Kevin Durant did it all in Game 3 for the Golden State Warriors. He had a monster game scoring the rock, hit the shot that was the dagger with under a minute left to go in the game, and he also trash talked some sad Cleveland Cavaliers fan. With 6.3 seconds left in the game, and […]

The dynamic duo of Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant have had to endure stretches of one without the other between the last two seasons.

The Golden State Warriors have made themselves quite at home in Cleveland, especially the last few seasons. The last four NBA Finals have featured the Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers, so it could almost be like a second home to the Dubs. Many felt like Klay Thompson threw a bit of shade at the Cavaliers […]

Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors is one of the best shooters to ever play the game of basketball. This much as been proven throughout his already illustrious career. But something that constantly gets overlooked is how good of a defender he is, and what it takes not only be a focal point of […]
