines that athleticism with creativity, body control, and an unshakable confidence. All at just 6’2 in. A pivotal season ahead. As the 2025 NBA season approaches, all eyes are on Morant. After serving a suspension last season and facing continued scrutiny for off-c court behavior, this could be a make or break year, not just for his public image, but for the future of the Grizzlies franchise. Memphis has built its identity around Morant. His energy fuels the team’s fast-paced, fearless style. But after multiple controversies and a shortened season, the question now is, can he lead not just with Flair, but with maturity, there’s reason to be hopeful. Morant has reportedly been working hard this off season, training privately, staying off social media, and focusing on getting back to peak form. Teammates and coaches have praised his renewed commitment and leadership behind the scenes. And now, with a vote of confidence from a legend like Stephen Curry, Morant has an opportunity to reset the narrative. The league is watching. The NBA thrives on rivalries, storylines, and redemption arcs. John’s journey from rising star to controversial figure to potential comeback hero has all the makings of a must-watch drama. If he can stay focused and let his game do the talking, this could be the season where he reclaims his place among the league’s elite. And if he does, don’t be surprised if Stephven Curry’s words end up sounding like early prophecy. Warriors miss painful final chance to reunite with 12x all-star as options dwindle fast. The Golden State Warriors enter this off seasonason with a clear goal, find a veteran defensive presence to anchor their bench and bring stability to a rotation that lacked consistency last season. But instead of striking early, the front office has stayed quiet. And now one of their best chances at adding a proven leader is officially gone. On Monday, Chris Paul agreed to return to the Los Angeles Clippers, likely where he’ll close out his legendary career. For Warriors fans, it’s a bittersweet moment. It’s not just that the team missed out on Paul, it’s that they lost one of the last truly game ready veterans who could have made a real difference, especially on a minimum contract. As sports analyst Chris Brousard colorfully put it, Chris Paul going back to the Clippers is like Rake and Big Daddy Kane forming a hip-hop super group in 2025. It’s poetic, nostalgic, and packed with power, and it could have happened in the Bay, the one that got away. To be fair, Paul had made it clear throughout the free agency process that he wanted to be closer to his family in Southern California. That alone made it unlikely that Golden State could lure him back after his short stint last season. But now, seeing him join a loaded Clipper squad alongside Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, and the newly signed Bradley Beal makes the loss even more painful. Paul might be 39, but he’s far from done. After 20 seasons, he announced this would likely be his final year in the NBA, and he wants to go out competing. Last season with the Spurs, he started all 82 games, mentoring a young roster, and putting up steady numbers, 8.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 7.4 assists per game. Those are valuable numbers for any contending team, especially one looking to stabilize second units. What could have been in Golden State? Chris Paul would have been a perfect fit off the bench for the Warriors, especially to help offset the defensive lapses and streaky performances of players like Brandon Podzky and Buddy Heield. A minimum deal for Paul could have brought leadership, ball control, and an on-court coach who knows how to close games. Instead, he’s heading to a direct Western Conference rival. And with the Clippers adding Beal and the Lakers signing Marcus Smart following his buyout, the Warriors options for experienced high IQ guards are rapidly disappearing. Slim pickings for the Warriors right now. Golden State’s most likely fallback appears to be DeAnthony Melton, who technically signed a one-year deal with the team last season, but was flipped to Brooklyn as part of a cap balancing move. Melton recently suffered an ACL tear that ended his season early. And while his defensive upside is appealing, his injury history raises serious concerns about durability. If the Warriors are serious about returning to title contention, or even just staying competitive in the hyperstacked West, they need more than hope. They need proven players who can step in and contribute immediately. Paul could have been exactly that, a bittersweet ending for Warriors fans. Seeing Chris Paul reunite with the Clippers and likely retire there stings for more reasons than one. Not only did the team miss a chance to strengthen its core with a future Hall of Famer, but they also watched that player land in the lap of a conference rival that’s already deeper and more dangerous than ever. It may have never been a sure thing, but in an off seasonason where the Warriors have made more headlines for what they haven’t done than what they have, missing out on Paul feels like a missed opportunity they may come to regret. Fallout and frustration in the Bay. The ripple effects of Paul’s decision are already being