Kevin  Durant has already won almost all individual awards the NBA has to offer.

With former Oklahoma City Thunder assistant coach Ron Adams, now part of the Golden State Warriors as […]

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry missed his second straight practice on Sunday with a sore throat. Curry has been sick for the past week.

The NBA announced the addition of small advertising patches on jerseys beginning in the 2017-18 season just five months ago. So far, the Philadelphia 76ers is the only team that has managed to strike a deal for ads. Corporations are certainly excited to put their stamp on NBA uniforms, but the reason they aren’t is complicated. This decision […]

A new NBA season will tip off less than three weeks from now on Tuesday, Oct. 25, and with it come the hopes and aspirations of every team in the league.

When growing up, we often have preconceived notions of people by what we see, hear, and in some way expect them to be. But as we grow through life, we realize that every rule has an exception. For Ayesha Curry, that exception was Stephen Curry. Before she met her husband, Ayesha was acting and modeling […]

Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins couldn’t believe his eyes after Thursday night’s 105-96 preseason loss to the Golden State Warriors.

Dwight Howard has tuned out of the hype wagon driven by Golden State Warriors‘ new star Kevin Durant.

They may have been playing together for a short period of time at this point, but Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki has already given high praises to his new teammate and former Golden State Warriors center Andrew Bogut. After seeing the amount of open shots Stephen Curry got over the past seasons, one has to wonder […]

The impending task of replacing the rebounding core has been a major one for the Golden State Warriors. Good shot-blockers like Bismack Biyombo and Al Jefferson were able to net substantial deals this offseason — and money was the one thing the team couldn’t afford to shell out after the $54 million signing of Kevin Durant. Zaza Pachulia […]

The NBA is looking more and more engaged with social protests about police violence, even during preseason games – several teams and players have found ways to voice their opinions on the matter. But no one has addressed the matter more bluntly than Andre Iguodala did on Tuesday. The Golden State Warriors sixth man offered a brilliant analogy between professional […]

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry set the record for most three pointers made in a season for any player, making Steve Kerr one proud coach. Not only did he set the record but he broke the previous record by almost double. That was partially the reason why the Warriors managed to win 73 games last […]

After the San Antonio Spurs failed to win it all last season, veteran forward David West moved on and signed with the title-favorites this year, the Golden State Warriors. He may have joined his second team in two seasons on another veteran’s minimum deal, but the 36-year-old insists not to be called a ring chaser. It […]

Former two-time league MVP Steve Nash feels the Golden State Warriors, the team he works for as an advisor, has the potential to produce the greatest offense in NBA history. The eight-time NBA All-Star knows what it’s like to be in a groundbreaking, high-octane offense; he was part of the run-and-gun Phoenix Suns for several years […]

Kevin Durant had his best all-around performance on a Golden State uniform on Tuesday night, when the Warriors handed the L.A. Clippers a 120-75 mauling.

No matter how it’s spun, the L.A. Clippers had a really disappointing showing Tuesday night when they were routed 120-75 on the Golden State Warriors‘ home floor. Clippers head coach Doc Rivers didn’t miss the chance to throw sticks into the fire by downplaying the importance of the game and making the Warriors seem like they were […]

Kevin Durant just landed on a dream of a team. To most, all he would need to do is fit into the system and produce at the caliber he’s produced his whole career, but according to the 2014 MVP, he feels he can do more than just that. His goal is to average a double-double to […]

JaVale McGee is no stranger to making headlines. Whether it’s Shaqtin-A-Fool of the Not Top 10 plays of the week, McGee is often in the middle of them. So it didn’t come as a surprise when the 7-footer took to Facebook to explain the hairdo he put out during the Warriors opening preseason game as simply, “something new.” […]

Golden State Warriors fans were treated to their preseason home opener not only with the addition of a new star in Kevin Durant, but a familiar sighting of Stephen Curry‘s signature tunnel shot.

Stephen Curry shows no mercy. Preseason or not, he’s putting guys on skates — just ask the L.A. Clippers‘ Brandon Bass, who received the Allen Iverson special with this double crossover that ended in a teardrop. .@StephenCurry30 showing off that handle! 🔥 pic.twitter.com/0krnufitWy — Golden State Warriors (@warriors) October 5, 2016 Curry had already gotten past Bass […]

Stephen Curry is back at it again, and his fellow NBA players can’t believe how easily he can shoot the lights out from anywhere.

Kevin Durant has already been in the NBA for 9 seasons and has seen many teammates come and go. Two of his longest-tenured teammates that come to mind are Russell Westbrook, who was his teammate for eight years, and Nick Collison, who was KD’s teammate his entire career until this season. But when asked recently […]

Colin Kaepernick has been at the forefront of all the of the protest talk, but he’s not the first professional athlete to silently protest.

The Golden State Warriors will honor one of their all-time greats, Nate Thurmond, with a yellow patch with his number “42” in the left band of their jerseys throughout the 2016-17 season.

The addition of former MVP Kevin Durant has made an already large target in the Golden State Warriors‘ back an even larger one.

Kendrick Perkins recently made an appearance on The Vertical Podcast with Adrian Wojnarowski to talk basketball and give his thoughts on Kevin Durant’s decision to join the Golden State Warriors. Perkins of course was a former teammate of Durant and Russell Westbrook after spending a number of years with them in Oklahoma City. He was a big voice in […]

NBA players have long lobbied for a shortened season to no avail. Grinding out 82 games each season take a toll on their bodies. One idea that has also surfaced to help fight this issue is a shortened preseason. Last year, commissioner Adam Silver pointed out that there is a good chance cutting the preseason […]

Oklahoma City Thunder fans and others around the league always wondered “what if Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook worked to their full potential as a duo?” On paper, the two were arguably the most dominant one-two punch the NBA has seen since Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal in the early 2000s. Their skill sets were […]

Imagine if Kevin Durant took Kendrick Perkins’ advice. Perkins recently made an appearance on The Vertical Podcast with Adrian Wojnarowski and provided some interesting insight on Durant’s decision to leave the Thunder and join the Warriors. Perkins talked to Durant before he made his decision and actually suggested Durant go somewhere else if he was […]

The Golden State Warriors had to sacrifice a lot to put themselves in position to acquire Kevin Durant. It meant Andrew Bogut and Harrison Barnes had to go, as well as key role players off the bench like Festus Ezeli, Leandro Barbosa, Marreese Speights, Brandon Rush and Jason Thompson. There’s no denying the starters for […]

Sacrifices are going to have to be made with Kevin Durant arriving in Oakland. But Warriors players don’t want those sacrifices to be Durant shooting the ball less. The four-time scoring champion is already hearing it from his teammates when he’s playing too unselfishly during practices. Simply put, his teammates want him to be who […]

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has become one of the most polarizing players in the NBA. After a year of questionable situations he went from liked to one of the most detested players. He is one of the guys you’ll love if they are on your team, and hate if they aren’t. Anticipating more angst […]

Stephen Curry could have easily walked away with two awards last season, his second consecutive Most Valuable Player award and the Most Improved Player award. His scoring average leapfrogged from 23.8 to 30.1 points per game — an improvement for the record books as no back-to-back MVP has ever improved their prowess by such margin. Not […]

New Orleans Pelicans star Anthony Davis grew an inch taller this summer, but he said wasn’t happy about it. They measured us like a week and a half ago and they said I was 6-11, which I don’t want to be. I think 6-10’s like the perfect height for me. It just doesn’t sound right. […]

It’s only the third day of the Golden State Warriors training camp and there’s already scary signs coming from the practice facility.
