The debate over who’s the greatest point guard in NBA history will continue to rage on, but a focal point of the conversation weighed in this week.Stephen Curry is regularly pitted against Magic Johnson in the GOAT of point guards discussion, but the Warriors star voted for himself when asked point-blank by Gilbert Arenas on a recent episode of the “Gil’s Arena” podcast whether he thought he was the best point guard ever.Curry paused for a brief second before turning to Arenas and responding, “Yes.”As Arenas shook his head and silence filled the room, Curry slightly hedged his answer, adding, “I would have to — yes. It’s me and Magic.”Arenas agreed and suggested Curry’s immense influence on the game as a reason the four-time champion might have an edge over Johnson.“We can look at stats and try to judge,” he said. “I wasn’t around with Magic… I know there’s not a lot of 6-9 point gu...Javon Hargrave looks dominant in first game with 49ers, will look better next to Nick Bosa

SANTA CLARA – Defensive tackle Javon Hargrave sure enjoyed his debut in a 49ers uniform at Levi’s Stadium, albeit for a preseason affair.“Still, I felt the energy as soon as I went out there. It was a great feeling,” said Hargrave, the 49ers’ prized acquisition in free agency after he defected from the Philadelphia Eagles.Hargrave and the 49ers’ defensive line await an even greater feeling: Nick Bosa joining them and ending his training camp holdout.It’s believed Bosa’s agent and the 49ers’ brass are in the throes of contract talks, with the outcome still expected to yield the NFL’s largest-ever contract for a non-quarterback. If skipping training camp was Bosa’s preference, this is the final week of such practice. Friday’s game against the Chargers and Bosa’s brother, Nick, is the last before the 49ers essentially switch into regular-season mode.With under three weeks until the Sept. 10 opener in Pittsburgh, defensive coordinator Stev...Alameda County Sheriff's Office seeks help looking for missing woman

The political crisis roiling Pakistan has morphed into a constitutional crisis. The dual crises were kicked into motion when former Prime Minister Imran Khan was removed from power last year and deepened with his recent imprisonment on corruption charges.Last week, the Pakistani authorities moved to charge Khan under Pakistan’s Official Secrets Act for his alleged mishandling of a classified diplomatic cable, known internally as a cipher. The March 7, 2022, cable had been at the center of a controversy in Pakistan, with Khan and his supporters claiming for a year and a half that it showed U.S. pressure to remove the prime minister. Khan publicly revealed the existence of the document in a late March 2022 rally. In April, Khan was removed by a parliamentary vote of no confidence.
