Stephen Curry is making his first big foray into the world of acting by joining the cast of GOAT. This animated feature from Sony Pictures Animation will also see the Golden State Warriors star as a producer.
While this will be his first major role in a movie, Curry has been a part of a few projects so far. His wife, Ayesha certainly knows her way around the camera, so she could give him a few pointers if it ever came to that. For now, though, we can at least expect to hear Stephen Curry as he plays his part in GOAT.

Magic Johnson's Haunting Warning: How Losing This Player for $9M Cost the Los Angeles Lakers—And What They Must Fix Now
Magic Johnson. Image via: Amy Sussman/Invision/AP Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson recently revealed that he had warned the franchise about the consequences of losing a key player, Alex Caruso, for a bargain price of $9 million. Johnson expressed that letting Caruso go was a haunting mistake for the Lakers, highlighting the significance of the player to the team's success and chemistry. Alex Caruso, known for his defensive tenacity and hustle, was a vital contributor during his time with the Los Angeles Lakers, helping them secure an NBA championship. Magic Johnson's warning underscores the impact that losing such a player can have on the franchise's competitive edge. Despite the Lakers' high-profile acquisition of Luka Doncic, Johnson emphasized that the team still needs to improve its defense and overall roster depth to contend for a title next season. Magic Johnson's insight comes amid broader concerns about the Lakers ' roster construction and their ability to compete at the highest level. He has called on the team's management, including General Manager Rob Pelinka, to address gaps, particularly by adding a big man and improving the bench. Johnson also pointed out that the Los Angeles Lakers need to get faster and better conditioned to match the pace of their Western Conference rivals. This cautionary message from Magic Johnson reflects his deep understanding of what it takes to build a championship-winning team. Having led the Los Angeles Lakers to five NBA titles during his playing career, Johnson knows the importance of every roster piece and the risks involved in losing players who contribute significantly, even if they are not superstars. His warning about losing Alex Caruso serves as a reminder that successful teams require a balance of star power, role players, and defensive grit. Also read: Caitlin Clark's Viral 'Choke' Gesture Ignites Pacers in NBA Finals—Indiana Takes 2-1 Lead As the Los Angeles Lakers look ahead, Magic Johnson's comments highlight the urgency for the franchise to make strategic moves in the offseason.
