Did Steph Curry Ruined The Game Of Basketball?

In today's episode, we'll dive into the debate surrounding Steph Curry's impact on the NBA. Some argue that his revolutionary three-point shooting has fundamentally changed the game, emphasizing long-range shooting over traditional post play and defense. Others contend that Curry's skills have simply evolved the game, making it more exciting and dynamic.

Ringless: Why Tony Gwynn Never Won A Championship

Tony Gwynn, a baseball legend and one of the greatest hitters of all time, spent his entire 20-year career with the San Diego Padres. A left-handed batter with an exceptional eye for the ball, Gwynn won a record-tying eight National League batting titles, 15 All-Star selections, seven Silver Slugger Awards, and five Gold Glove Awards. His consistent excellence, highlighted by a 19-year streak of batting over .300, solidified his place in baseball history.
However, despite his individual brilliance, Gwynn's career was marked by a notable absence: a World Series championship ring. While he led the Padres to two World Series appearances in 1984 and 1998, they fell short both times. This lack of a championship title remains a curious footnote to an otherwise stellar career, raising the question of what more could have been achieved by one of the game's all-time greats.
Why did the late and great Tony Gywnn never won a ring? 

The Hall of Famer That Wasnt: Edgar Renteria

Rentería is best known for his clutch performances in the World Series. In 1997, he hit a walk-off single to win the World Series for the Florida Marlins. In 2010, he hit two game-winning home runs to lead the San Francisco Giants to a World Series victory.
Rentería was a skilled defensive player and a consistent hitter. He was a four-time All-Star and a two-time Silver Slugger Award winner. He is considered one of the best Colombian baseball players of all time.
However, despite the accolades and heroitcs, Edgar Renteria isnt in the MLB Hall of Fame. Why is that?
