CBS The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

November 20, 2017

2015 NBA MVP and Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry recently visited the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and while he was there he told Stephen about his work with Nothing But Nets. As a Nothing But Nets Champion, Stephen donates three life-saving, insecticide-treated bednets to the campaign for every three-pointer he makes during the NBA season. For three consecutive seasons, Stephen’s “Three for Three Challenge” has inspired fans, his team, and other organizations to get involved in the fight against malaria.

This year our annual celebration of Golfers Who Give Back is devoted to athletes, and though Curry isn’t No. 1 on Golf Digest’s ranking of Athlete Golfers, he might have been if we combined his golf ability with his commitment to giving back.

Admire, if you dare, the inflated post-deflation numbers of Tom Brady. Salute, as you should, the Grand Slam flirtations of Jordan Spieth and Serena Williams. Even think out of the box, or the barn, and consider American Pharoah as the sporting figure for whom we’ll remember 2015. Or congratulate the small-market Kansas City Royals for finally making the mad dash home that didn’t happen against the Giants last autumn, when the runner stayed on third base.

As we celebrate this season of giving, all of us at Alaska Airlines are honored to feature Melinda Gates In the December issue of our inflight magazine and here on the Alaska Airlines blog. Melinda and Bill Gates have been incredibly successful in their lives – success that is perhaps only matched by their incredible generosity.

Before the doors of the White House opened and he walked inside to meet President Barack Obama for the first time last year, Stephen Curry was overcome by nerves and a little fear. There was concern during much of the morning that Obama wouldn’t really be able to find the five minutes in his schedule to talk to him, and Curry didn’t want to leave a bad impression with the leader of the free world.

IT’S NOT GOING TO LAST, of course, this team, this moment, this selfie of pure unselfishness. It’s too perfect, the way these Golden State Warriors, whose crunch-time five is so small it would fit nicely in a Fiat 500, have become the biggest thing in the NBA, with a possible stop at Best Team Ever.

Rick Reilly is back in these pages, and we are thrilled. It has been more than 400 issues since he wrote the Dec. 3, 2007, Life of Reilly, the back-page space that defined the writer and, to a large extent, SI for more than a decade. From 1996 through ’07, Reilly wrote all but a small handful of our back-page columns; in seven of those years he was named National Sportswriter of the Year.
