The Rice of 1999 and 2000 had become a No. 2 option to Terrell Owens and failed to break 900 yards receiving both years. The day of his big farewell at Candlestick Park, Owens caught 20 passes for 283 yards in a win over the Chicago Bears, upstaging the then-38-year-old Rice for the last time.

Even the superstars need that reinforcement, and that's how Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry feels with Jimmy Butler on his team. When Butler was traded to the Warriors, it sparked some concern from outsiders. However, the immediate impacts are too evident to deny.

Steph Curry credits Butler's arrival for his 2-game mini-breakout — 72 points in 68 minutes on 22-of-43 shooting, with 14 3-pointers.
