It was barely more than a year ago that Donte DiVincenzo started every regular season game for the Milwaukee Bucks, entering the playoffs as a key member of the core surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo. Not only was he going to play a crucial role in Milwaukee’s quest for a championship, but DiVincenzo seemed on the verge […]

There has been a lot of slander thrown in the direction of Russell Westbrook for pretty much his entire debut season with the Los Angeles Lakers. Now that he’s gone through a full campaign with LA, the criticism continues to be as loud as ever. Golden State Warriors veteran Andre Iguodala has had enough of […]

The Golden State Warriors just keep on winning. It’s been nearly a month since the Dubs lifted their fourth championship in the span of eight years, but at this point, the awards still keep on coming. The latest recipient of another noteworthy honor is Ron Adams, an assistant coach on Steve Kerr’s staff. The 74-year-old […]

The expectations were extremely high for Andrew Wiggins when he entered the NBA as the first overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft. The fact that he was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers inevitably led to comparisons with the great LeBron James — something that Wiggins himself continues to rue to this very day. Speaking […]

The endless conversation about Stephen Curry’s place in basketball’s historic individual hierarchy began even before he broke down in tears on the Boston Celtics’ home floor, overwhelmed by the prospect of winning his fourth title and first NBA Finals MVP. While his status as a peerless all-time great has been ironclad for years, Curry’s latest […]

The Golden State Warriors weren’t quite able to retain their championship roster this summer after all. Key reserves Gary Payton II and Otto Porter earned big-money raises on the open market that proved too expensive for Golden State, while bit players like Juan Toscano-Anderson, Damion Lee and Nemanja Bjelica decided to continue their careers elsewhere. […]

The 2022 Summer League is in action and it will showcase the rematch of the 2022 NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors. It’s time to continue our NBA odds series with a Celtics-Warriors prediction and pick. This Finals rematch clearly won’t have the same players, nor the hype, but it will […]

It’s been four years since Klay Thompson began offseason training with a completely clean bill of health. By no coincidence, that’s also the same amount of time that elapsed between the Golden State Warriors winning the third and fourth titles of basketball’s only ongoing dynasty. Thompson, finally, is back to living his best summer life, […]

Andre Iguodala is one of the most well-respected veterans in the league right now. The Golden State Warriors elder statesman is one of just three players left from the 2004 NBA draft and has been in the league for quite some time now. That’s why his most recent Giannis Antetokounmpo hot take will certainly turn […]

The Golden State Warriors have an enviable mix of veteran stars and emerging youth that makes them the poster child of idyllic team-building to win now and in the future. It certainly helps that they have an owner in Joe Lacob willing to spend endlessly to keep the team as competitive as possible. The Warriors […]

Kevin Durant has virtually taken the entire NBA offseason hostage with his request for a trade from the Brooklyn Nets. Among the many teams inquiring into his services, it’s been reported that his former employer, the Golden State Warriors, at least made the necessary calls to inquire on what it would take to trade for […]

The storyline of this NBA offseason so far is Kevin Durant asking the Brooklyn Nets for a trade. There have been many teams linked to a possible move, but their asking price remains steep, which means a deal has yet to be completed. On Monday, Sportscenter discussed the KD drama and one anchor proceeded to […]

James Wiseman stole the show in the Golden State Warriors’ 86-85 win over the San Antonio Spurs at Las Vegas Summer League, celebrating his highly anticipated and long-awaited return to the floor with a thunderous lob dunk, pull-up three-pointer and pair of impressive blocks all in the game’s first four minutes. He wasn’t nearly as […]

The NBA world was rocked by the news of Kevin Durant requesting a trade. The former MVP has four years remaining on his contract and is one of the greatest players to ever hit the trade market. The Nets are holding a sky-high bar for what they expect in return for the superstar. Each team […]

Is Stephen Curry cool with having Kevin Durant return to the Golden State Warriors? Nobody knows for sure, but even if he is, Curry is not going to do any Kevin Durant recruiting in public. That’s for sure. Recall that the Warriors are fresh off an NBA championship — their fourth in the last eight […]

James Wiseman is finally back on the NBA hardcourt, and the Golden State Warriors star couldn’t be any happier that he has made it to this point. The Warriors big man missed all of the 2021-22 season due to a knee injury that required surgery. In fact, he hasn’t played in 526 days prior to […]

James Wiseman played his first real basketball game on Sunday since April 10th, 2020. The stakes at Las Vegas Summer League aren’t exactly high and the competition isn’t quite championship-level. Still, Wiseman provided ample and immediate reason for optimism about his once wayward career trajectory as the Golden State Warriors took on the San Antonio […]

Klay Thompson’s Game 6 performance in the 2016 Western Conference Finals was hard to top. After all, it was when the miracle of Game 6 Klay was born. However, for Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob, Stephen Curry has already surpassed that display. Speaking with Tim Kawakami of The Athletic, Lacob opened up why he […]

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant opened up once again about their highly intense and physical fight with the Golden State Warriors in the 2022 playoffs, including his controversial “broke the code” tweet that was seemingly directed at Jordan Poole. To recall, Morant was forced to exit Game 3 of the second round showdown due to […]

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant is not yet done taking a shot at the Golden State Warriors and talking about his “real estate” diss to them after their 2022 championship. Morant couldn’t help but be confused why the Warriors were too concerned about what they did and said months and weeks ago even after winning […]

