Stephen Curry All 221 Three-Pointers Full Highlights (2017-18 Season Three-ilation Part II)
Stephen struggled to free himself, but after a few seconds, he determined that it was hopeless. The tentacle which had grabbed him around his right ankle had been joined by another tentacle which wrapped around his right thigh. The superhuman strength he had displayed in scaling the mountain was nothing compared to the power of the entity which had captured him. He tried to remain calm by reminding himself that he had transcended his weak human nature, that his soul had reached a deeper connection to the forces outside the universe, but those thoughts could not extinguish the fear that the his essence could be fully annihilated at any point. He grasped the Three-Point Shooting Amulet which was still on a chain around his neck. Gripping this physical representation of his power soothed him somewhat, and he was, for the first time, able to observe the chamber that he was being dragged through. The interior walls, like the exterior, were covered with minute symbols that evidenced great knowledge, perhaps all knowledge that had ever been known or would be known. Like the rest of this world, the place was lit, but the source of light couldn't be seen. Lifting his head up slightly to look towards his legs, Stephen saw additional tentacles slithering and writhing along with the two that bound him. They extended an impossibly long distance forward and then around a curve in the corridor. Whether they belonged to one creature or multiple, he couldn't determine. When the dragging finally stopped, Stephen was in a chamber with a ceiling so high that the walls seemed to vanish into fog. The tentacles let him go, allowing him to stand up, but they stayed within inches him, ready to grab again if he started running. It was then that he got his first look at what he knew without a doubt was one of the Other Gods. It was comprised entirely of the dripping black tentacles that had taken him here. At the center of the writhing mass was a triangle of three eyes that blinked independently of each other. Stephen struggled to look at the abomination for more than a second at a time; its appearance was repulsively alien. There was no visible mouth, but the God spoke to him anyway. "What is your purpose? Why have you come?" Stephen again grasped the amulet, using its strength to look the fiend in the eyes. "To gain mastery over the art of three-point shooting with your aid." He paused, then added, "And to bring back news of the true Gods to those who I once called my fellow man, so that they abandon their adoration of the lesser Gods." "We cannot help you," the thing replied. "We do not desire worship. But you can help us. To have a human spirit, even one tainted by unwise rituals, would nourish us greatly!" At that moment, the veil of concealment was ripped away, and the entire illusion of the mountain and the great stone city disappeared. As Stephen was thrown back into the void, both his physical and mental senses crashed into each other like the waves of a sea beset with hundreds of storms. Unlike his entry into this dimension, there was no tranquility, only chaos. Every connection to reality was sundered. His sanity was broken. His mind, or what remained of it, could only repeat one panicked thought, over and over: "Where is the amulet?" He tried to see it, but there was nothing to see, not even blackness; it was as if the visual inputs to his brain had been replaced with random garbled signals. When he tried to move his hand to check for the amulet, he found that his physical presence had been discarded entirely, leaving only a consciousness with no form attached. The malefic voice spoke again. "What you observe now is the true nature of this dimension. There is no respite from the chaos. We will let the fear build up on your soul like a plaque, and then it will be devoured, and you will find what lies beyond is not pleasant." Distantly, Stephen could hear screams echoing through the void. The screams of those life forms foolish enough to journey into this dimension and paying the price with their souls. "I refuse," Stephen answered defiantly. "Return me at once to my home!" He couldn't tell where his voice was coming from but suspected that no actual sound waves were being generated. In response to this, an unbearable static noise filled his ears at a deafening volume. It moved up and down in pitch as if laughter. Stephen instinctively moved to protect his ears, but there were no ears to protect. "Such hubris," spoke the voice. "If you wish to act this way, perhaps it would be better to remove you immediately." Stephen cried out as he felt the first fragment of his soul get broken off and consumed. More Gods had joined in the feast, surrounding him, prodding him, driving him to incoherence. In one final act of defiance, he channeled his remaining energy even as it was being sapped from him, and yelled out "I refuse!" as this energy burst out of him. Then, silence. -- "Steph? Steph? Are you okay?"
