6 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MY BROTHER, STEPH CURRY

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
On the first day of preseason volleyball practice last year, Sydel Curry dislocated her knee cap. And with that, Elon's promising freshman setter was out for the year, using her redshirt season to rehabilitate her knee.

She returned in 2015 and had a solid season for the D1 Phoenix, and looks to be a key future building block for Elon. She comes from some of the very best sports DNA imaginable -- her dad, Dell, was a longtime NBA pro, and her mom, Sonya, played volleyball at Virginia Tech. Brother Seth played hoops at Duke.

Also, you may have heard of Steph Curry? He's Sydel Curry's older brother. Plays for the Golden State Warriors. He might win the NBA MVP this year.

As the Warriors gear up for a title run, his sister offered a new window into Stephen, as she refers to him.

1. Stephen can be a real goofball.

He is super goofy. Whenever I had friends over as a kid, he was always messing with us or playing little jokes on us, being really silly. Sometimes he'd hide in my closet and make little noises and try to scare us. Remember the movie "Scream?" We used to have a mask and he'd sometimes pop out of nowhere with it on and scare us. I think he was 14 at the time. He hasn't grown out of his goofy side. He's the funniest person I know. I don't see him as much as I used to, but I hear from his wife, Ayesha, about him doing really crazy things. Now that he has a daughter, he'll be just as goofy with her. He'll roll around the floor with her literally like he's 6 years old.

2. There have been, um, some cheating allegations.

Steph, Seth and my dad are super competitive. Seth was always like, 'Mom, Stephen's cheating.' Stephen would respond, like a really innocent kid, 'No I'm not. Seth is lying.' It was pretty funny, because as the older brother, Stephen was super sweet. But Seth was always saying he was cheating, because he hated to lose. So they'd go back and forth about that. Stephen was quiet but super competitive, and he wouldn't get in your face about it -- the same way he is now.

3. One of the "Splash Brothers" loves "The Princess Diaries" (Hint: It's not Klay Thompson).

As kids, we were huge movie fans. Even to this day, we'll hear a song and we're like, "Oh my gosh, what movie?" and we'll go back and forth naming whatever movie or song the line came from. Same with lines from movies. I was a huge fan of "The Princess Diaries" and would watch it literally every day. He'd watch it with me, so he kind of knows the words to that. "A Walk to Remember" is one of my favorites, and we've gone back and forth on Twitter, spitting out lines. People were like, "Oh my gosh, Stephen likes 'A Walk to Remember,'" and I was like, "Nope, it's because of me." He liked really goofy movies, too, like "Major Payne," "The Mask" and "The Master of Disguise." He likes to think that he can sound like the characters from those movies. From "The Master of Disguise," he'll say, "Am I not turtley enough for the turtle club?"

4. He gets pretty excited before games.

Stephen looks calm, but he can get hyped up. A good example of that: In high school, Stephen and his team were in the locker room getting super hyped before a Christmas tournament game, jumping up and down, trying to get into it. The next thing I know, Stephen's in the back getting stitches right before the game starts. He jumped so high that he hit his forehead and busted it open.

5. He loves numbers, and not just his stat line.

Stephen is really, really smart, especially in math. He used to say he wanted to be one of the people from that show "Numb3rs." We always joked about his birthday, March 14, being Pi Day, and he had a phase where he was really into Sudoku.

6. He's the kindest killer on the court.

You'd never know Stephen might be the NBA's MVP. That's the biggest thing I love about him -- he has not changed from when he was 6 years old to now, as a 27-year-old. He has such a kind heart and works hard for everything he has, and continues to work. If I randomly FaceTime him and he doesn't answer, he'll always FaceTime me back. For me, right now being in college and away from all my family, being literally on opposite coasts from him, that's the kind of thing that I value the most from him.

A Defense of Listicles

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Lists are everywhere. They're the bread and butter of sites like Cracked and BuzzFeed, and regular content or sporadic filler at dozens more. (Yes, even WIRED.) From the multimedia gallery to the humble top 10, list-format articles - listicles - are rapidly becoming the lingua franca of new-media journalism.