Stephen Curry is clearly still on a high from not just winning his fourth championship in eight seasons with the Golden State Warriors, but finally taking home NBA Finals MVP, too. He’s been celebrating those achievements this weekend at the American Century Golf Championship in South Lake Tahoe, catching touchdown passes from Green Bay Packers […]

Jayson Tatum was this close to etching his name in the history books. He had successfully helped the Boston Celtics make it back to the NBA Finals for the first time in 12 years. Facing the Golden State Warriors, Tatum could’ve gone down as the guy who took down the Dubs’ dynasty for good. Instead, […]

Did the Golden State Warriors just get a steal by drafting Patrick Baldwin Jr? The Warriors picked Patrick Baldwin Jr., a 6’9 big with much promise at 19 years old, with the No. 28 overall choice in the 2022 NBA Draft. In the past, pundits regarded Baldwin as the best high school recruit in the […]

The Oakland Athletics have become the poster child of frugal spending in the MLB. Many fans in the area have been disheartened by the ownership pinching pennies when it comes to the team. Owning the lowest payroll in the league, letting go of star players, asking the city to pay for a new stadium, they’ve […]

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is having the time of his life in the American Century Championship, and Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is joining in the fun. Curry played several roles during Day 2 of the competition, even becoming a punter as he kicked the hell out of a Memphis Grizzlies ball […]

There’s a rising rivalry in the Western Conference. The six-game slugfest between the Golden State Warriors and the Memphis Grizzlies last season seems like the start of a feud between the two teams. Both teams seemed extra motivated to crush their opponents during that game. In the end, Stephen Curry and the Dubs prevailed, but […]

The Orlando Magic have a good one in Paolo Banchero, whom they selected first overall in the 2022 NBA Draft. The jury is still out on Banchero, but Magic Nation must be liking everything they’ve been seeing from the former Duke Blue Devils star so far in the 2022 NBA Summer League. For Golden State […]

While the rest of the basketball world was busy enjoying the weekend’s Summer League action, Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry was out playing some golf. The reigning NBA Finals MVP took part in a celebrity golf tournament, but unsurprisingly, he wasn’t at all disconnected from the sport that he excels in the most. Naturally, […]

Donte DiVincenzo essentially had his pick of free agency destinations. What team in the league wouldn’t want a proven two-way guard with obvious room to grow on a contract worth less than the taxpayer mid-level exception? DiVincenzo chose to sign with the Golden State Warriors, though, filling a void on the roster left after Gary […]

Discussions with his former teammates notwithstanding, it’s still unclear if Kevin Durant would actually be interested in returning to the Golden State Warriors. There are other major obstacles the Dubs and Brooklyn Nets would have to clear in a potential trade built around the the two-time Finals MVP, too. Ignore those complications for now, though. Why? The […]

The Golden State Warriors’ offseason moves (or lack thereof) seems to be a challenge to their young guns. Key role players from their playoff run last season have now left the team for greener pastures. It seems like the front office has decided that Moses Moody, Jonathan Kuminga, and James Wiseman are ready for a […]

After more than a year on the sidelines, James Wiseman is finally making his return to action for the Golden State Warriors. The 7-foot big man himself confirmed that he intends to suit up on Sunday when the Dubs take on the San Antonio Spurs in NBA Summer League. Wiseman was understandably hyped when he […]

The Golden State Warriors lost a handful of key pieces via free agency, with the likes of Gary Payton II, Otto Porter Jr., and Nemanja Bjelica all heading to greener pastures. There’s no denying that these are some significant losses for the champs, but as they always say, whenever a door closes, another one opens. […]

The Golden State Warriors are fresh off a championship and will be looking to make another run at the title in 2023. However, they’ve already lost a few important pieces in free agency, most notably Gary Payton II and Otto Porter Jr. While it’s not a concern this summer, both Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole […]

Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is without a doubt one of the top players in the game today. As a matter of fact, more than a few folks consider him to be the greatest shooter of all time. In case you didn’t know, it’s not just basketball that the former back-to-back league MVP excels […]

Charles Barkley doesn’t exactly seemed concerned with pleasing Dub Nation. In fact, the loudmouth TNT analyst and NBA legend appears more willing than ever to intentionally pit himself against Golden State Warriors fans. At least he has respect and appreciation for the actual Warriors, right? During a break in play at the American Century Celebrity […]

Jonathan Kuminga followed up an eye-popping debut at Summer League last July with an extremely promising rookie season. But he was a bystander during the Golden State Warriors’ championship run, garnering mostly garbage-time minutes in the playoffs despite starting three games against the Memphis Grizzlies in the second round. Don’t take Kuminga’s barely-there postseason role […]

Stephen Curry is in South Lake Tahoe this weekend for the American Century Celebrity Golf Tournament. The charity exhibition features stars from all over the sports and entertainment world, including Curry’s Golden State Warriors teammate Andre Iguodala, brother Seth Curry and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. While not every celebrity playing in the tournament […]

The Golden State Warriors’ original Big 3 have reportedly already spoken with Kevin Durant in wake of his trade request from the Brooklyn Nets. Rumors indicate Stephen Curry, the newly-minted Finals MVP, would welcome his former teammate back to the Bay Area, too. Speaking with reporters from the American Century Championship golf tournament in South […]
