BREAKING: Steph Curry’s Three-Word Message After Jayson Tatum’s All-Star Game MVP ‘Snub’

Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry and Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum were arguably the two best players on the court during Sunday night’s 2025 NBA All-Star Game.

Curry and Tatum led Shaq’s OGs to a 42-35 win over (Candace) Parker’s Rising Stars in the first round of the mini-tournament. In the championship game, Shaq’s OGs defeated Chuck’s (Charles Barkley) Global Stars 41-25.

Through two games, Curry finished the night with 23 points on 7-of-17 shooting, ten rebounds and two assists. The four-time NBA champion received the 2025 NBA All-Star Game Kobe Bryant MVP award for his performance in front of his home crowd, the second such honor of his career.

After receiving his MVP trophy, Curry turned around and gave a three-word message to Tatum, who many fans believed should have won the All-Star MVP.

“Lifetime achievement award,” Curry said.

Although Curry won the MVP, Tatum still had a nice night, recording 19 points on 9-of-11 shooting, five rebounds and four assists. The Celtics star also scored the game-winning bucket in the All-Star championship.

Still, some NBA fans were not happy that Tatum was snubbed in favor of Curry, taking to social media to leave their thoughts.

“@NBA your league sucks and is run by social media. Efficiency matters. Tatum was MVP,” one fan said.

“Jayson tatum robbed of ASMVP… This is getting ridiculous,” added another.

“Tatum got robbed of AS MVP, ECFMVP and FMVP in less than a year,” claimed a third.

“FAKE (expletive) MVP CURRY DID NOT DESERVE THAT MVP TATUM WAS ROBBED @NBA SHAMELESS,” commented a fourth.

“Curry for MVP is a freaking joke, that should’ve clearly gone to Tatum and only went to Curry because it was held in San Fran #rigged ridiculous,” posted a fifth.

“Tatum will get finals eastern conference and finals mvp. While curry watches from Home but total snub,” wrote a sixth.

Curry was named to his 11th All-Star game this year compared to Tatum’s sixth. The two stars had battled it out in the NBA Finals in 2022, but it was Curry and the Warriors who came out on top.

 

SNL star reveals why she’s a huge Travis Kelce fan… but it’s not because of Taylor Swift

SNL star Heidi Gardner revealed that Travis Kelce has been her favorite guest host on the show – and it has nothing to do with Taylor Swift.

Gardner, who joined the comedy show in 2017, was asked to choose her favorite celebrity host while on the red carpet of SNL’s 50th anniversary special on Sunday.

And while Gardner is a fan of Swift, her affinity for Kelce is because she’s a Chiefs fan and a Kansas City native.

‘Love Taylor Swift too, but I’m a Chiefs fan,’ Gardner told Page Six.

Kelce hosted the show in March 2023 – several months before he began dating Swift during the summer of that year.

Gardner, who has proudly shared her Chiefs fandom on social media, added that she would ask Kelce about his pregame routines, such as what he ate or if he showered before playing.

Kelce was noncommittal regarding his future in football after his team lost the Super Bowl

‘I was like a little sister just asking all the questions I’ve always wondered,’ she said.

On February 9 – the day of Kansas City’s eventual Super Bowl loss to the Eagles – Gardner penned a tribute to her team on Instagram ahead of the game.

‘I LOVE YOU CHIEFS and I think you’re the best sending you all my love and luck today,’ she wrote.

 

The carousel post included a slew of photos related to the team, including her in a full Patrick Mahomes uniform and her with Kelce and Mahomes at various events.

Unfortunately for Gardner, the Chiefs were stopped short in their pursuit of a historic Super Bowl three-peat as they lost to the Eagles 40-22.

While the 35-year-old tight end said before the game that he hoped to still be playing in three years, he indicated afterwards that retirement was being considered.

‘I’m gonna take some time to figure it out,’ Kelce said on his ‘New Heights’ podcast. ‘And I think I owe it to my teammates that if I do come back that it’s gonna be a wholehearted decision and I’m not half-a**ing it, and I’m fully here for them.

‘I think I can play, it’s just whether or not I’m motivated or it’s the best decision for me as a man, as a human, as a person to take on all that responsibility.’

BREAKING: Kιd Rock Takes a Stгaιght Shot at Tayloг Swιft: ‘Go Home Gιгl, Yoυг Mυsιc Is Jυst Bυbblegυm!

Well-known rock singer Kid Rock has sparked a new controversy by directly attacking Taylor Swift, one of the most successful artists in pop music today. In a recent interview, Kid Rock harshly criticized Swift, describing her music as “bubble gum” and suggesting that the singer should “go home.” This confrontation has caused a huge reaction on social media, where fans of both artists have spoken out emphatically.