They've met with no end of resistance from the old guard, cantankerous readers and old-school journalists convinced that listicles (and their admittedly unfortunate portmanteau) are rotting our brains, destroying our attention spans, and generally contributing to the decay of all that is right and good. Listicles have been picked apart, analyzed, attacked, explained, and defended.

Are lists overused? Probably. Useful things often are, and lists are really, really useful. Here's why we like 'em, and why they probably won't - and probably shouldn't - go anywhere soon.
1. Lists Curate
Welcome to the information age! With the entire Internet at your fingertips, you can now devote the time you once spent reading a single daily paper to exhaustively sifting through hundreds of subtly different news sites or painstakingly researching, building, and maintaining your own list of favorite reporters and commentators.

With near-infinite information at hand, and reporting moving at more and more breakneck speeds to keep pace with social media, it's easily to end up either trapped by choice paralysis or whittling away hours on end trying to keep up.

Regardless of Reddit's motto, there is no front page of the Internet; but lists, at their best, give us focused, annotated tables of contents. They're lane-markers in the deep end.
2. Lists Give Us Additional Ways to Interact With Information
The way we're presented with information changes the way we process and interpret it. Lists let us process complicated information spatially, transforming it from cluster to linear progression. Lists can be categories; they can be timelines; but either way, they place digestible bites of information in context of a larger whole. I could have written this up as an essay, but in addition to the obvious smug parallelism ("Look! It's a list about lists! Aren't I clever?" said every journalist in 2014), making it a list changes the way you interpret the information and ideas I'm laying out from a monolithic structure to an active progression.

Lists can also be a good way to engage readers directly, inviting them to connect the dots. (That's true in fiction, as well. For a great example of the narrative power of lists, check out the Tim O'Brien story "The Things They Carried," in the collection of the same name.) That goes double if you have to click through to proceed, taking you from passive consumer to active collaborator.
3. Lists Are Jumping-On Points
Lists are not a substitute for long-form reporting; nor is long-form reporting a substitute for lists. They're different formats, suited to different subjects and different ends. Form follows function: You don't (ideally) write a eulogy on the back of a receipt, and you don't bring a thousand-word essay to the grocery store.

Lists are the survey courses to long-form's advanced study. A long-form article will take you through one topic in considerable depth; a list, compiled thoughtfully, will skim the surface of a broader body of content, giving you a series of contact points from which to explore further in your own time.
4. Lists Are Ethically Neutral
Lists are not rotting your brain or lowering the standards of journalism.

This is not to say that there aren't bad lists and sloppy lists and lists that would make a lot more sense in another format, nor that those things aren't problems. But they're problems with writing and editing, not a flaw of the format. Lists are not fundamentally vapid or valuable. They're just another tool in the box.

And no matter what the Guardian may tell you, they're not that much easier to put together than regular articles, but then, Poole's "list" is actually just a long-form essay with numbered paragraphs, so maybe he's confused.
5. Lists Are Not Giving You ADHD
Do you even know what ADHD actually is? Or is it just a word you throw around when you want to complain about how much better things were in the Grand Old Days when you had to walk ten miles through waist-deep snow to put captions on cats, and the nuns hit you with yardsticks if you so much as looked at an article with bullet points?

You should know better, for so many reasons. Here, I've got a list...

5 Reasons Listicles Are Here to Stay, and Why That's OK

The Trump administration announced Tuesday it would end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, in six months if Congress doesn't find a more permanent solution.

Since it was enacted under President Barack Obama, about 800,000 immigrants who were children when they arrived in the U.S. illegally have received protections from the program. They include stay of deportation and the ability to legally work and go to school. In a tweet Tuesday evening, Trump signaled he supports legalizing DACA, saying he would revisit the issue if Congress can't legalize the program.

Here's a look at who will be affected when DACA ends, why the program remains controversial and what happens next:
1. What is DACA?
DACA is the acronym for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, a program created in 2012 by the Obama administration allowing young people brought to this country illegally by their parents to get a temporary reprieve from deportation and to receive permission to work, study and obtain driver's licenses.

