Cristiano Ronaldo sits at the top of the list, having earned $275 million this year. Curry comes in behind him at $156 million and is $22.8 million clear of James, the first active NBA player to become a billionaire, who is down at sixth with $133.8 million in earnings.

The Minnesota Timberwolves trolled the Golden State Warriors after eliminating them in the second round of the playoffs on Wednesday night with a social media post involving T-Wolves star Anthony Edwards and Warriors legend Stephen Curry.

Two-time MVP Steph Curry suffered a Grade 1 left hamstring strain in Game 1 against the Timberwolves. He missed the rest of the series after helping the Warriors win Game 1 in Minnesota.

The ESPN star emphasized that Curry remains one of the league's best. Despite being 37, Steph is as sharp as ever, as he averaged 24.5 points, 6.0 assists, and 4.4 rebounds per game this season. Stephen A., though, outlined that it'sSteph's help that's lacking.

Shaquille O'Neal comes to Stephen Curry's defence after Charles Barkley claims the Warriors' star's presence would not change the final result of their Timberwolves series.

According to Kenny Smith, a lot will be determined by how Golden State starts Game 5. "We will know how close Steph Curry is by the first quarter of the Golden State," Smith declared. Charles Barkley couldn't quite understand Smith's mindset here, and the former NBA MVP just had to call him out.

Fast forward a few months, and Minnesota is headed back to the conference finals in no small part because of Randle, who continued the best stretch of basketball of his postseason -- and probably professional -- life with 27 points on 12-of-17 shooting on Wednesday as the Wolves eliminated the Warriors in five games.
