Warriors Star Jimmy Butler Makes Offseason Move in L.A. originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Apart from being one of the top players in the NBA today, Golden State Warriors star Jimmy Butler is also a very successful entrepreneur. He is the man behind the brand Bigface, which all started when Butler started selling coffee for $20 a cup during the NBA bubble in 2020. Advertisement Since then, the brand has become a major enterprise. It currently has a branch located at the heart of the Miami Design District, with plans for expansion soon. In the meantime, Bigface will be opening a temporary cafe in French soccer club Paris Saint-Germain's pop-up in Melrose, Los Angeles. Butler took to Instagram on Tuesday to share some photos of his offseason business move in L.A. as he looks to take the next steps in Bigface's expansion. According to the club's announcement, the PSG House will be open from June 14 to 23. The objective of the pop-up is to "offer fans and visitors an inspired blend of sport, fashion, art, music and wellness, curated in the spirit of Parisian elegance and West Coast creativity." Advertisement Butler's Bigface coffee is one of PSG's partners for the 10-day event, and will offer a coffee-tasting corner and an all day cafe.

Ayesha Curry Stakes Her Claim to Steph Curry With Two Words
Ayesha Curry Stakes Her Claim to Steph Curry With Two Words originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Steph Curry had another rather forgettable season with the Golden State Warriors this past year. After missing the playoffs entirely in 2023-24, the Warriors made it to the second round this season, only to be eliminated by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference Semifinals, 4-1. Advertisement Curry was forced to miss the last four games of that series--which Golden State all lost--due to what turned out to be a season-ending hamstring injury. It was far from an ideal ending to the former back-to-back MVP's 16th season in the NBA. Supporting Curry through all the ups and downs is his loving wife, Ayesha Curry, who is also the mother of their four beautiful children. On Friday, Ayesha Curry took to Instagram to stake her claim to her husband using just two words. "My babbbbby," she wrote, tagging the Warriors superstar in a selfie photo on her Instagram stories. Steph and Ayesha Curry will be celebrating their 14th wedding anniversary in July. They have been together far longer, though, having gone out on their first date when they were just 19 and 18 years old. Advertisement Their romance has brought about four beautiful children. Their eldest child, Riley, is now 12. She is followed by Ryan, 9, and Canon, who is 6. Last month, their youngest child, Caius Chai, celebrated his first birthday.

Whatever the case might be, he has had the unwavering support of his wife by his side every step of the way.