During the interview, Kid Rock had no qualms about expressing his disdain for Swift’s musical style. “Go home, girl! Your music is just bubble gum, something that everyone chews for a while, but no one really appreciates afterward,” declared the singer, who has been known for his controversial comments throughout his career. These words not only surprised Taylor Swift’s fans, but also fueled the growing rivalry between rock and pop, two genres that have often been seen on opposite sides of the musical spectrum.

Kid Rock’s comment was not only an attack on Taylor Swift’s music, but also seemed to be directed at her professional success. “It’s easy to make pop music for the youth and the masses, but that doesn’t mean it’s real art,” he added. Swift, known for her evolution from country singer to global pop star, has been hailed for her ability to connect with her fans, but has also received criticism from some artists in more traditional genres such as rock, who consider her musical style too commercial.

Kid Rock’s words did not go unnoticed, especially at a time when Taylor Swift is going through a period of great success both in her musical career and in her personal life. With a series of albums that have broken records and a growing fan base around the world, Swift has established herself as one of the most influential artists of the 21st century. However, not everyone shares this enthusiasm.

The response from Taylor Swift’s fans was not long in coming. On platforms like Twitter and Instagram, hundreds of the singer’s followers expressed their disagreement with Kid Rock’s words. Many accused him of being “irrelevant” and trying to discredit an artist who, according to them, has proven to be much more than a “commercial pop star.” “Nobody asks Kid Rock to talk about Taylor Swift, it’s clear that he has a personal problem,” wrote one fan on Twitter.

For their part, Kid Rock’s followers also defended their idol, assuring that the singer has always been an honest critic of the modern music industry. “Kid Rock is not afraid to tell the truth, and the truth is that Taylor Swift’s music has no substance,” said one of the singer’s most staunch followers.

This confrontation could be nothing more than another episode in a long list of public disputes in the music industry. While Kid Rock remains a champion of old-time music, Taylor Swift continues to dominate the charts and cement her legacy as one of the most successful artists of all time.

While the feud between the two is unlikely to be resolved quickly, it will undoubtedly continue to be a topic of conversation in the media and on social media. In the meantime, fans of each artist will continue to defend their idols with the same passion that characterizes the competition between musical genres.

BREAKING: Patrick Mahomes Makes Strong Statement About the Chiefs Being the NFL’s Villain 

 

The Kansas City Chiefs have an opportunity to make some NFL history on Sunday at Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans.

And while being the first team to win three straight Super Bowls would be quite the accomplishment, a good portion of NFL fans are actively rooting against it to actually happen.

Few would argue the Chiefs are one of the top teams in the NFL, but the manner in which they reached Super Bowl 59 has been a hot-button topic of discussion for the last five-plus months.

Twelve of Kansas City’s wins 17 wins this season including the playoffs have come in one-score games, and nearly half of them had some sort of controversial flag thrown or a seemingly blatant non-call that benefitted the Chiefs in some way, leading to fans starting an “NFL is rigged” movement on social media.

So, heading into Sunday’s matchup against the Eagles, a large contingency of fans are actively rooting against Kansas City because of the perception the NFL officials helped pave the way for them to get back to the Super Bowl.
With so much vitriol coming from the fans toward the Chiefs, it seems the NFL has a new villain, similar to the way the New England Patriots were when they won six Super Bowls under former head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady from 2001 to 2018 — an issue Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes isn’t blind to and one he addressed during Super Bowl Media Day on Monday.
I don’t even think it’s embracing being the villains,” Mahomes told reporters. “We embrace who we are. We believe we play the game the right way. We believe we play with a lot of heart and a lot of passion for the game. And we win football games, and if winning football games makes you a villain, we’re going to keep going out there and doing it.”

The Chiefs have seemingly always had an us-against-the-world mentality over the years, but this year feels a little different.
Some media pundits have openly criticized them during their recent run, but this year seems like the first time their heel role has been front-and-center in the headlines.

And while the Chiefs may have quite a few people pulling for their demise, the team seems perfectly content with embracing its anti-hero role.

“I love it,” tight Travis Kelce said on his “New Heights” podcast. “… I’m enjoying doing this with the guys that we have in there because it just makes us even more of a family. You just circle the wagons. People are saying whatever they want and they’re hating on you, you just banded together and it just makes you appreciate more of what you have because people want what you have.”

Justin Baldoni flaunts his ripped body while surfing in Hawaii as Blake Lively feud rages on due to his Recent Ear Striking post about Blake Lively…

 

Wave goodbye to the drama … or at least sea ya later.

Justin Baldoni showed off his washboard abs while surfing in Hawaii as his legal drama with Blake Lively continues to unfold.

The actor’s bulging biceps and rock-hard core were on display as he was photographed riding the waves Thursday.

Baldoni, 41, went shirtless while wearing navy blue board shorts and allowed his hair to flow freely in the salty breeze.

