Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry was once again named by an NBA star as the most influential player in history. Golden State Warriors have endured a rollercoaster stretch in recent weeks but managed to steady the ship with a crucial NBA victory over the New Orleans Pelicans.

Butler returned to Miami for the first time since the trade last week, scoring 11 points in the Warriors' 112-86 loss to the Heat on Tuesday. Despite the disappointing game result, the 35-year-old appreciated the opportunity to return to a city he called home for six years.

Stephen Curry has landed a three-book deal, the first of which, "Shot Ready," a personal reflection, according to Curry, is set for an early September release.
