But after acknowledging Stephen Curry was the primary force behind four Warriors championships in an eight-year span, Charles served up a rather provocative comparison. “I said after he won this one, that puts him on the list with Isiah Thomas,” Charles Barkley said. “He’s at the table in the Hall of Fame with Isiah Thomas as probably the best point guards. Those two guys are probably the two best points to ever play the game.”

Researching Will Clark’s 1985 draft class, I took note of Baltimore’s intriguing 14th round pick: Dell Curry, pitcher. Yes, that Dell Curry, father of Steph. How history might have changed had he signed, and he wanted to, but his own father made him stay in college and hoops. – 5:15 PM

More on this storyline
Whoa. What about that guy in Los Angeles, the conductor of “Showtime” for the Lakers of the 1980s? “Magic Johnson is a little unique because he’s a 6-foot-10 point guard,” Barkley said. “He played it differently. But I put Steph right up there with Isiah Thomas as the best little guards to ever play the game.” -via NBC Sports / July 28, 2022
Including this coming season, a max extension would lock in Green for $164.2 million over the next five seasons. He’d turn 37 years old in the final season. All indications, though, are that the Warriors have no plans to offer Green a maximum extension, and there isn’t any current traction on any type of extension. The typical pattern of this Golden State front office is to extend with one year remaining. Even Stephen Curry waited until one year remained before signing his max extension last offseason. Green has two years remaining on the maximum extension he signed in 2019. While he could opt out a year earlier, the Warriors’ current preference is to talk extension with Green next summer. -via The Athletic / July 27, 2022
Perhaps a bigger concern is how the NBA Finals MVP would feel about Green not getting an extension. Multiple sources said Curry would not be happy if the Warriors lost Green because the team didn’t want to pay him. Curry is under contract for four more years and has a desire for Green and Thompson to be with him for the length of his stay. A three-year extension would align Green’s contract with Curry’s. -via The Athletic / July 27, 2022
Charles Barkley did that Monday during an interview with Dan Patrick, where he openly talked about possibly joining the LIV Golf Tour and leaving TNT. In addition to saying, “Of course it’s about the money” and that LIV would have to give him an “astronomical” deal to get him to leave Turner Sports, Barkley gave Patrick a bunch of information about where he stands with TNT and LIV. -via Sports Illustrated / July 25, 2022
Turner has not reached out or spoken to Barkley about his future. “They’ve been very quiet,” said Barkley. Barkley told Patrick he makes around $20 million per year between Turner and sponsorships. If LIV offered $60 million annually, Barkley would take the LIV offer. -via Sports Illustrated / July 25, 2022
