His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

I’ve got better conditions here. I wonder if I could submit a bid and just get some publicity for it?'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cushing was a Harvard-educated lawyer with many rich and powerful friends. He hurriedly put together a proposal, got financial backing from the California state Legislature, and traveled to New York to pitch the U.S. Olympic Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And much to the surprise of everybody, the U.S. Olympic Committee decided to nominate Squaw Valley to host the 1960 Winter Olympics,” Antonucci said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11904462\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 755px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11904462\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/RS53560_Opening-2-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"755\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/RS53560_Opening-2-qut.jpg 755w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/02/RS53560_Opening-2-qut-160x163.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A view of the opening ceremonies at the 1960 Olympics. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Bill Briner)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But Cushing still had to go to Paris and convince the International Olympic Committee (IOC) that Tahoe should host the Games.

You’ve got no chance. You’re just wasting your time,'” said Antonucci. “People in the Olympic orbit said, ‘Innsbruck, Austria, has it tied up.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Cushing and his team didn’t give up.

Tell me about it.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Keith Kesler\u003c/strong>: I just wanted something that kind of said, 'Hey, this is the Rams,' not like a specific event or game. I found the photo of the Rams player on the phone, and it hit me, Oh, that'd be kind of fun … the Rams giving San Francisco a call to say, 'Hey, how are you doing?'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jaime Wong\u003c/strong>: I laughed when I first saw that post. Immediately, I thought it'd be funny if we could find something similar. But it just so happened that in our coffers, we happened to have a photo of a staffer wearing a vintage 49ers uniform [donated to the \u003ca href=\"https://sfpl.org/locations/main-library/sf-history-center\">San Francisco History Center\u003c/a>]. Wouldn't it be funny if we just said something along the lines of, 'Hey, you know we're tied up a little bit right now? We can't answer your call.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I was checking out the Los Angeles Public Library. It looks to me like you have this thing that you do with book spines.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kesler\u003c/strong>: So what it is, is you're kind of looking for titles of books that, when you stack them up, [they] will kind of read like a poem. It'll either say this is what's coming up in this game or a reflection back on a previous game. So for example, I just posted one for the upcoming Rams-Niners game, and so it's “Golden State Showdown. Forty-Niners Meet the Los Angeles Rams Gridiron Gauntlet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Uhhh you may just be getting warmed up but we're on fire 🔥🔥🔥 \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LAPublicLibrary?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@LAPublicLibrary\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/michaelambert?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@michaelambert\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://t.co/xWDVWa3gRK\">https://t.co/xWDVWa3gRK\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://t.co/FmTvNTCRkd\">pic.twitter.com/FmTvNTCRkd\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— SF Public Library (@SFPublicLibrary) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SFPublicLibrary/status/1486863791182671873?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 28, 2022\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jamie, San Francisco is a pretty erudite place.

This gives folks a chance to understand that libraries … they sometimes will have a little bit of a dusty reputation.