His leg muscles were fully flexed as he maintained his balance on his green surfboard.

The director appeared to be in high spirits and was spotted smiling as he floated in the water and let himself tan under the hot sun. At one point, he was seen taking a stroll along the shore.

 

Baldoni was joined by his friend Garrett Gee, but his wife, Emily Baldoni, did not appear to be present for the beach day, though she has been in Hawaii with him.

Last month, Emily, 40, made her first public statement showing support for Justin since Lively, 37, sued him for sexual harassment in December 2024 and also accused him of launching a smear campaign against her while promoting their movie, “It Ends With Us.”

“Happy birthday my love,” Emily captioned a PDA-packed photo with her husband and their two children via Instagram on Jan. 24.

“Celebrating the man, husband, and father that you are. I’d choose you again and again,” she added.

The couple, who tied the knot in 2013, share daughter Maiya, 9, and son Maxwell, 7.

Justin, who lives in Los Angeles, escaped to the Aloha State after denying Lively’s claims and suing the New York Times, which broke the news of his co-star’s lawsuit, for libel in December.

He then filed a $400 million lawsuit against the “Gossip Girl” alum and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, for defamation and extortion last month.

The “Jane the Virgin” alum has claimed Lively bullied him into letting her commandeer their film, which is based on Colleen Hoover’s 2016 novel of the same name and hit theaters last August.

Justin admitted in a recent podcast episode that he was struggling emotionally and experiencing anxiety due to his stressful year.

The filmmaker’s attorney has also claimed his client has been “devastated financially and emotionally” by the legal battle.

Justin and Lively’s trial is scheduled to kick off in March 2026.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards did not wind up playing in the NBA All-Star Game and he received a ton of backlash for it. There was a ton of criticism from Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green about the NBA All-Star Game format.

Another player who did not play in the All-Star Game because of injury was Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo was injured way before the all-star weekend. He has missed the last few games for Milwaukee and it will be interesting to see when he will return to the lineup for them.

Minnesota Timberwolves Anthony Edwards Comments On Whether Or Not Giannis Antetokounmpo Would Do the Dunk Contest

Mac McClung won the dunk contest for the third straight year. With McClung winning it three years in a row, there may be some stars in the NBA who may join in the contest next year. Ja Morant of the Memphis Grizzlies, Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks, and some other stars were thinking about it and tweeting about it on Twitter.

Antetokounmpo mentioned in a press conference that his kids hacked his Twitter account when referencing dunking in the dunk contest next year. Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards was asked about whether or not the Bucks superstar would participate in it next year. Edwards said:

“Giannis is an in-game dunker. I don’t feel like he’s a dunk contest type of guy.”

Those are some interesting words from the Timberwolves superstar. It remains to be seen if there will be challengers for Mac McClung next year, although San Antonio Spurs rookie Stephon Castle did a pretty good job of competing with him.

Fans React To Comments

It remains to be seen if Giannis Antetokounmpo will do the dunk contest next year. However, a dunk contest with more NBA superstars would be fun to watch also. It used to happen in the 1990s, so why can’t it happen now? There will be a lot to watch for from the Milwaukee Bucks superstar and others heading into next year also.

Patrick Mahomes and ANGRY Brittany Mahomes attends Patrick grandfather’s funeral as Chiefs QB is seen for first time since Super Bowl defeat BUT there’s something that happened that got fans Reacting Towards Brittany… WATCH THE VIDEO 👇

 

Patrick Mahomes was seen attending his grandfather’s funeral in Texas on Monday following his death at the age of 78 last week.

Randy Mahomes, the father of Patrick’s mother Randi, passed away on Friday after battling an unknown illness in recent months.

His death came just five days after Patrick, 29, and the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles on February 9.

The Chiefs quarterback made the trip to Henderson, Texas, on Monday for Randy’s funeral, where he was seen alongside younger brother Jackson, 24, in exclusive photos captured by DailyMail.com.

Patrick, who suffered a nightmare performance in Kansas City’s defeat at Super Bowl LIX, could be seen wearing a black polo shirt with a red rose attached to it and black sneakers, while Jackson opted for a grey suit, white shirt and navy shoes.

Randy died five days after Kansas City’s crushing defeat against Philadelphia, with Patrick’s mom announcing that he had passed away.

 

‘Hard to find the words of holding my fathers hand as he goes to Heaven,’ Randi Mahomes wrote alongside a series of photos of her father.

‘I know he’s in a better place. I love you daddy. Well done, good and faithful servant’.

Randi had repeatedly spoke on social media about her dad and his ill health but never revealed precisely what problem he was suffering from before his passing. Randy turned 78 on January 6.

Before the Super Bowl in New Orleans, the Chiefs quarterback’s mom said her father was ‘hanging on’ to see Patrick play in football’s showpiece game.

