Draymond Green still remains to be one of the top defenders in the NBA today.

According to Arash Markazi of The Sporting […]

NBA fans in Japan were left disappointed by the news that Klay Thompson was going to sit out both of the Golden State Warriors’ exhibition games against the Washington Wizards due to a lack of fitness.

Ronnie offered a response to Thompson which led to a back-and-forth between Draymond Green and Ronnie 2K. It all began with a Thompson interview after he won a three-point competition. “Ronnie 2K, change my […]

If the last NBA season taught us anything, it’s that Stephen Curry is a petty, petty man. The Golden State Warriors star never forgets when he was slighted by anyone. Once he gets his comeuppance, Curry will repeatedly rub your garbage take in your face. This mentality of his got him to where he is […]

He has finally returned. After a long year spent rehabbing his injury, Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman has returned to action.

Scottie Barnes had one heck of a rookie campaign with the Toronto Raptors last season. Unsurprisingly, however, the reigning Rookie of the Year winner isn’t resting on his laurels one bit.

James Wiseman will be crucial to the Warriors’ future, and at only 21 years of age, the sky is […]

The James Wiseman hype train is about to leave the station yet again.

Stephen Curry isn’t a stranger to large crowds screaming his name. That’s something the Golden State Warriors point guard shares in common with BTS member Suga.

What also cannot be denied, however, is that the Warriors’ […]

The Golden State Warriors have won four of the last eight NBA titles after their 2022 championship.

The problem is, the odds are stacked against another Stephen Curry and the Warriors NBA Finals trip. […]

The Golden State Warriors are on top of the basketball world yet again after claiming their fourth title over the past decade with a triumph over the Boston Celtics in the 2022 NBA Finals.

It’s always naive to trust what you hear on Media Day, especially when players are tasked with giving inherently loaded responses regarding their long-term future.

Like fellow rookie Patrick Baldwin Jr., Ryan Rollins knows that his path to regular playing time with the Golden State Warriors this season relies on defense first and foremost.

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman was in the center of much controversy back in late 2019 when he was deemed ineligible by the NCAA to play for the Memphis Tigers after head coach Penny Hardaway was found guilty of paying Wiseman’s family $11,500 back in 2017 to incentive them to move from Nashville to […]

The Golden State Warriors are the envy of the NBA right now.

Draymond Green, Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins made abundantly clear at Media Day that potential contract stalemates ahead of free agency next summer won’t get in the way of the Golden State Warriors’ quest for another championship. Just because they’re more focused on winning consecutive titles than signing extensions, though, hardly means the topic of […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo staked a forceful claim as the best player in the world while leading his short-handed team to a road Game 7 in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Stephen Curry was somehow even more dominant against the Boston Celtics’ historically stingy defense with a title on the line, taking home his first Finals MVP award […]

James Wiseman has been through quite a lot over the past two years. After being drafted by the Golden State Warriors as the No. 2 overall pick in 2020, the 7-foot big man ended up missing more than half of his rookie campaign due to a brutal injury. Wiseman suffered a torn meniscus on his […]

Curry revealed that he too got on the phone with NBA […]

Stephen Curry already made abundantly clear he plans on playing past the life of his current contract, which extends through the 2025-26 season.

Jordan Poole proved what he’s worth during the Golden State Warriors’ championship run, and maintained on Sunday that there’s “no ceiling” to how much better he can get after a breakout campaign in 2021-22. As his team begins official preparations for the 2022-23 season, though, Poole’s focus seems squarely on winning another title—not the uncertainty […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo has already achieved so much in his career. He’s already won back-to-back MVP titles as well as an NBA championship. Nevertheless, it is clear that Giannis has no intention of resting on his laurels. In a recent press conference, Antetokounmpo reveals how motivated he remains to be at this point in his career. […]

Stephen Curry seemed like he couldn’t believe it when he was told Giannis Antetokounmpo called him the best player in the world. Not because the prospect of that lavish praise coming from another player with a claim to basketball’s individual throne is so outlandish, though. Instead, the Golden State Warriors superstar just misunderstood the question […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Stephen Curry both had the opportunity to take down the Boston Celtics in the playoffs last season.

Here are three hottest burning questions Golden State […]

Continuity is key to the Golden State Warriors’ hopes of repeating as NBA champions in 2022-23. Barring a significant injury to Stephen Curry or one of his teammates trying to sulk his way out of the Bay, don’t expect Golden State to make any major trades this season. The stakes of back-to-back titles are simply […]

The Golden State Warriors’ wait is over. Andre Iguodala announced on Friday that he’s putting off retirement to play a 19th and final NBA season.
