The Golden State Warriors currently possess a respectable roster capable of postseason success, but they could make a groundbreaking move in the future that would shock the NBA world. The Warriors could make another championship run in the late 2020s by bringing together their Top 4 contributors from 2016-19. “The Golden State Warriors could break the sports world by doing something that’s never been done before in NBA history,” Empire Sports Media’s Matthew Legros wrote Monday. “Right now, the Warriors look strong. Stephen Curry is still in his prime. So is Andrew Wiggins. Draymond Green is anchoring them on both ends per usual and their young talent pool is elite.” “But Curry, 36, and Green, 34, are nearing 40 years old. Their championship window, which is still open, won’t remain that way forever." "That’s why they should reunite with a couple of former teammates to win a historic championship in the twilight of their careers.” “Curry has a style of play that could enable him to still average 20-plus points per night and continue being an elite marksman from outside at 40.” “Durant’s unselfish approach, coupled with his size and feel for the game would make him another aging superstar who could still be an effective, low-usage scorer.” “The same goes for Thompson, who doesn’t need to dribble to catch fire. So long as Green remains agile, he could still make sound reads and distribute to those three.” “With a slew of youthful defensive specialists around them and one more potent scorer to serve as a failsafe for the injury-prone Curry, Durant, and Thompson, Golden State could realistically win one more championship five years from now.” “If the opportunity presents itself, the Warriors’ big four could be the first unit to run the table in such a fashion and would make for entertainment value unlike anything the NBA world has seen before.” The Warriors secured two titles with Durant, Curry, Green, and Thompson running the show. The organization defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers twice before falling to the Toronto Raptors in the 2019 finals. Following the devastating end to the 2018-19 season, Durant joined the Brooklyn Nets during free agency, lowering Golden State’s chances of dominating the NBA in the future. Surprisingly, the Warriors returned to the finals in 2022 and took down the Boston Celtics in six games to win their sixth championship in franchise history. However, after a miserable showing in the No. 9 vs. No. 10 Western Conference Play-In game last season, Thomas inked a deal with the Dallas Mavericks in July, officially ending the Warriors' dynasty. Will the Warriors’ Big 4 reunite for a final farewell tour in a few years? Perhaps, but the four studs appear to be focused on doing whatever it takes to achieve success in the present.

She conveyed her condolences to the bereaved family members of Dr. Singh. The participants observed a two-minute silence as a mark of respect to the former Prime Minister. Leader of the Opposition in the A.P. Legislative Council Botcha Satyanarayana, YSRCP district president Gudivada Amarnath and other YSRCP leaders garlanded a portrait of Dr. Singh at a condolence meeting held at the YSRCP office on Saturday. Mr. Satyanarayana said the nation lost a great leader, who placed India on the path of progress. The ‘Food For Work’ scheme initiated by Dr. Singh helped the poor make a living. Mr. Amarnath recalled Dr. Singh’s contribution to the expansion of Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP) and the protection of other public sector undertakings in Visakhapatnam such as Hindustan Shipyard Limited and Bharat Heavy Plate and Vessel through their merger with the defence sector and with Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited respectively. Former MP B. Jhansi said the economic reforms introduced by Dr. Singh will help future generations reap the benefit. Noted physician Kutikuppala Surya Rao, in a statement, described Dr. Singh as a great intellectual and economist. Dr. Surya Rao said it was his fortune that he received the Padma Shri in presence of Dr. Singh. He said he had an opportunity to interact with Dr. Singh at the High Tea given by the President at the Rashtrapathi Bhavan. K.V. Ramana, principal of Government Institute of Chemical Engineering-Visakhapatnam, said: “It was during Dr. Singh’s tenure that Aadhaar, which gave a unique identity to the common people, was launched. The ‘Food for Work’ scheme and the Right To Information (RTI) Act were brought in during his tenure as Prime Minister.” “I had also participated in the 95 th Indian Science Congress held at Andhra University in January 2008, wherein Dr. Manmohan Singh delivered the keynote address. I had presented a paper and poster in mathematical sciences and got a certificate, which is an unforgettable memory in my academic and professional life,” Mr. Ramana added.