‘I know that it has meant a lot to him (that Patrick is in another Super Bowl). And I think he’s hanging on because he wants to see his grandson do an amazing thing or just let him play,’ she said to People.

‘I mean, he must be such a proud grandpa, so proud. And my mom was very proud and his other grandparents.’

Mahomes’ mom added that she has kept the Chiefs quarterback updated on his grandfather’s health but tried not to ‘bug him’ ahead of the Super Bowl against the Eagles.

Despite her father being moved into hospice care Randi was still in attendance at both the Super Bowl in New Orleans and last month’s AFC Championship game in Kansas City to cheer on Patrick.

After last month’s win over the Buffalo Bills, Patrick was quick to come together with his family on the field at Arrowhead Stadium.

In an emotional family moment, he posed with mom Randi, wife Brittany – just days after she gave birth to their third child – dad Patrick Snr, brother Jackson and half-sister Mia.

For Patrick, the news of his grandfather’s passing came weeks after the birth of his and wife Brittany’s third child, a second daughter called Golden Raye.

The three-time Super Bowl champion fell way below his usual standards in New Orleans earlier this month, after being sacked six times and throwing two costly interceptions – including a pick six.

Rival quarterback Jalen Hurts stole the show on the night to seal a 40-22 victory for Philadelphia, with Kansas City’s dreams of a historic three-peat coming crashing down at the very final hurdle.

Mahomes was quick to shoulder the blame after the defeat on Sunday, writing to Chiefs fans in a post on X: ‘I let y’all down today. I’ll always continue to work and try and learn and be better for it.’

He also added in his postgame press conference: ‘I can’t turn the ball over when it’s not going our way. I have to learn from that and get better from that.

Anytime you lose the Super Bowl, it’s the worst feeling. It’ll stick with you for the rest of your career. It hurt more than the wins feel good. It’s going to hurt for a while, but how can you respond to it.’

Elon Musk’s daughter has shared a brutal post after reports surfaced claiming her father has welcomed his 13th child. As widely reported, Ashley St.

As widely reported, Ashley St. Clair – a 26-year-old American influencer and writer – took to X on Friday (February 14) to claim that she and the 53-year-old billionaire share a child.

In the statement, St. Clair explained that she had no intention of making this information public but felt pressure from the media to do so.

“Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father. I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child’s privacy and safety, but in recent days, it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause,” her announcement read.

“I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment,” St. Clair said. “For that reason, I ask that the media honor our child’s privacy and refrain from invasive reporting.”

Her post was captioned with the Latin phrase, “Alea Iacta Est,” which means: “The die is cast.”

Musk’s estranged daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, who has openly criticized the Tesla founder on social media, reacted to the 13th baby announcement with a savage post shared on TikTok.

In her video, the 21-year-old revealed that she found out about the news through Reddit and added that it wasn’t the first time she had learned about a new half-sibling online.

“Wow, if I had a nickel for every time I found out I had half-siblings through Reddit, I’d have two nickels… which isn’t a lot but, it’s weird that it’s happened twice, right?” she wrote, referencing a popular meme from Disney’s Phineas and Ferb.

The post quickly gained traction, with Wilson, who is transgender, later taking to Meta’s Threads to reveal that she actually found out about six of her half-siblings this way.

In a revealing new interview, Kelsey Mitchell opened up about her career and how Caitlin Clark played a pivotal role in saving her professional journey with the Indiana Fever. The conversation shed light on the bond between the two athletes and how Clark’s influence impacted Mitchell both on and off the court.

Mitchell, who has faced her fair share of challenges throughout her career, spoke candidly about the struggles she encountered early on with the Fever. She detailed how difficult it was to find her rhythm in the team and the overwhelming pressure she felt to perform. At a time when her future with the team seemed uncertain, Caitlin Clark, a rising star and former college teammate, became an unexpected source of support and motivation.

Clark, known for her incredible skills and leadership, offered Mitchell advice and encouragement, reminding her of the talent and potential she had. Mitchell explained that Clark’s belief in her was a game-changer, giving her the confidence she needed to push through and prove herself as an invaluable asset to the Fever.

Mitchell also credited Clark’s positive influence with helping her refine her skills and find her footing in the WNBA. Their shared history and close friendship allowed for an open exchange of ideas and strategies, which, Mitchell believes, helped elevate her game to new heights.

This revelation highlights the importance of mentorship and support within professional sports, showing how the impact of a teammate can go beyond the game itself. With Caitlin Clark’s guidance, Kelsey Mitchell found a renewed sense of purpose and determination, ultimately leading to a significant turn in her career. As Mitchell continues to grow as a player, it’s clear that the connection between the two athletes has been a crucial factor in her journey with the Indiana Fever.
