STEPHEN CURRY WINS OSCAR AS EXECUTIVE PRODUCER Stephen Curry added another accolade to his resume after winning an Oscar for “The Queen of Basketball.” Curry joined Shaquille O'Neal as executive producers on the documentary, which centered on the life of Lusia Harris, the first woman to score a basket in Olympic women's basketball history and the first woman successfully drafted by an NBA team (New Orleans Jazz in 1977). Though Harris never played in the league, she was one of the most decorated female basketball players ever, leading Delta State University to three consecutive national championships (1975–1977), earning a silver medal for the United States in the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal and becoming the first African American woman to be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1992. Curry wore sneakers in March with the phrase "Queen Lucy" written on them, honoring the memory of the basketball pioneer during Women’s Empowerment Month. Curry and O'Neal join the late Kobe Bryant as the only three basketball players to win an Oscar.
ANDRE IGUODALA FINALIST FOR TWYMAN-STOKES TEAMMATE OF THE YEAR AWARD Andre Iguodala was named one of 12 finalists for the 2021-22 Twyman Stokes Teammate of the Year award.

Iguodala made his return to game action on March 28 against the Grizzlies, after missing 29 of the previous 30 games for the Warriors. The 18-year NBA veteran posted six points, three rebounds and two assists in 16 minutes off the bench. “Not too many people at 38 (years old) play in the NBA so just very fortunate to be able to get out there and help the guys,” Iguodala shared with media after the game.
KLAY THOMPSON JOINS SERGE IBAKA’S ‘HOW HUNGRY ARE YOU?’ Klay Thompson joined Serge Ibaka of the Milwaukee Bucks on his cooking show, “How Hungry Are You?” Ibaka served up authentic Congolese dishes as the pair sat down to discuss a variety of topics including Thompson’s love for basketball, his rehabilitation journey, the importance of Draymond Green and much more. The center even put the Splash Brothers’ friendship to the test, FaceTiming two-time MVP Stephen Curry during their discussion.
