Charles Barkley has a better job than the average American — to talk and debate sports and often give his controversial takes during the length of the NBA season. However, as a long and sometimes gruelling 82-game season is only a day away from tipping off again, Barkley notes how it’s become harder to make […]

Steve Nash has played an even bigger part in the Golden State Warriors that most people would give him credit for. Despite having the role of team consultant, Nash frequents the facility not in a suit and tie, but in shorts and sneakers — talking to players like one of the guys and happy to […]

The Golden State Warriors are only hours away from receiving their championship rings. For some, it will be their second, for some others their first — but the organization has wanted one particular member to have this ring, a ring that has escaped him despite an illustrious career. Team president Bob Myers and the relentless […]

The Golden State Warriors have agreed to a two-way contract with point guard Quinn Cook, according to a report by Shams Charania of The Vertical. The Warriors’ roster, which already has 15 guaranteed contracts, will be filled at 17, joining Oregon’s Chris Boucher as the other two-way player. With this two-way provision, he will be […]

Stephen Curry is already in rarefied air in NBA history. The Golden State Warriors guard has the rare distinction of being a back-to-back NBA MVP, with his second award in 2016 making him the league’s first-ever unanimous MVP winner. A third trophy would put him in an even more select group that involves some of […]

This offseason, the Golden State Warriors were successful in keeping their core intact, as well as adding a few key pieces to their already formidable lineup. While Nick Young and Omri Casspi are the biggest names who agreed to join them, rookie Jordan Bell may have brought in the biggest intrigue. The Warriors’ coaching staff […]

The defending champion Golden State Warriors could be a bit shorthanded during their season opener against the Houston Rockets on Tuesday, Oct. 17. Omri Casspi is probable to play despite dealing with an ankle injury, while Andre Iguodala is questionable with a back strain, ESPN’s Chris B. Haynes reports. Golden State forward Omri Casspi (ankle) […]

Despite a key upgrade, adding All-Star point guard Chris Paul into their new-look roster, Draymond Green isn’t convinced general manager Daryl Morey and his Houston Rockets have what it takes to beat his Golden State Warriors. A frantic Morey noted no team had what it took to stop this Western Conference buzzsaw from making its […]

Stephen Curry is hoping to once again challenge the limits of his own skill coming into this season, despite having had back-to-back MVP seasons and two championships to his name in the last three seasons. Coming off his first championship, Curry manage to dazzle even more by winning the first unanimous MVP in NBA history, […]

The Golden State Warriors are heading into the 2017-18 campaign coming off a dominating run through the playoffs that saw them earn another NBA title that nearly went unblemished. All of this has made it hard for former NBA head coach Jeff Van Gundy to see the Warriors get dethroned in the playoffs anytime soon […]

Coming into his fourth year as the man at the helm of the Golden State Warriors, head coach Steve Kerr hasn’t been concerned about a contract extension of the five-year deal he signed back in 2014, according to NBC Sports Bay Area’s Monte Poole. The 52-year-old is rather focused on his long-term health after notably […]

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant is one of the most talented basketball players in the world today, but it’s not like he needs to be reminded of that. Everyone knows that Durant is capable of torching anyone on the basketball court, including LeBron James, whom he dominated in the 2017 NBA Finals by averaging […]

For NBA players, their ultimate goal is to play at a high level for many years, and win a title along the way. Some even make a lot of sacrifices to give themselves a bigger chance of earning a championship ring, which is of the utmost value to them. With what it takes to win […]

Jerry West parted ways with the Golden State Warriors this summer to become a team consultant for the L.A. Clippers to help the team make moves prudent enough to improve the franchise in the long term. West is forever tied to Los Angeles where there is a statute of him posted outside of Staples Center, […]

Omri Casspi joined the Golden State Warriors with relatively little fanfare this offseason as he arrived on a veteran’s minimum contract. Meanwhile, Nick Young — a significantly bigger name and more popular player — was signed with the Warriors’ full mid-level exception of $5.2 million. One would’ve expected Young to have the clear upper hand […]

As head coach of the defending champion Golden State Warriors, Steve Kerr has a bit more confidence in his team than most other coaches in the league. But he just doesn’t believe in his All-Star quartet of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant and Draymond Green. Kerr told Mark Medina of the Mercury News that […]

Klay Thompson’s fun offseason just got even more interesting. Nope, this isn’t about Thompson going back to China and reliving #ChinaKlay nor is this about him agreeing to endorse a toaster brand. With just a few days before the NBA regular season kicks in, Thompson found himself enmeshed in a sporting challenge against a sports […]

The Golden State Warriors have waived Georges Niang and Michael Gbinije, the team announced in a press release. Waiving Niang and Gbinije trims the Warriors’s roster down to 15 players now just a few days before the start of next season. In four preseason games, Niang averaged 4.0 points in 9.8 minutes per game. Gbinije […]

The king of social media stays the king. Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid was on top of his game last night, not only on the court in a preseason matchup with the Miami Heat, but after when he took to Twitter to call out Hassan Whiteside during a heated yet playful exchange. Embiid called over […]