In his post, Thompson wrote “Bill Murray is my spirit animal” with a video from the movie \"Space Jam\" and Murray’s declaration of “Perhaps I could be of some assistance.”\u003cspan class=\"apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-reader-unique-id=\"6\">The Warriors followed shortly with a formal release that Thompson would be available against the Cavaliers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-reader-unique-id=\"7\">Coach Steve Kerr wouldn’t confirm Thompson’s status following practice Saturday, saying, “It’s not my announcement or decision to make.” He also instructed the media to watch their phones, offering thanks for putting up with his “charade.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-reader-unique-id=\"15\">Thompson will start but with fewer minutes for now. Everyone plans to be patient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-reader-unique-id=\"16\">“The game needs Klay. He’s one of the best shooters to ever play this game,” teammate Juan Toscano-Anderson said. “The magnitude of this moment is so big.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-reader-unique-id=\"41\">The 31-year-old Thompson hasn’t played since suffering a torn ACL in his left knee in Game 6 of the 2019 NBA Finals as Toronto clinched the championship. While rehabbing from surgery for that injury, he tore his right Achilles tendon scrimmaging on his own in November 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-reader-unique-id=\"42\">“When he comes back, if it’s tomorrow night, it will be one of the most emotional nights of my basketball life,” Kerr said prior to Thompson making it official.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-reader-unique-id=\"43\">Thompson, now sporting an old-school headband he plans to stick with as his curly hair is longer, knows it will take time to build back up to his pre-injury minutes and performance on both ends of the floor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-reader-unique-id=\"44\">Tickets are at a premium for Sunday’s home matchup following months of speculation on when Thompson would finally take the court again. He will do so at home in Chase Center as everyone wanted it to happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-reader-unique-id=\"45\">“Klay Day coming up soon,” quipped Gary Payton II.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-reader-unique-id=\"46\">Thrilled with a productive warm-up routine last Monday, Thompson later lifted both arms to the sky and ran off the court to a roaring ovation from the fans treated to watching his smooth shot as he came closer to this day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-reader-unique-id=\"47\">Teammate Draymond Green grinned watching Thompson exit through the tunnel to wild applause Monday night — thriving in the moment that will soon be far more meaningful than just his pregame regimen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-reader-unique-id=\"48\">“The light at the end of the tunnel, you can see it,” Green said, still smiling hours later. “I was very excited to see him walking off and embracing that love, holding his hands up. It was great. I’ve seen what he’s been through the last 2 1/2 years and it’s not pretty.”\u003cspan class=\"apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-reader-unique-id=\"49\">Green added, “For those fans to line up there like that and show that support for him, I was a little salty that once he walked off the warmup was dead after that. I had nobody watching me warm up. You want that for him. ... Definitely brought a smile to me. I was very happy to share the court with him for three minutes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-reader-unique-id=\"50\">Kerr has said Thompson is “in a great place, mentally, spiritually, physically.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-reader-unique-id=\"51\">“I’m worried about him just enjoying playing basketball again,” Curry said. “The narratives and the impact will take place accordingly, and as he gets more and more comfortable every game he plays, he’ll take us to another level.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-reader-unique-id=\"52\">The energy and enthusiasm is there. So is the swagger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-reader-unique-id=\"53\">In November with the Warriors off to a sizzling 15-2 start, Thompson declared “it’s championship or bust” while noting they’d be that much better once he returned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-reader-unique-id=\"54\">Will he get right back to his old, dominant self? That’s the plan, certainly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-reader-unique-id=\"55\">In fact, Kerr spoke to the team about the adjustments of working Thompson back into the rotation, given there will be fewer minutes and opportunities for players who have contributed significantly already to this impressive start by Golden State.