felt in the Warriors fan base and front office. Social media lit up with reactions ranging from disappointment to concern. Many fans had hoped the franchise would move with more urgency this summer after falling short in the 2024 playoffs. Instead, Golden State has been largely inactive, watching high IQ veterans sign elsewhere while their own depth chart remains in flux. For a team still trying to squeeze one more title run out of the Steph Curry era, time is clearly running out. And now with Paul off the table and Marcus Smart joining the Lakers, the options are thinner than ever. The free agent market for veteran guards is drying up quickly. Insiders have reported that the Warriors were quietly monitoring the situations of names like Kyle Lowry, Dylon Wright, and even a possible trade route for TJ McConnell. But none of those moves have materialized. And as the Western Conference continues to load up, the Warriors risk falling further behind. Front office pressure mounts. It’s no secret that Warriors ownership has been under increasing pressure since the departure of Bob Meyers. While GM Mike Dunlevy Jr. has shown flashes of vision like last year’s acquisition of Buddy Heield, the current offseason has brought more questions than answers. Can this team win with its current roster? Is the front office prepared to make bold moves to extend the championship window? Or are they heading toward a soft rebuild without saying it out loud? The loss of Chris Paul, a player who already had chemistry with the Warriors core, only intensifies those questions. Meanwhile, the Clippers are all in. On the other side of California, the Clippers are making a very different kind of statement. By bringing Paul back and adding Bradley Beal to an already stacked veteran core, they’ve signaled their intention to go allin for a title this season. Yes, injuries have haunted the Clippers in recent years. But if healthy, this is a squad with elite offensive firepower experience. And now a future Hall of Fame point guard looking for a storybook ending. With Tailoo at the helm and a deep bench behind the Stars, Paul’s return could be the missing piece that finally pushes the Clippers over the top. What’s next for Golden State? For the Warriors, the next few weeks are critical. They’ll need to act swiftly and smartly to address glaring holes in the rotation, especially if they want to compete with powerhouses like the Nuggets, Suns, Clippers, and even the retoolled Lakers. One possibility being discussed internally, according to league sources, is reuniting with veteran Contavius Caldwell Pope or exploring overseas options for backcourt depth. However, these would be stop gap solutions, not game-changing moves. It’s hard to shake the feeling that the Warriors let something slip through their fingers with Chris Paul. He wasn’t just a veteran with playoff poise. He was a familiar face who already understood the system, had the trust of Curry and Draymond, and could have brought calm to the storm when the offense stalled. Instead, that calm and that experience will now be wearing Clippers blue. Warriors might just make Jimmy Butler’s wish come true. If the Al Horford rumors are real, this might be exactly what Golden State needs. If there’s one thing the early days of Jimmy Butler’s time with the Warriors have taught us, it’s this. The sixth time all-star thrives when he has reliable shooters around him. The space he creates in the paint through sheer physicality, footwork, and playmaking demands teammates who can stretch the floor and punish defenses from deep. That’s why head coach Steve Kerr has often spoken about the challenges of integrating Butler into lineups with Draymond Green and Jonathan Kaminga. It’s also why the idea of Al Horford joining Golden State feels so compelling, not just as a smart basketball fit, but as a perfect partner for Butler at this stage of his career. Horford could be the teammate Butlers always needed. For years, Jimmy Butler has carried teams without ever having a true floor spacing big next to him. Someone who could unlock his full offensive potential. He had an aging Kevin Love in Cleveland and a young Bobby Portoris in Chicago. But a true pick and pop big with high IQ passing and championship experience. That’s something he’s never really had. Enter Al Horford. According to NBA insider Mark Stein, Horford and DeAnthony Melton are still expected to land in the Bay Area, even though no official signings have been announced yet. “Yes, we’re three weeks into free agency,” Stein wrote. “But I still believe Al Horford and the Anthony Melton will end up in Golden State once their signings are made public and official. It would be a major get for the Warriors and a dream scenario for Butler. Despite being on opposite sides of playoff battles for years, Horford and Butler have a unique history. Butler has played against Horford in 66 career games, more than almost any other opponent besides Brook Lopez and Marcus Smart. Turning that longtime rivalry into a partnership could be the kind of narrative twist that changes everything for Golden State’s upcoming season. Horford’s shooting could be the key. Even at age 39, Horford is still producing at a high level, particularly when it comes to perimeter