Kevin Durant is widely regarded as one of the best players in the world today. Part of his success are his basketball skills, self-discipline, and constant drive to become better. However, his quest to be the best version of him as a player won’t be possible without his confidence as well. The Golden State Warriors […]

Through his first four seasons, Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has continued to ascend into becoming most promising star in the NBA. Along the way, he has already garnered high praise from many of his colleagues across the league. One of which is Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant, who recently stated during a Q&A […]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr didn’t shy away from generational comparisons, grabbing one of his closest assets in Steve Nash and comparing him to his current point guard, Stephen Curry, as the team nears the end of training camp. Kerr explained his reasoning for the comparison, noting the evolution of the point guard […]

The Golden State Warriors will enter their final tune-up prior to the start of the season against the Sacramento Kings without three of their main five horses, as Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, and Andre Iguodala will miss the game, according to Mark Medina of the San Jose Mercury News. Durant will sit due to a […]

The Golden State Warriors will make definitive changes on their roster, intending to trim the roster to the final 15 after tonight’s last tune-up against the Sacramento Kings, according to Connor LeTourneau of The San Francisco Chronicle. Expect to see plenty of different faces get a chance against the Kings, as the starters have likely […]

Coming off the best individual postseason of his career, Stephen Curry will enter his ninth season with little left to accomplish after netting two championships, two Most Valuable Player awards, multiple All-Star stints, and a cornucopia of records bearing his name. Yet, the Golden State Warriors guard will head into this season trying to repeat […]

Following his second championship in three years, Draymond Green hasn’t reverted to taking the humble route. If you thought the reigning Defensive Player of the Year was a little more subtle than his trash-talking self on the court — you are dead wrong. Only days after the elation of winning a championship on home ground, […]

During the 2016 NBA playoffs, Golden State Warriors All-Star forward Draymond Green had become the center of attention surrounding his unorthodox movement of his legs. It had painted a picture of him being a dirty player on the court that had issues with his self-control that many believed were becoming a distraction. According to a recent […]

In wake of the Golden State Warriors’ dominant run through the playoffs, there was a flurry of moves across the NBA in the offseason direct correlation to that with teams trying to field more competitive rosters. However, Warriors All-Star forward Draymond Green recently told Clay Skipper of GQ Magazine that he believes that none of […]

It was nothing short of a dominating run through the playoffs this year for the Golden State Warriors on the way to a nearly unblemished league record with a 16-1 mark onto a second NBA title in the last three years. However, the one loss in the NBA Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers is something […]

Despite a brilliant offseason that saw the Golden State Warriors re-sign their two most key players in Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant and two essential pieces off the bench in Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston, the team wasn’t able to keep the same roster as last season, re-signing only seven of their nine impending free […]

The Golden State Warriors had a rockstar’s welcome upon arriving in Shenzhen, China, slated to play the Minnesota Timberwolves in two games last week as part of an international exhibition and as part of their preseason schedule. As the team got off the bus, the players heard their last names being called by a sea […]

Indiana Pacers Hall of Famer Reggie Miller started the preseason with high praise for the reigning champion Golden State Warriors, lauding the coalition of talent in the roster — one they’ve managed to keep together during a very busy offseason, including adding a couple additional pieces to round out a roster that was already built […]

The NBA offseason was riddled with shocking trades, impressive acquisitions, and yeah… sneaker wars. From free agents looking for a new brand to sport during the season, to Golden State Warriors forward and newly-crowned champion Kevin Durant giving Under Armour a bad name, by saying kids at the college level don’t want to wear their […]

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry has seen an immense rise in popularity in the last few years, even before the start of his first MVP season in 2014-15 or his first NBA title, or his decision to join Under Armour after wearing Nike for the first few years of his career. Curry has […]

The Golden State Warriors reloaded this offseason by signing seven of their impending free agents, including two key starters and two essential players off the bench. If that wasn’t enough, the reigning champions scored great fits on sharpshooter Nick Young, and all-around forward Omri Casspi, giving the team maximum flexibility to play them at various […]

The NBA has made changes to the All-Star Game in hopes of promoting better competition among the players and a more interested fan base after years of it being nothing else than an offensive exhibition, with every year garnering scoring records one after the other. Under the new rules, two team captains will be selected […]

The Golden State Warriors have revolutionized not only the offensive firepower that can be had in this league, but also the efficiency in which it can happen under. While the Dubs were a team with plenty of potential under Mark Jackson, the Steve Kerr era brought a completely different dimension, tapping into the potential of […]

Andre Iguodala has been one of the pillars in Golden State’s temple of success since coming to the Warriors in 2013. His value as a Swiss army knife has only increased every season, providing the second unit with whatever is needed — scoring, playmaking, rebounding, or a hound-like defensive intensity that few others can match. […]

Despite a much-upgraded roster over this offseason, the Golden State Warriors are not afraid of the Oklahoma City Thunder and MVP Russell Westbrook just yet, having proven to be his absolute kryptonite over the last few seasons. According to ESPN’s Zach Lowe, the Warriors “don’t fear” Westbrook because his “style of play is so easy […]