DACA applicants had to be younger than 31 years old when the program began. They also had to prove that they had lived in the United States continuously since June 15, 2007, and that they had arrived in the U.S. before the age of 16.

Those signing up for DACA must show that they have clean criminal records. They have to be enrolled in high school or college, or serve in the military. Their status is renewable every two years.
2. Who are the DREAMers?
There are about 800,000 DACA recipients, also known as DREAMers, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Most arrived from Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. There are also several thousand from Asia, primarily South Korea and the Philippines. They reside in every state, with the largest concentrations in California (222,795), Texas (124,300), New York (41,970), Illinois (42,376) and Florida (32,795).

Loading...

The term DREAMer is derived from a legislative bill, first introduced in 2001, called the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act. It has yet to be approved by Congress.
3. Why was DACA created?
Unable to find a legislative remedy to protect minors who were brought to this country through no fault of their own, the Obama administration created the DACA program through executive action in June 2012. Conservatives accused Obama of overstepping his authority, but they brought no legal challenge.

The DREAMers are a highly organized group of young people who argue that, after being raised and educated here in the U.S., they are Americans who only lack legal recognition.

At the time DACA was created, Obama's executive action had strong public support according to a 2012 Pew Research Center survey, which found that 63 percent of those polled approved of the program.

A more recent poll by NBC News/Survey Monkey found that nearly two-thirds of Americans favor allowing the DREAMers to stay in the U.S.
4. Why did Trump end DACA?
During the campaign, Donald Trump railed against illegal immigration and promised to reverse what he called President Obama's "unconstitutional" executive actions.

But as president, Trump began backtracking. Early on, he said a decision about the fate of the DREAMers was "very difficult" for him, but "we're going to show great heart." As recently as last week when he was asked about his impending decision, Trump said "we love the DREAMers."

Conservatives, who had anticipated swift action from Trump, repeatedly urged the new president to keep his pledge and " pull the plug" on DACA.

In June, 10 Republican attorneys general moved to force Trump's hand. In a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions, they threatened to launch a legal challenge against DACA by seeking to amend a lawsuit stalled in federal court. That lawsuit opposed another Obama executive action called DAPA, or Deferred Action for Parents of Americans. (Announced in November 2014, DAPA would have expanded DACA protections to certain undocumented parents whose children are legal residents or citizens of the U.S.)

The Republican attorneys general, led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, gave Trump until today, Sept. 5, to decide DACA's fate.
5. Will the DREAMers be forced to leave?
Not immediately.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, DACA will be phased out, with an official end in six months.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will process all new applications received as of Sept. 5 and then stop accepting applications. DREAMers whose work permits expire before March 5, 2018, can apply for a two-year renewal, but they must meet an upcoming Oct. 5 deadline. The government will not terminate "previously issued deferred action or revoke Employment Authorization Documents."

But the announcement by DHS also ends on an ominous (for DREAMers) note: DHS will "continue to exercise its discretionary authority to terminate or deny deferred action for any reason, at any time, with or without notice."

The process announced by U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions is designed to "create a time period for Congress to act - should it so choose."

There is no way of knowing whether Congress will ever come to the DREAMers' rescue and craft a plan that salvages any of the protections brought by DACA. In a statement about DACA, President Trump called on Congress to act, but he did not specifically endorse legislation to preserve it.

It is also not clear that if Congress fails to act, DREAMers immediately would become ripe targets for deportation. In his statement Tuesday, President Trump said, "I have advised the Department of Homeland Security that DACA recipients are not enforcement priorities unless they are criminals, are involved in criminal activity, or are members of a gang."

Trump tweeted Tuesday night that he will "revisit this issue" if Congress doesn't legalize DACA.

Congress now has 6 months to legalize DACA (something the Obama Administration was unable to do). If they can't, I will revisit this issue!
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 6, 2017

But DACA advocates say they already have documented cases in which DREAMers, with valid DACA protections, were apparently targeted by agents of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
