Stephen Curry is a man of many talents. He is a basketball star, a golfer, a children’s book author, and is now making waves as a producer. His debut project, “Good Times,” on Netflix, premiered on April 12, marking his first foray into executive production. This animated series serves as a “spiritual sequel” to the original 1970s live-action show of the same name, renowned for its authentic depiction of a working-class Black family. Alongside legendary producer Norman Lear and Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, Curry brings to life the fourth generation of the Evans family, continuing their story in the familiar setting of apartment 17C in a Chicago housing project.
Unfortunately, Curry won’t be able to enjoy his debut animated series with his children due to the mature themes, inclusive of substance abuse, that make it unsuitable for younger audiences. “Good Times, everybody knows what it is, and it’s on a pedestal of shows that represent Black Culture, Black social commentary, Black family. This is a different take on that, so the name will ring, but an animated series that’s kind of driven towards the adult audience; it’s a little different and so you take that for what it is, and I would not be [watching] with my kids… But I think it has a little something for everybody—well, for the right audience, for sure,” said Stephen Curry following the Golden State Warriors 114-109 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night.
The loss saw the Golden State Warriors once again slip to No. 10 in the Western Conference standings, while a win would have propelled them to the eighth seed, saving them from single elimination. However, they still have a shot to climb up the rankings if they win, and both the ninth-seeded Sacramento Kings and eighth-seeded Los Angeles Lakers lose in their final game of the regular season on Sunday. However, their success hinges on the condition of Stephen Curry, who suffered an injury scare during Friday’s loss.
With just 5:31 left in regulation, a collective gasp swept through the Chase Center as Stephen Curry grimaced in pain, having rolled his right ankle while attempting a crossover dribble. However, given the importance of the match, Curry soldiered on, scoring 13 of his game-high 33 points after the tweak. The 4x NBA champion also added four rebounds, five assists, and one steal, albeit in a losing effort.
Following the loss, Stephen Curry gave a positive update on his ankle. “I rolled it just slightly, but on the scale of all the ankle injuries I’ve had, this is definitely on the milder side, so it should be all right,” said the Warriors’ superstar. Golden State will now meet the Utah Jazz on Sunday. The Warriors have the upper hand here, having won all three previous encounters against the Jazz this season. So, the hope for the Warriors is to jump a spot, preferably two, before the regular season wraps up.
