Steph Curry's Epic Trash Talk To Chris Paul Goes Viral During Warriors vs. Suns Game

Steph Curry and Chris Paul have engaged in numerous battles over the years, with Curry emerging victorious in most of them.

Having faced off three times in the playoffs, Curry has knocked Paul out of the running twice, with Paul only managing to win once with the LA Clippers in 2014.

During the Golden State Warriors vs. Phoenix Suns game on Monday night, Curry engaged in some remarkable trash talk aimed at Paul, reminding him that it is no longer 2014.

The Clippers and Warriors played an intense seven-game series in 2014, with the Clippers emerging victorious in Game 7.

That series remains the last time Golden State lost in the playoffs before the NBA Finals, with the team going on to win four of the next eight titles.

Despite all of this success, Chris Paul has remained without a championship since that 2014 playoff series.

Since the 2014 playoffs, Steph Curry has won 14 of his 22 regular-season matchups against Chris Paul, as well as both playoff series that the two have played against each other.

Curry's trash talk on Monday night was perfectly timed, as he scored against Paul and reminded the seasoned point guard that it is no longer 2014.

While Curry won the individual matchup against Paul, the Warriors also emerged victorious as a team, securing another home victory and moving into a tie for fifth place with the Clippers.

The team will head to LA for a critical game against them on Wednesday.

Francis Ngannou’s Coach Responds To Illegal Shot Claims After KO Win

Image
Photo: Francis Ngannou (Instagram) Francis Ngannou made a big return to MMA last night with a first-round knockout against Renan Ferreira . The fight was intense, with Ngannou using powerful ground-and-pound to finish Ferreira. However, there’s controversy over whether some of Ngannou's punches hit the back of Ferreira’s head, which is illegal in MMA. Some fans on social media argue that Ngannou should have been disqualified for these strikes. But Ngannou’s coach, Eric Nicksick, doesn’t think the punches were illegal. He said, "I didn’t even hear or see any of that." Nicksick also believes the fight could have been stopped earlier because of the damage Ferreira was taking. Nicksick explained that he thought the referee, Dan Miragliotta, should have stopped the fight when Ngannou started landing heavy blows. He joked, "This guy must owe Dan money," referring to the fact that the fight went on longer than expected. Photo: Francis Ngannou (Instagram) Before the kn

How Taylor Swift Helped Save The U.S. Grand Prix

Image
Photo: Taylor Swift (Instagram) In 2015, the future of the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, was in doubt. Heavy rain from Hurricane Patricia made the race weekend difficult, and fewer fans showed up.  With attendance dropping and state funding cut, the event was struggling. Circuit of the Americas (COTA) chairman Bobby Epstein needed a way to bring more people to the race. In 2016, Swift agreed to perform a concert after the qualifying races. It was her only live show that year, and it drew in 80,000 fans. This boosted ticket sales and brought new energy to the event. A three-day pass to the race, including Swift's concert, started at $150. It was a big success, helping the race weekend attract nearly 270,000 people, more than the previous year. Photo: Taylor Swift (Instagram) The concert wasn’t just about getting more fans to the race. It also brought a new audience—young people, more women, and families. This helped change the type of fans that came to watch Formula One