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-reader-unique-id=\"56\">They understand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-reader-unique-id=\"57\">“Klay is going to be Klay. He’s one of the greatest shooters of all time,” Andrew Wiggins said. “Him, Steph, Draymond, they’ve done a lot with this organization. When you think of those guys, you think of Golden State, you think of Golden State basketball, so when Klay comes back that’s rightfully so. His hard work to come back and what he’s done for the organization, when he comes back his spot’s going to be waiting for him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-reader-unique-id=\"58\">One of the lasting memories of Thompson will always be how he reemerged from the tunnel at Oracle Arena after injuring his knee against the Raptors to take his free throws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-reader-unique-id=\"59\">Green can’t wait for Thompson to do his thing at a high level again — and the five-time All-Star guard is determined to shine like he did with a\u003cspan class=\"apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"//apnews.com/article/1cea649fd81841ad9759ec97a054d018\" data-reader-unique-id=\"60\">60-point performance in December 2016\u003c/a>\u003cspan class=\"apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>and 37-point quarter before that in January 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-reader-unique-id=\"61\">“He’s extremely excited and anxious to be back out there. I think you all are feeling the same way, we’re feeling the same way, this fan base is feeling the same way, and most important the world of basketball is feeling the same exact way,” Green said. “Everybody’s looking forward to Klay Thompson being back out there on the floor.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cp>John Madden, the Hall of Fame coach turned broadcaster whose exuberant calls combined with simple explanations provided a weekly soundtrack to NFL games for three decades, died Tuesday morning, the league said. He was 85.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The NFL said he died unexpectedly and did not detail a cause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madden gained fame in a decade-long stint as the coach of the renegade Oakland Raiders, making it to seven AFC title games and winning the Super Bowl following the 1976 season. He compiled a 103-32-7 regular-season record, and his .759 winning percentage is the best among NFL coaches with more than 100 games.\u003cbr>\nhttps://twitter.com/Raiders/status/1475992603254423553\u003cbr>\nBut it was his work after prematurely retiring as coach at age 42 that made Madden truly a household name. He educated a football nation with his use of the telestrator on broadcasts; entertained millions with his interjections of “Boom!” and “Doink!” throughout games; was omnipresent pitching for restaurants, hardware stores and beer; became the face of Madden NFL Football, one of the most successful sports video games of all time; and was a bestselling author.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of all, he was the preeminent television sports analyst for most of his three decades calling games, winning an unprecedented 16 Emmy awards for outstanding sports analyst/personality, and covering 11 Super Bowls for four networks from 1979 to 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People always ask, are you a coach or a broadcaster or a video game guy?” he said when was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. “I’m a coach, always been a coach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He started his broadcasting career at CBS after leaving coaching in great part because of his fear of flying. He and Pat Summerall became the network’s top announcing duo. Madden then helped give Fox credibility as a major network when he moved there in 1994, and went on to call prime-time games at ABC and NBC before retiring following Pittsburgh’s thrilling 27-23 win over Arizona in the 2009 Super Bowl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am not aware of anyone who has made a more meaningful impact on the National Football League than John Madden, and I know of no one who loved the game more,” Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burly and a little unkempt, Madden earned a place in America’s heart with a likable, unpretentious style that was refreshing in a sports world of spiraling salaries and prima donna stars. He rode from game to game in his own bus because of his claustrophobia and because he’d stopped flying. For a time, Madden gave out a “turducken” — a chicken stuffed inside a duck stuffed inside a turkey — to the outstanding player in the Thanksgiving game that he called.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nobody loved football more than Coach. He was football,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. “He was an incredible sounding board to me and so many others. There will never be another John Madden, and we will forever be indebted to him for all he did to make football and the NFL what it is today.”\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he finally retired from the broadcast booth, leaving NBC’s “Sunday Night Football,” colleagues universally praised Madden’s passion for the sport, his preparation and his ability to explain an often-complicated game in down-to-earth terms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No one has made the sport more interesting, more relevant and more enjoyable to watch and listen to than John,” play-by-play announcer Al Michaels said at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For anyone who heard Madden exclaim “Boom!” while breaking down a play, his love of the game was obvious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For me, TV is really an extension of coaching,” Madden wrote in “Hey, Wait a Minute (I Wrote a Book!).”[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Jerry Jones, Dallas Cowboys owner\"]‘I am not aware of anyone who has made a more meaningful impact on the National Football League than John Madden.’