shooting. Last season, he attempted 5.2 two threes per game, the second highest of his career, converting at a strong clip. Over the past three seasons, his catch and shoot numbers have been elite, 35.9%, 42.9%, and 44.8% from deep, 39%, 42.4%, and 48.8% from the corners. That’s not just solid, that’s elite floor spacing for a big man. It’s exactly the kind of outlet Jimmy Butler needs when drawing double teams inside the paint. And it’s the type of shooting that would allow Steve Cerr to run more versatile, free flowing lineups, especially with Butler, Green, and Horford operating together in the front court. It’s no coincidence that Quinton Post, who led his team in scoring thanks to Horford’s vision and passing, received more assists to FG connections from Horford than any other teammate last year. That’s the kind of unselfish connective play that could mesh beautifully with Golden State’s motionheavy offense. A duo that could still do damage. Yes, Horford and Butler are both on the back ends of their careers. But they’re not done. In fact, together they might just prolong each other’s prime. Horford shooting and spacing could keep Butler fresher and more efficient. Butler’s physical presence and leadership could lighten Horford’s load on the defensive end. And both bring championship level poise and maturity that the Warriors desperately need as they try to squeeze one more deep run out of the Steph Curry era. If Golden State does land Horford, they’ll be giving Butler something he’s never truly had, a front court partner who compliments rather than complicates his strengths. And in a western conference that’s only getting deeper, smarter additions like this may be the only way to keep pace. In the end, it’s more than just a smart signing. It’s the kind of move that could finally give Jimmy Butler the support he’s earned and the system he’s been waiting for. A move that could reshape Golden State’s identity. If the Warriors do manage to bring Al Horford to San Francisco, this move would signal a subtle but significant shift in how the team is choosing to evolve. After years of relying heavily on high-tempo offense and undersized rotations, this version of the Warriors appears more focused on control, maturity, and matchup flexibility. Horford may not fill up the highlight reels, but his skill set is tailorade for post-season basketball and for helping Jimmy Butler play to his strengths in high leverage moments. With Horford spacing the floor and anchoring the backline, the Warriors could roll out lineups that are switchable, smart, and spacing friendly, giving them better answers against elite front courts like Denver’s Nicola Joic or the Clippers reloaded roster. And let’s not forget Horford’s presence could also be a stabilizing force for Jonathan Kaminga, who continues to be one of the most high upside but high variance players in the rotation. The mentorship Horford could provide might be just as valuable as his oncourt production. Fan excitement builds, but pressure mounts. News of Horford’s rumored arrival has already started to energize Warriors fans online, many of whom see the veteran big man as a nononsense high IQ contributor who’s been through wars and knows how to win. It also offers some optimism in what’s otherwise been a frustratingly quiet free agency period for Golden State. Still, expectations are high, and fair or not, every new addition will be judged against the context of one pressing question. Can this team still compete for a championship? The addition of Jimmy Butler signaled that the Warriors are still in win now mode. Bringing in Horford would reinforce that mentality, but it won’t be enough on its own. With Western Conference rivals like the Clippers, Lakers, Timberwolves, and Nuggets continuing to upgrade, the pressure on the front office to act decisively and creatively has never been greater. Leaguewide reaction, respect, caution, and intrigue. Around the league, the potential Horford to Golden State move is being viewed with a mix of admiration and caution. Multiple NBA insiders have noted that Horford’s leadership and postseason track record would be hugely beneficial to any contender, but they also acknowledge the risks. At 39, Horford isn’t the same player he was 5 years ago, and the Warriors would need to manage his minutes carefully. He’s best used in bursts with a clear role and ideally not overtaxed in back-to-back games. But paired with Butler, Green, and Curry, three of the most competitive players in the game, Horford wouldn’t need to carry a heavy load. He just need to do what he’s always done. Make the right plays, hit open shots, and hold the line defensively. That alone could be game-changing. Looking ahead, is this the start of something bigger? If the Warriors do land both Horford and Melton, as reported, it could set the stage for one final all-in push with their veteran core and a more balanced roster that blends youth, experience, and playoff savvy. There are still questions to answer. Will they pursue another shooter? Could a mid-season trade be in the works? Will Kaminga take the leap everyone’s waiting for? But one thing is clear. If Horford signs, it’s not just a feel-good story. It’s a strategic chess move, one that aligns perfectly with Jimmy