Steve Kerr has an embarrassment of riches as head coach of the Golden State Warriors.

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant will become a free agent this summer once he declines his player option for the 2019-20 season, and he is reportedly interested in joining the New York Knicks.

Houston Rockets combo guard Austin Rivers says Golden State Warriors star point guard Stephen Curry has “changed the way basketball is played.” Rivers says because Curry is arguably the greatest shooter of all-time, kids nowadays want to shoot 3-pointers instead of dunking like Michael Jordan or LeBron James.

After a 76-65 first-round win for the Michigan State Spartans over the branded Bradley Braves, head coach Tom Izzo was in the headlines after the first day of March Madness after screaming and pointing at freshman Aaron Henry after a blown play.

To this day Oracle Arena is home to a relic, not in the form of a trophy, medal or a championship banner; but rather a hole. A hole that’s been there since Dirk Nowitzki made history for the wrong reasons, as his top-seeded Dallas Mavericks took on the eighth-seeded Golden State Warriors in 2007, causing […]

Murray State sophomore point guard Ja Morant put on a show in his first nationally acclaimed opportunity in the NCAA Tournament, dropping only the eighth triple-double in the tournament’s history as the 12th-seeded Racers blazed past No. 5 seed Marquette 83-64 in the first round of competition.

The Golden State Warriors remain one of the most talented outfits in NBA history. They’re also two-time defending champions.

The […]

Golden State Warriors superstar Kevin Durant hasn’t exactly been the most popular player with the media or fans in recent years.

He does seem like […]