JERUSALEM — A new round of Israeli airstrikes in Yemen on Thursday targeted the Houthi rebel-held capital and multiple ports, while the World Health Organization's director-general said the bombardment occurred nearby as he prepared to board a flight in Sanaa, with a crew member injured. "The air traffic control tower, the departure lounge — just a few meters from where we were — and the runway were damaged," Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on social media. He added that he and U.N. colleagues were safe. "We will need to wait for the damage to the airport to be repaired before we can leave," he said, without mentioning the source of the bombardment. U.N. spokesperson Stephanie Tremblay later said the injured person was with the U.N. Humanitarian Air Service. Israel's army later told The Associated Press it wasn't aware that the WHO chief or delegation were at the location in Yemen. Smoke rises Thursday from the area around the International Airport after an airstrike in Sanaa, Yemen. The Israeli strikes followed several days of Houthi launches setting off sirens in Israel. The Israeli military said in a statement it attacked infrastructure used by the Iran-backed Houthis at the international airport in Sanaa and ports in Hodeida, Al-Salif and Ras Qantib, along with power stations, claiming they were used to smuggle in Iranian weapons and for the entry of senior Iranian officials. Israel's military added it had "capabilities to strike very far from Israel's territory — precisely, powerfully, and repetitively." The strikes, carried out more than 1,000 miles from Jerusalem, came a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said "the Houthis, too, will learn what Hamas and Hezbollah and Assad's regime and others learned" as his military has battled those more powerful proxies of Iran. The Houthi-controlled satellite channel al-Masirah reported multiple deaths and showed broken windows, collapsed ceilings and a bloodstained floor and vehicle. Iran's foreign ministry condemned the strikes. The U.S. military also targeted the Houthis in recent days. The U.N. says the targeted ports are important entryways for humanitarian aid for Yemen, the poorest Arab nation that plunged into a civil war in 2014. Over the weekend, 16 people were wounded when a Houthi missile hit a playground in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv, while other missiles and drones were shot down. Last week, Israeli jets struck Sanaa and Hodeida, killing nine people, calling it a response to previous Houthi attacks. The Houthis also have been targeting shipping on the Red Sea corridor, calling it solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. The U.N. Security Council has an emergency meeting Monday in response to an Israeli request that it condemn the Houthi attacks and Iran for supplying them weapons. Relatives and friends mourn over the bodies of five Palestinian journalists Thursday who were killed by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City at the Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah. Meanwhile, an Israeli strike killed five Palestinian journalists outside a hospital in Gaza overnight, the territory's Health Ministry said. The strike hit a car outside Al-Awda Hospital in the built-up Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. The journalists worked for local news outlet Al-Quds Today, a television channel affiliated with the Islamic Jihad militant group. Islamic Jihad is a smaller and more extreme ally of Hamas and took part in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack in southern Israel that ignited the war. Israel's military identified four of the men as combat propagandists and said that intelligence, including a list of Islamic Jihad operatives found by soldiers in Gaza, confirmed that all five were affiliated with the group. Associated Press footage showed the incinerated shell of a van, with press markings visible on the back doors. The Committee to Protect Journalists says more than 130 Palestinian reporters have been killed since the start of the war. Israel hasn't allowed foreign reporters to enter Gaza except on military embeds. Israel banned the pan-Arab Al Jazeera network and accuses six of its Gaza reporters of being militants. The Qatar-based broadcaster denies the allegations and accuses Israel of trying to silence its war coverage, which has focused heavily on civilian casualties from Israeli military operations. Mourners cry Thursday while they take the last look at the body of a relative, one of eight Palestinians killed, during their funeral in the West Bank city of Tulkarem. Separately, Israel's military said a 35-year-old reserve soldier was killed during fighting in central Gaza. A total of 389 soldiers have been killed in Gaza since the start of the ground operation. The war began when Hamas-led militants stormed across the border, killing around 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting about 250. About 100 hostages are still inside Gaza, at least a third of whom are believed to be dead. Israel's air and ground offensive has killed more than 45,000 Palestinians, according to the Health Ministry. It says more than half the fatalities are women and children, but doesn't say how many of the dead were fighters. The offensive caused widespread destruction and hunger and drove around 90% of the population of 2.3 million from their homes. Hundreds of thousands are packed into squalid camps along the coast, with little protection from the cold, wet winter. Also Thursday, people mourned eight Palestinians killed by Israeli military operations in and around Tulkarem in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. The Israeli military said it opened fire after militants attacked soldiers, and it was aware of uninvolved civilians who were harmed in the raid.
