Golden State Warriors All-Star Stephen Curry is weighing in on the NBA GOAT conversation, sort of.

“A lot of debate but there can only be one GOAT,” Curry shared on social media Saturday during the 74th NBA All-Star Weekend, which returned to the San Francisco, Bay Area for the first time since 2000. Instead of mentioning the likes of Michael Jordan, LeBron James or Kobe Bryant, Curry teased his upcoming film, “Goat.”

Curry released the official movie poster for “Goat,” which is set to hit theaters on Feb. 13, 2026. The release date coincides with the 75th NBA All-Star weekend in Los Angeles next year. Curry will serve as the producer of the original animated sports comedy, which features an actual goat playing basketball.

“This kid’s got game,” the film’s poster reads.

Alongside Curry, Unanimous Media’s Erick Peyton, 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”) will serve as producers.

Tyree Dillihay (Bob’s Burgers) is set to direct, alongside co-director Adam Rosette (Orion and the Dark). Aaron Buchsbaum and Teddy Riley (Fairfax) are writing the screenplay. David Schulenburg (The Spider Within: a Spider-Verse Story, Spider-Ham: Caught in a Ham) is set to co-produce, while Rick Mischel (Open Season: Call of Nature) and Fonda Snyder (Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum) will serve as executive producers.

Curry has several producing credits to his name. He served as producer of the 2024 Peacock comedy TV show “Mr. Throwback,” which he also starred in as himself.

Curry is set to participate in his 11th All-Star Game. He’s on Team Shaq, alongside Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James, Phoenix Suns’ Kevin Durant and Boston Celtics’ Jayson Tatum, who were all teammates on the 2024 U.S. men’s basketball Olympic team that won gold at the Paris Olympics.
