And Johnny Football is behind bars tonight

Probably the best place for him. Is it in relation to the assault against his girlfriend?

Steph Curry wins unanimous MVP, only 3rd unanimous MVP ever with Gretzky and Tom Brady.

He put on some show last night in OT vs Portland!

There have been loads of them in baseball but yes, phenomenal stuff from curry. 40 points, almost a triple double off the bench. While rusty.

It's gonna be some contract next summer for him, *only* making about $12m a year this year

Thank god he is back, he really is unbelievable.

Hopefully the Spurs- Thunder games go to 7 and Warriors finish the job tomorrow.

Saying that the Cav's have fairly picked up their play recently and will be pretty formidable opponents.

He's something like the 61st best paid player. some of the muppets about him is a joke. Dwight Howard being 4th on the list is one of them.

You think that's bad, dig out the story on Google where his endorsement contract with Nike was up for renewal. Looks like an even bigger car crash now than it was then.

For Nike or for him?

For Nike...

Basketball is always like this though. Kobe is still the highest paid player this year despite being one of the worst players on one of the worst teams. The second highest paid last year was a guy called Joe Johnson who got a contract worth much more than his value and since then has been genuinely awful.

It all went awry at a pitch meeting where Nike was trying to get Curry to re-sign with the brand. ESPN, quoting Curry's father Dell, reports that an executive misstated Stephen Curry's first name. Then, a PowerPoint presentation still featured Durant's name–likely from older materials that were being reused for the Curry talks.

"I stopped paying attention after that," Dell told ESPN. It became evident to him that his son would never reach the top tier at Nike.

Incredible stuff from Russell Westbrook last night. He just took the game over and dominated. What an athlete. It's been a brilliant series in what have been, otherwise, extremely drab and predictable playoffs.

In him and Durrant they are formidable. If Warriors get through, which they should do I'm not sure who I would want them to play out of the Spurs or OKC. If those 2 fellas are on form you can't do anything to defend them, you just need to outscore them which the Warriors can do but it won't be easy. If those 2 have an off night though they don't have enough in the squad to get them through although Adams & Ibaka are good players.

Has never been one in basketball, he's the first (and only) unanimous winner, surprisingly.
