Stephen Curry’s GOAT Contender: An Animated Goat Taking the Court
Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry has entered the NBA GOAT (Greatest of All Time) debate with a unique twist: an animated goat playing basketball.
Curry’s Cryptic All-Star Weekend Revelation
During the 2023 NBA All-Star Weekend in San Francisco, Curry took to social media to share his enigmatic take on the GOAT conversation. Instead of naming established legends like Michael Jordan, LeBron James, or Kobe Bryant, Curry teased his upcoming animated film, simply titled "Goat."
"Goat": An Original Animated Sports Comedy
The "Goat" movie poster features a goat dribbling a basketball with the tagline, "This kid’s got game." The film is an original animated sports comedy set to release in theaters on February 13, 2026, coinciding with the 75th NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles.
Curry’s Production Team
Curry serves as a producer on "Goat," alongside Erick Peyton of Unanimous Media, Michelle Raimo Kouyate ("The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story," "Silver Linings Playbook"), Adam Rosenberg ("Creed 3"), and Academy Award winner Rodney Rothman ("Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse").
Creative Team
Tyree Dillihay ("Bob’s Burgers") is set to direct the film, co-directed by Adam Rosette ("Orion and the Dark"). Aaron Buchsbaum and Teddy Riley ("Fairfax") are penning the screenplay, while David Schulenburg ("The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story," "Spider-Ham: Caught in a Ham") will co-produce.
Rick Mischel ("Open Season: Call of Nature") and Fonda Snyder ("Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum") will serve as executive producers.
Curry’s Extensive Production Credits
Curry has established himself not only as an NBA MVP but also as a versatile producer. He served as producer on the 2024 Peacock comedy TV show "Mr. Throwback," in which he starred as himself.
Curry’s 11th All-Star Game
Amidst the "Goat" movie hype, Curry is set to participate in his 11th All-Star Game. He will join Team Shaq, alongside LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Jayson Tatum, his former teammates on the gold medal-winning 2024 U.S. Olympic basketball team.
Conclusion
Stephen Curry’s enigmatic "GOAT" revelation and the announcement of his upcoming animated film have sparked excitement and intrigue among basketball fans and film enthusiasts alike. While the debate over the NBA’s greatest of all time continues, Curry’s unique contribution to the discussion, featuring an animated protagonist, promises to add a fresh and entertaining perspective.