Gareth Bale goes 'ballistic' after father-in-law posts photograph of new baby
An argument has erupted after Gareth Bale's rogue father-in-law published a photograph of the footballer's new baby - despite being told to keep it private. Despite the tense relationship with his daughter Emma and Bale, international fraudster Martin Rhys-Jones, 53, was invited to a party they were having in Cardiff. The couple allowed the new grandfather to take a picture with their new newborn Axel Charles, but told him the picture must be kept private and not put on social media. However, Rhys-Jones ignored the request and posted the image on a Twitter page promoting his book.The defiant act has sparked a fresh row between the couple and Rhys-Jones, who is already uninvited to their wedding. A relative of the Real Madrid star and his bride-to-be Emma said: 'Gareth went ballistic when he saw the photo.'The couple are very private about anything to do with their children but Martin doesn't give a hoot. 'It's created an even bigger rift between them.' The Wales captain had invited his father-in-law to be to the party at Elevens, the bar he owns in the Welsh capital. It was Bale's chance to show off the little boy he has always dreamed of.Little Axel Charles, born in May, was passed around doting relatives, who were all told not to post pictures on social media. Father-of-five Rhys-Jones broke the agreement and wrote under the picture: 'My new grandson and his dad at Elevens Bar - freedom tastes almost as good as the food here!' The Bale's relative said: 'Martin seems determined to upset them by ignoring their requests for privacy. 'Gareth and Emma have asked him to take the picture down but it's still there for all to see.' Rhys-Jones posting the photo of his grandson is the latest family tiff for the couple. In late July, Bale and Emma called off their wedding, blaming 'family turmoil'.They had reportedly planned a star-studded ceremony in a historic castle in Tuscany, Italy, and wanted Beyonce as their wedding singer. But the pair put off their big day until next summer after a 'roller coaster' year of joy and heartbreak.Former hairdresser Emma, hoped the extra time would give her chance to heal a rift with Rhys-Jones. Father-of-five Rhys-Jones served six years for a £2million international fraud ripping off investors worldwide.Rhys-Jones pleaded guilty to one count of money laundering over the scam in which he and his associates sold worthless stocks at grossly inflated prices for three years. Addressing the court at the time Rhys-Jones spoke of his 'deep regret' for his crimes and that he was 'truly sorry' for the financial loss incurred by his victims. He missed the birth of three grandchildren including Emma's two daughters by Bale, Alba Violet, five, and Nava Valentina, two. Emma fell out further with her father after he moved in with a Russian florist half his age within weeks of being freed from jail in the US. The couple uninvited him from their wedding along with other family members who were involved in a missing suitcase containing

Kyrie Irving 57 points @ Spurs (Full Highlights) (03/12/15) UNBELIEVABLE!
(Copyright FreeDawk ins) FREE DAWK INS! SAN ANTONIO (AP) Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star Kyrie Irving left his superstar teammate LeBron James in awe. His spectacular play overwhelmed the San Antonio Spurs. The guard collected a career-high and NBA season-high 57 points and his fadeaway 3 sent the emotional game into overtime where Cleveland rallied for a 128-125 victory over the defending NBA champion San Antonio Spurs on Thursday night. "The kid is special, we all know it, we all see it," James said. "For him to go out and put on a performance like he did tonight was incredible." His 57 topped his own NBA-best 55-point game against Portland on Jan. 28. He scored nine points in the final minute of regulation to tie the game and added 11 more in overtime to snap San Antonio's six-game winning streak. "A few of those shots, it just left my hands and I kind of threw them up at the rim and I was lucky enough and blessed enough that they went in," Irving said. His point total was a Cavs record, too, topping James' 56 against the Raptors in 2005. James was back just in time from a one-game absence to be part of Irving's stellar night in what everyone said was one of the best NBA games this season. "It was such a fun game," Irving said. "The crowd was into it. They sold out, they came to see a great game and it was. Once Bron gets into those step-back 3s, we were just looking at each other, `Man, this is just so much fun.' " Irving hit a 3-pointer in the face of heavy defense from Danny Green to pull Cleveland to 110-107 with 31 seconds remaining in regulation. After the Spurs' Kawhi Leonard missed two free throws with 4.3 seconds left, Irving made his 3, falling to his right over Leonard to tie it at 110. "I know I lost the game," Leonard said, "but (missing free throws) happens to everybody. So, I've got to keep moving forward and know that I made big free throws and big shots before." Irving made all seven of his 3-point attempts, was 20 of 32 from the field overall, and made 10 free throws without a miss. "He was outstanding every time we had an opportunity to beat them," Manu Ginobili said. "He came up with crazy plays." James added 31 in his first game at the AT&T Center since being blown out in five games by San Antonio in the NBA Finals in his last games with the Miami Heat. He was 10 for 20 from the floor in a physical battle with Leonard, but his struggles were lessened by Irving's wild night. Tony Parker had 31 points for San Antonio and Leonard added 24 points. Irving scored 11 points in overtime, including a crossover, fadeaway 3-pointer against Boris Diaw with 1:20 remaining to give Cleveland a 122-118 lead. Green's 3-pointer gave San Antonio a 104-95 lead in regulation, prompting a timeout by Cleveland and a technical on James for arguing a non-call on an earlier miss. "We Just try to regain my composure, including myself, which we did," James said. "We had to get some timely shots and some timely stops." It was part of an emotional night for James, He and Leonard battled on both ends of the court, with King James nodding his head and Leonard staring at him defiantly after the two exchanged a series of elbows to the chest and pushes away from the ball early in the second quarter.
