He is certainly one of […]

Basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar recently revealed his opinion on the modern NBA game, suggesting that the 3-point shot has hugely affected his favored center position, as per Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe: “Most young people don’t care about playing with their back to the basket in close, they want to shoot 3-pointers,” Abdul-Jabbar said. “It’s […]

One of the NBA’s best teams seems to be embracing their role of public enemy as the Golden State Warriors posed for a photo next to metallic balloons spelling “Super Villains” on Friday.

For most celebrities and public figures, endorsing a presidential candidate could be somewhat of a risky move for their image, which is why most NBA athletes, ownership and front office personnel are often careful before making their allegiance public.

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant one-upped his performance from Monday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans, as he tied Michael Jordan for the fourth-longest consecutive 20-plus-point game streak with 72.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are the best team in the NBA at the moment. They are able to beat any opponent that comes their way. Barring any injury, they should have a cake-walk to the NBA Finals. There is not a team in the league, especially in the Eastern Conference, who can compete with them night […]

The Golden State Warriors are currently in the valley of trying to find their new identity. Guard Klay Thompson proclaimed earlier this summer that he isn’t sacrificing anything due to Kevin Durant‘s presence on the team.

For one-and-a-half seasons, Dion Waiters thought the Oklahoma City Thunder would be the team he’d represent for years to come.

Everything changed when Kevin Durant decided to sign with the Golden […]

The Golden State Warriors are struggling to figure out how to win with their new team, but that shouldn’t be a surprise considering the history of free agency.

The Golden State Warriors visited the Los Angeles Lakers Friday night for an exciting head-to-head matchup.

It’s not a good […]

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is tired of getting technical fouls called on him.
