Steph Curry to be re-evaluated for knee sprain in 2 weeks



Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors slipped on a wet spot on the court during the end of the first half of game 4 of their series with the Houston Rockets, a team that everyone with eyes knows does not want to be on the court with one another anymore. This is sad because the Warriors are easily the most entertaining team to watch in sports right now.

This injury will be especially devastating if it prevents the team from winning the NBA championship for a second straight year. The Warriors just set the NBA record for wins in a season with 73, a record that was set by the Chicago Bulls in 1995-96. This Chicago Bulls team had the best player in the league at that point (and some might even say he is still the best player in the league), Michael Jordan and other great players such as Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman and 3-point shooting specialist Steve Kerr (who is now the head coach for the Golden State Warriors. The fact that Curry was injured at this point in the season does not mean that they shouldn't have tried to break the Bulls' record, but the cynics will say that the ultimate goal of team sports is to win a championship. I will not be one of those cynics.

The NBA has needed a storyline that will draw the casual fan into watching games, and this great team with a player that is universally loved has done just that. There are no villains in the league now that LeBron James has gone back to Cleveland after a four year stint with the Miami Heat, a move that was vilified at the time because he had left his "home" team, the Cleveland Cavaliers in a one hour special on ESPN in which he infamously said he would be taking his talents to South Beach. Cavaliers fans were so upset that they even began burning their Lebron James jerseys in a fit of rage (no worries, it's not like he'll ever come back to play for the Cavs again).

  1. Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors is one of my favorite players. It’s unfortunate, but wet floors has caused players injuries in the past. I believe Curry will be fine and will take his team far into the play offs.
