Anthony Edwards says he had no issue with Steph Curry being named an All-Star starter over him
“It [doesn’t] really matter bro. It’s Steph Curry bro. The greatest point guard of all time. I ain’t tripping.”

Steve Kerr spent years trying to get this version out of Jonathan Kuminga.
Kuminga is already traded. And now, that role is being filled by someone else.
That player is Gui Santos.
The Brazilian forward was the 55th pick. He spent real time in the G League. No hype, no guarantees, just reps and responsibility. And right now, he’s giving Kerr exactly what he wants from that forward spot.
Over his last six games:
🔹15.7 points
🔹 4.3 rebounds
🔹 3.3 assists
🔹 1.3 steals
🔹 1.0 block
🔹 68.5% from the field
🔹 50.0% from three
🔹 27.6 minutes per game
The trust showed up late against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Santos played Draymond Green’s fourth-quarter minutes and finished with 16 points and 8 rebounds to help spark a 17-point comeback win.
This is the archetype Kerr has always leaned on. A forward who cuts, moves the ball, defends, and doesn’t need plays called for him.
The difference is how Santos learned it.
Drafted near the end of the draft.
Developed in Santa Cruz.
Trained to impact games in small windows.
Now, with Jimmy Butler sidelined and the rotation clearer after the Kuminga trade, Santos is playing the best basketball of his career.
This isn’t luck, he knows his role and he’s playing it really well.Gui Santos has been Hooping in his last 7 games!😤🔥
Richard Jefferson says Kevin Durant did NOT save Steph Curry legacy by joining Warriors
“They won a championship before him. They won a championship after him. As far as I’m concerned, conversation over if could they win without KD”

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver praises Steph Curry:
"Steph is a commissioner's dream... He makes my job easy. He plays with real joy, and he's so relatable as a player. I actually think the growth we've seen in girls and womens basketball is directly related to Steph... I think Steph has been responsible for a surge in growth and participation globally."
