Steph Curry's Wife Ok After Confrontation With French Police

Steph Curry’s Wife Ok After Confrontation With French Police

Steph Curry and Ayesha

Ayesha Curry had some trouble with French police after the men’s basketball Olympic final.

In the moments after Steph Curry and Team USA won a gold medal in the men’s basketball final at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, the Golden State Warriors point guard’s wife, Ayesha, was caught in a stressful situation. She stated later that she was Ok.

A now viral video of Ayesha showed the mom-of-four holding back tears as she attempted to get back to her car on Saturday, August 10, while holding the famous couple’s newborn son, Caius, in a baby carrier strapped around her chest.

Ayesha Curry nearly bursted into tears as police stopped her group from getting back to their vehicle.

Ayesha, 35, was also holding the hand of one of her and Steph’s four kids and could be seen talking to police for about three minutes with her mother-in-law, Sonya Curry, and Steph’s Golden State Warriors teammate Draymond Green.

While it’s not exactly clear what the problem was, Sonya, 58, asked police to stop speaking to her, as Draymond, 34, was heard asking a French officer: “So even after him hitting the baby in the head, there’s still nothing y’all can do to get them out of here?”

At one point, Sonya seemed to decide to ignore law enforcement’s directions by signaling Ayesha to join her and trying to push past police to get to the group’s transportation.

“It’s right there, where all those people are on that side, we were over there,” Sonya informed the cops. “They won’t let us go back over there where we came from. They won’t let the driver come here and they won’t let us go back over there.”

Wow! What a game.  Steph Curry performace was legendary. LeBron James and Stephen Curry have battled at the highest level of basketball in the NBA, but in 2024, they teamed to secure a gold medal for Team USA in the Paris Olympics.

James and Curry led Team USA to a 6-0 record in the Olympic Games after defeating France 98-87 in the final.

Following the game, James commented on the opportunity to play with Curry. He spoke on the urgency of getting Curry the ball on the offensive end, given his shooting ability.

“You just marvel at his talent,” James said. “Obviously, I’ve seen it before, you know, on the opposite side. But having him on your side, you just try to get stops and figure out other ways on the other end, but keep finding him. Keep getting him the ball. He’s the best shooter of all-time”

American track star Quincy Wilson’s fall is going to be a lot worse than his summer.

The 16-year-old, who won gold at the 4×400-meter relay in Paris, posted a picture with his medal last Saturday, lamenting that he would soon have to go back to high school.

“Dang, I really got school in two and a half weeks,” Wilson wrote on X, adding a broken heart emoji.

 

Wilson, who attends the Bullis School in Maryland, became the youngest male track and field athlete to compete in the Olympics when he helped Team USA qualify for the 4×400-meter relay final.

He didn’t run on Saturday, but got gold as part of the team that ran in heats.

Mike Evans Reveals He Thought About Joining Chiefs in Free Agency

Mike Evans Reveals He Thought About Joining Chiefs in Free Agency

Mike Evans

Following their Super Bowl LVIII win over the San Francisco 49ers, the Kansas City Chiefs‘ focus shifted to revamping the top half of their wide receiver room. General manager Brett Veach undoubtedly weighed plenty of options, ultimately landing on Marquise “Hollywood” Brown in free agency and Xavier Worthy in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Apparently, there was almost another choice on the table for the back-to-back champs. Five-time Pro Bowler Mike Evans recently admitted that had he ended up on the free agent market, Kansas City was at or near the top of his list of teams to join.

Speaking to NFL Network at Tampa Bay Buccaneers training camp, Evans explained that he’s a huge fan of how Patrick Mahomes plays. That factored into the Chiefs being a franchise that piqued the former first-round pick’s interest.

“I mean, I’ve been here my whole career,” Evans said. “And that was a goal of mine, honestly. I mean, in the back of my mind, I’m thinking Houston, Kansas City – I love Pat Mahomes’s game. I’m thinking those two teams, obviously, and I’m obviously thinking the Bucs. It would’ve been extremely hard, if I hit free agency, to leave here. This is where my family knows, my kids were born here, my wife’s been here a long time – she doesn’t want to pack it up and move everything. So really, her decision is the reason why I decided to stay. She loves this place and I obviously love this place but when she gave me the go-ahead like, ‘We should stay here,’ no-brainer.”

Jayson Tatum

Jayson Tatum ( 3 times- 1st team All-star/ NBA champion and one of the top 3 players in the league)  did not play during the United States’ 110-84 win over Serbia, and confirmed to reporters after the game that he wasn’t sick or injured.

“I went with the combinations that made sense,” head coach Steve Kerr told reporters while speaking about Tatum’s lack of playing time. “That was for tonight. He handled it well. He’ll make his mark.”

Kerr added: “I felt like an idiot not playing him… [In] a 40-minute game, you can’t play more than 10.”

Kerr confirmed that Tatum will play in USA”s next game vs. South Sudan. “Jayson will play [Wednesday],” Kerr said. “I’m not going to answer your next question, which is if he plays, who doesn’t. But we’re going to need him, and part of this job for me is to keep everybody engaged and ready, because my experience with this is crazy stuff happens.” A source close to Tatum stated, ” yeah whatever.”

Kerr went with a starting lineup of Joel Embiid, LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Jrue Holiday and Devin Booker, while the second unit was comprised of Kevin Durant, Anthony Edwards, Derrick White, Anthony Davis and Bam Adebayo.

 

Neither Tatum or Tyrese Haliburton saw the floor.

While six-times world champion Noah Lyles’ brash, showman side was on display in the popular Netflix docuseries “SPRINT,” there is a softer, more vulnerable aspect to the 27-year-old American who needs to have his own space.

The show’s popularity, however, has made life in the Olympic Village miserable for Lyles, one of the Paris Games’ most visible athletes.

“Apparently the world loves “SPRINT” and athletes do too, and I’ve become kind of popular in the village,” Lyles said at the U.S. athletics team’s press conference on Monday.

“Unfortunately, that has come with its own set of challenges. I’m not even the most popular person in the village, so I know I’m not the only one who’s had to deal with this.

“Even though some might be superstars in your eyes, we still are human beings, and we do want to be able to have our space and our time,” he added.

Track and Field starts Thursday.

Ex-Super Bowl Hero Jacoby Jones Dies At 40; Cause Unknown

Ex-Super Bowl Hero Jacoby Jones Dies At 40; Cause Unknown

Jacoby Jones

Former Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Jacoby Jones has died.

Multiple reporters shared the news last Sunday that Jones has died at the age of 40. The cause of death was not immediately known, but several of Jones’ ex-teammates and other players shared tributes to the former third-round draft pick.

Jones is best known for the major impact he made during the Ravens’ Super Bowl run in 2012. He caught a 70-yard, game-tying touchdown pass from Joe Flacco with under a minute remaining in the AFC Divisional Round playoffs against the Denver Broncos. The play later became known as the “Mile High Miracle.”

Jones also made a legitimate case to win MVP of Super Bowl XLVII when he caught a 56-yard touchdown and returned the opening kick of the second half 108 yards for a score in Baltimore’s 34-31 win over the San Francisco 49ers.

In addition to the Ravens, Jones also played for the Houston Texans, San Diego Chargers and Pittsburgh Steelers across nine NFL seasons from 2007-2015. He also spent a season with the Monterrey Steel of the National Arena League in 2017.