Butler’s needs and Golden State’s hopes of writing one more chapter in their dynastic run. In a league where every edge matters, Al Horford might just be the final piece to bring out the best in Butler and remind the NBA that the Warriors aren’t done just yet. Why Jonathan Kaminga wants a $30 million deal now instead of waiting to become an unrestricted free agent next season. The Golden State Warriors and Jonathan Kaminga find themselves at a crossroads this off season when Warriors head coach Steve Kerr decided to remove Kaminga from the rotation right before the 2025 playoffs. It sent shock waves through both the player and the organization. Naturally, rumors linking Kaminga to other teams have swirled all summer long. But since Kaminga is a restricted free agent, the Warriors hold the power to match any offer sheet he receives, keeping them in control. So, is there any way the Warriors can convince Kaminga to stay? They might be able to, but even if that happens, word is Kaminga could still be gone by the NBA trade deadline. The sticking point, money. Jonathan Kaminga is reportedly asking for a hefty $30 million per year, while Golden State’s offer hovers closer to $20 million. Even if both sides agreed to a temporary truce to start the 2025 to 26 NBA season, a long-term deal would have to be hammered out soon. NBA insider Brett Seagull broke down the situation bluntly. Kaminga’s camp wants a big deal, $30 million or more, and they don’t want to return to the Warriors. Golden State wants a smaller deal, around $20 million, so they can trade him if needed because the market isn’t there, Seagull shared on X, formerly Twitter. Seagull also pointed out that the Warriors are hesitant to involve Kaminga in trade talks with teams like the Chicago Bulls who have solid pieces like Aodo Sunmu. Both sides have valid reasons here. The Warriors want to keep their flexibility and avoid being locked into a big contract they can’t move before the trade deadline. Meanwhile, Kuminga sees things differently and for good reason. Seagull explains why Kaminga is pushing for a bigger payday. Now, some believe signing a shorter deal would be best for Kaminga, letting him boost his value next season and then become an unrestricted free agent in 2026. But he’s worried. He’s not sure he even wants to return. And what if he gets hurt? That’s why he wants the money now. Given that Kaminga missed 31 games last season due to an ankle injury, it’s no surprise he’s hesitant to delay the payday. If he aggravates that injury or suffers another setback before hitting unrestricted free agency, his market value could plummet. At 22 years old, Kuminga’s future is still bright, but he’s looking to protect himself financially today. And that’s why this standoff with Golden State is so intense. The next few weeks will be crucial. Will the Warriors and Kaminga find middle ground? Or will this talented young player be moved elsewhere, chasing the deal and opportunity he believes he deserves? This contract standoff has stirred plenty of speculation around the NBA landscape. For the Warriors, losing Kaminga would be a significant blow to their young core, especially as they look to balance veteran leadership with emerging talent. Kaminga’s combination of athleticism, versatility, and defensive potential makes him a prized asset, one they’d rather keep than trade away for scraps. However, from Kaminga’s perspective, the risk of waiting for unrestricted free agency and potentially facing injury or a drop in performance makes locking in a lucrative deal now a smart move. This kind of financial security at 22 years old isn’t just about money. It’s about peace of mind in a notoriously uncertain career. The situation also highlights a growing trend in the NBA where young players are increasingly savvy about managing their careers and financial futures. Gone are the days when players simply accepted team decisions. Today’s stars and rising talents know their worth and aren’t afraid to negotiate aggressively. Moreover, the ongoing tugofwar could impact the Warriors roster construction moving forward. If Golden State can’t reach a compromise, they may explore trade options before the deadline to recoup assets, potentially shifting the team’s dynamics and championship window. The ripple effects extend beyond just the Warriors and Kaminga. Other NBA teams are watching closely, ready to pounce if a deal or trade opportunity arises. Forefront offices leaguewide. Kuminga’s case serves as a reminder that balancing player development, contract negotiations, and long-term team goals is an intricate puzzle. Meanwhile, fans are left to wonder how this saga will unfold. Will Kaminga stay and flourish in Golden State system, or will he seek a fresh start elsewhere, aiming to prove his worth on a new stage? One thing is clear, the stakes couldn’t be higher for both parties. The next moves in this negotiation will not only define Kaminga’s career trajectory, but could also shape the future of the Warriors franchise. As training camp approaches and the NBA trade deadline looms, all eyes will remain on this unfolding story. Because it’s about much more than just a contract. It’s about trust, value, and the delicate balance of ambition and loyalty in today’s NBA.