[/pullquote]“My knowledge of football has come from coaching. And on TV, all I’m trying to do is pass on some of that knowledge to viewers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madden was raised in Daly City. He played on both the offensive and defensive lines for Cal Poly in 1957-58 and earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madden was chosen to the all-conference team and was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles, but a knee injury ended his hopes of a pro playing career. Instead, Madden got into coaching, first at Hancock Junior College and then as defensive coordinator at San Diego State.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Al Davis brought him to the Raiders as a linebackers coach in 1967, and Oakland went to the Super Bowl in his first year in the pros. He replaced John Rauch as head coach after the 1968 season at age 32, beginning a remarkable 10-year run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With his demonstrative demeanor on the sideline and disheveled look, Madden was the ideal coach for the collection of castoffs and misfits that made up those Raiders teams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes guys were disciplinarians in things that didn’t make any difference. I was a disciplinarian in jumping offsides. I hated that,” Madden once said. “Being in bad position and missing tackles, those things. I wasn’t, ‘Your hair has to be combed.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Raiders responded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I always thought his strong suit was his style of coaching,” quarterback Ken Stabler once said. “John just had a great knack for letting us be what we wanted to be, on the field and off the field. … How do you repay him for being that way? You win for him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And boy, did they ever. Many years, the only problem was the playoffs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madden went 12-1-1 in his first season, losing the AFL title game 17-7 to Kansas City. That pattern repeated itself during his tenure; the Raiders won the division title in seven of his first eight seasons, but went 1-6 in conference title games during that span.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Madden’s Raiders played in some of the sport’s most memorable games of the 1970s, games that helped change rules in the NFL. There was the “Holy Roller” in 1978, when Stabler purposely fumbled forward before being sacked on the final play. The ball rolled and was batted to the end zone before Dave Casper recovered it for the winning touchdown against San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most famous of those games went against the Raiders in the 1972 playoffs at Pittsburgh. With the Raiders leading 7-6 and 22 seconds left, the Steelers had a fourth-and-10 from their 40. Terry Bradshaw’s desperation pass deflected off either Oakland’s Jack Tatum or Pittsburgh’s Frenchy Fuqua to Franco Harris, who caught it at his shoe tops and ran in for a TD.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In those days, a pass that bounced off an offensive player directly to a teammate was illegal, and the debate continues to this day over which player it hit. The catch, of course, was dubbed the “Immaculate Reception.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland finally broke through with a loaded team in 1976 that had Stabler at quarterback; Fred Biletnikoff and Cliff Branch at receiver; tight end Dave Casper; Hall of Fame offensive linemen Gene Upshaw and Art Shell; and a defense that included Willie Brown, Ted Hendricks, Tatum, John Matuszak, Otis Sistrunk and George Atkinson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Raiders went 13-1, losing only a blowout at New England in Week 4.

"content": "\u003cp>California isn’t Las Vegas, Reno or Atlantic City, but there are still plenty of places and ways to legally make a bet here: tribal casinos, card clubs, racetracks and, of course, the more than three-decades-old California State Lottery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with the exception of horse racing, it’s still illegal to bet on sports and athletic competitions in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could soon change because of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/14/us/politics/supreme-court-sports-betting-new-jersey.html\">U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2018\u003c/a> in a case brought by New Jersey that struck down a federal ban on sports betting. The ruling left it up to the states to decide whether or not they wanted to legalize sports wagering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the decision, the floodgates have opened, with more than 30 states legalizing some form of sports betting, most recently New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in states where it’s legal, gambling companies have launched glitzy advertising campaigns to reach potential gamblers, campaigns that feature such celebrities as Ben Affleck, Shaquille O’Neal and Jamie Foxx as brand ambassadors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, the gambling industry has its attention squarely focused on California. It’s trying to use the state’s ballot initiative process to make sports betting, on both professional and college competitions, legal here next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there are rival factions in the industry, each backing its own legalization proposal. They include tribal casinos and racetracks, card clubs, and such popular fantasy sports sites as FanDuel and DraftKings.

