Brian Windhorst praises Steph Curry GOAT over Space Jam 2
Speaking on the Hoop Collective podcast, Brian Windhorst said: “I went with my son’s basketball team to see the GOAT movie last weekend: Steph Curry’s movie. I don’t know.
“He’s the executive producer, but I don’t know if it’s his movie, but it’s awesome. … Listen, like with all due respect to Space Jam 2. GOAT is ‘The GOAT’. That’s all I’m going to say.”
The remark framed Curry’s animated project as superior entertainment, even while acknowledging LeBron James’ role in Space Jam: A New Legacy.
Windhorst’s comparison reignited the friendly rivalry between the two NBA icons.
What Steph Curry’s GOAT movie is about
GOAT centres on a young goat named Will who pursues his dreams in a fictional sport known as roarball. Stephen Curry voices the character Lenny Williamson and also serves as an executive producer through his company, Unanimous Media.
The animated film features a cast that includes Caleb McLaughlin, Gabrielle Union, Nick Kroll, and David Harbour. The project aligns with Curry’s broader production portfolio, which blends sports themes with family-focused storytelling.
Unanimous Media previously backed Curry’s autobiographical documentary Underrated, which explored his early basketball journey and earned a strong reception on streaming platforms.
Windhorst’s endorsement adds further spotlight to GOAT as Curry continues expanding his influence beyond the hardwood.
