Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors will host LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers on Christmas in what will be yet another primetime showdown between two of the best players in league history.

Dreams can come true. Lakers rookie Quincy Olivare went from getting jerseys signed by Stephen Curry as a kid to landing a shoe deal with Curry's brand.

It feels bizarre to say, but Stephen Curry is playing in his 16th year in the NBA. It certainly doesn’t feel like it’s been that long. His peak with the Warriors only just started about a decade ago and he spent most of his early years in the NBA battling ankle injuries.

But Curry has slipped into a bit of a slump. Even counting that surge against the Timberwolves on Saturday night, he is shooting 38 percent in eight December games, creaky numbers that began right around the time his knee tendinitis started popping up on the injury report.

Pascal Siakam gave Indiana the lead for good with a three-point play with 4:43 remaining, Andrew Nembhard harassed Stephen Curry into a poor shooting night and the Pacers earned a 111-105 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Monday in San Francisco.
