Shaquille O’Neal was one of the several most dominant players ever during his prime, an unstoppable force of size, power, quickness and skill on the interior who guaranteed his team contention.

The generational synergy between Stephen Curry and Draymond Green has been a driving force behind the Golden State Warriors’ dynasty. Green is no Karl Malone as a scorer, obviously, but the two-man game between him and Curry has nevertheless been the NBA’s closest facsimile of the legendary interplay that made Malone, John Stockton and the […]

Stephen Curry is still multiple seasons from seriously mulling retirement. The Golden State Warriors superstar is signed through 2025-26, and his status as the undisputed greatest shooter of all-time would make the four-time champion a high-impact NBA player into his 40s. But there’s also no denying the end of Curry’s legendary career is at least […]

Cade Cunningham has quietly looked like a bona fide franchise player over the last few weeks, Jaden Ivey continues flashing the all-around talent that made him a top-five pick in 2022 and Ausar Thompson’s jumper isn’t looking quite so broken. Finally, there’s at […]

SAN FRANCISCO — Draymond Green seems primed to finish his Hall-of-Fame career having one just a single Defensive Player of the Year award. It’s been six-and-a-half seasons since the Golden State Warriors star raised the trophy as the NBA’s top defender in 2017, a reality detractors would paint as a chink in Green’s loudly self-proclaimed […]

SAN FRANCISCO — The Golden State Warriors fell a season-worst five games below .500 less than six weeks ago.

Being feted alongside his brother, Travis, on Tuesday during the Cleveland Cavaliers’ thrilling home win over the NBA-leading Boston Celtics apparently wasn’t a special enough early retirement celebration for Jason Kelce.

Buzz at the ongoing NFL Combine in Indianapolis […]

The San Francisco 49ers’ stunning midseason trade for Chase Young didn’t exactly live up to the hype.

Stephen Curry and Giannis Antetokounmpo play completely different games. The former stands just 6’3 with average athletic tools but the greatest shooter of all-time, constantly leveraging that threat to create easy scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates even when he’s not splashing triples.