"content": "\u003cp>Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night became the league's greatest long-range shooter, breaking the record for 3-point shots and solidifying himself as a player who has revolutionized basketball.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was no real suspense heading into Tuesday night's game at New York's Madison Square Garden. Curry needed to sink just two 3-pointers to break a record held by Hall of Famer Ray Allen. He hit the first one no problem — record tied at 2,973. But then with history waiting, Curry, a player so relaxed on the court he looks like one of those inflatable dancing figures outside a mattress store, didn't exactly tense up, but he said he did become aware of the moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I got the ball coming down, and I could see everybody on that end of the stadium start to slowly stand up, and there was, like, a buzz,\" Curry told reporters afterward. \"So I didn't want to, like, rush it because I knew - that's when you can kind of get in your head trying to, like, force the moment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, then, with 7:33 left in the first quarter, Curry's 2,974th 3-pointer splashed gracefully through the net, followed by a lengthy celebration inside where he hugged his parents, teammates and Allen, whose record stood for 10 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Curry said he would have loved to have set the record at home in front of his Bay Area fans. But doing it in front of his family and Ray Allen and Reggie Miller — who each used to hold the record — and an adoring crowd at Madison Square Garden wasn't a bad alternative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you can’t do it at home, this is definitely a great Plan B,” Curry said Tuesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought the night was perfect,” said Warriors coach Steve Kerr, who called timeout after the record shot to make room for the celebration. “It just pretty much encapsulated who he is and his reaction to it was perfect.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Warriors went on to beat the Knicks 105-96.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/NBA/status/1470917479421693958\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Curry's record could last much longer, as he is currently taking and making 3s better than anyone in basketball, averaging a career-high 5.4 3s per game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the game, teammate Draymond Green, wearing a shirt with Curry's face on it, said the guard could end up beating the record by 1,000 or more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Steph is the best to ever shoot a basketball and we get the opportunity to go to work with him every day and it’s a very special thing,” Green said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Curry set the record on the same New York court where he had a 54-point game in 2013 — before becoming the NBA's two-time MVP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reggie Miller, a former three-point champ himself who did commentary for last night's game on TNT, provided the momentous context: \"The way he changed the game, it's almost like how Babe Ruth changed baseball with the long ball,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his 13 NBA years, Curry has made the long-range shot an essential part of the game. According to SI.com, NBA teams averaged 18 three-point attempts per game in 2009, Curry's first season. Now, thanks to Curry glamorizing the shot, teams average over 35 — for better and worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Purists still grumble about how players at all levels have forsaken fundamental basketball just to jack up 3s. But even purists have to acknowledge Curry's brilliance and efficiency: Allen took 1,300 games to set his record. Curry needed 789.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the crowd Tuesday night, Bob McKillop cheered with everyone else and undoubtedly thought back to when, as the coach at Davidson College, he recruited a skinny but talented kid — the son of Dell Curry, the Charlotte Hornets' all-time leader in points and three-point field goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"After a month of watching him in individual workouts, I went publicly and told a lot of our alums, this is a special young man,\" McKillop told NPR in 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now Curry's a special 33-year-old whose record may end up being out of reach. Check that; it will be, according to Hall of Fame NBA player Charles Barkley, who does commentary for TNT as well. He put Curry's accomplishment alongside Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game and Joe DiMaggio's hitting streak of 56 straight games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He going to set a record that ain't nobody ever going to come to again, and it's beautiful to watch,\" Barkley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Curry speaks with his play, but last night he couldn't resist when goaded by a reporter. Who is the greatest shooter of all time? Curry raised his arms and said, 'I got that, baby.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And no one's arguing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post includes reporting from the Brian Mahoney of the Associated Press.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

But then with history waiting, Curry, a player so relaxed on the court he looks like one of those inflatable dancing figures outside a mattress store, didn't exactly tense up, but he said he did become aware of the moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I got the ball coming down, and I could see everybody on that end of the stadium start to slowly stand up, and there was, like, a buzz,\" Curry told reporters afterward. \"So I didn't want to, like, rush it because I knew - that's when you can kind of get in your head trying to, like, force the moment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, then, with 7:33 left in the first quarter, Curry's 2,974th 3-pointer splashed gracefully through the net, followed by a lengthy celebration inside where he hugged his parents, teammates and Allen, whose record stood for 10 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Curry said he would have loved to have set the record at home in front of his Bay Area fans. But doing it in front of his family and Ray Allen and Reggie Miller — who each used to hold the record — and an adoring crowd at Madison Square Garden wasn't a bad alternative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

According to SI.com, NBA teams averaged 18 three-point attempts per game in 2009, Curry's first season. Now, thanks to Curry glamorizing the shot, teams average over 35 — for better and worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Purists still grumble about how players at all levels have forsaken fundamental basketball just to jack up 3s. But even purists have to acknowledge Curry's brilliance and efficiency: Allen took 1,300 games to set his record. Curry needed 789.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the crowd Tuesday night, Bob McKillop cheered with everyone else and undoubtedly thought back to when, as the coach at Davidson College, he recruited a skinny but talented kid — the son of Dell Curry, the Charlotte Hornets' all-time leader in points and three-point field goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"After a month of watching him in individual workouts, I went publicly and told a lot of our alums, this is a special young man,\" McKillop told NPR in 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now Curry's a special 33-year-old whose record may end up being out of reach. Check that; it will be, according to Hall of Fame NBA player Charles Barkley, who does commentary for TNT as well. He put Curry's accomplishment alongside Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game and Joe DiMaggio's hitting streak of 56 straight games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He going to set a record that ain't nobody ever going to come to again, and it's beautiful to watch,\" Barkley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Curry speaks with his play, but last night he couldn't resist when goaded by a reporter. Who is the greatest shooter of all time? Curry raised his arms and said, 'I got that, baby.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And no one's arguing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post includes reporting from the Brian Mahoney of the Associated Press.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Antigen testing for the women versus PCR [polymerase chain reaction] testing for the men. PCR testing is the gold standard in testing. Just the promotion of the tournament, the fact that the men’s tournament gets just so many more resources that go towards the production of the men’s tournament versus the women’s tournament, signage, making the tournament feel like a big-time event. The men will have a big concert, whereas the women don’t have that entertainment. It’s something that’s lacking in the women’s tournament right now and hopefully will be changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What kind of impact could these findings have in changing the culture of college sports?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The perception of women’s basketball, by the NCAA and promoted by the NCAA, was that women’s basketball was a loser financially. But in fact, through top media consultants, women’s basketball could be a major contributor to the NCAA’s and colleges’ athletic departments’ coffers.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>What are you seeing in the way women’s and men’s teams are treated on the financial side?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label ='Related Coverage' tag='olympics']So much of the content we see on television is not just dictated by viewership but companies willing to sponsor women’s sports. And we really need corporate sponsorship to step up and value women’s sports in the same way that they value men’s sports. And we need sponsorship, not just for television but other platforms and support of the tournament. I think that corporate America understands that women spend a lot of money and that there are so many athletes, so many female athletes, so hopefully, those corporate sponsors will get on board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What can universities do to make a change?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I think universities can help promote women’s sports. They can make sure that on their campus, women are treated fairly and equitably. Let me be really clear, the men’s tournament is a great tournament and it is the cash cow right now of universities in the NCAA. Football is totally separate but the NCAA men’s basketball does support a lot of their programs. But women’s basketball and other sports can be revenue sources as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post includes reporting by NPR’s Josie Fischels.\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Just the promotion of the tournament, the fact that the men’s tournament gets just so many more resources that go towards the production of the men’s tournament versus the women’s tournament, signage, making the tournament feel like a big-time event. The men will have a big concert, whereas the women don’t have that entertainment.

And we really need corporate sponsorship to step up and value women’s sports in the same way that they value men’s sports. And we need sponsorship, not just for television but other platforms and support of the tournament. I think that corporate America understands that women spend a lot of money and that there are so many athletes, so many female athletes, so hopefully, those corporate sponsors will get on board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What can universities do to make a change?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I think universities can help promote women’s sports. They can make sure that on their campus, women are treated fairly and equitably. Let me be really clear, the men’s tournament is a great tournament and it is the cash cow right now of universities in the NCAA. Football is totally separate but the NCAA men’s basketball does support a lot of their programs.
