As soon as Kevin Durant joined the Warriors on the 4th of July, fans and the media began referring to the Dubs as a super team.

Who could have predicted the doors that Draymond Green‘s Snapchat folly would have opened?

Once one of the premiere scorers off the bench, Ben Gordon has been irrelevant in the NBA world the last few years. Gordon was out of the league last year after averaging 6.1 a night for Orlando the year before and just 5.2 per game for Charlotte the year prior to that. He last made […]

The Warriors and veteran guard Elliot Williams have agreed to a one-year deal, league sources tell The […]

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson has been known to be one of the most calm and relaxed players in the league. Rarely does he show emotions on the court and just allows his game to speak for himself. Now that the organization he plays for has formed a “super team” with the addition […]

The unwanted attention doesn’t seem to be fading so far for Draymond Green. After virtually securing a spot in a hypothetical “Snapchat Celebrity Hall of Shame”, the Golden State Warriors forward is still getting it from his Olympic teammates. Photos of a few Team USA players subtly mocking Green went out earlier, but now, we […]

Undoubtedly, James Harden is one of the best players in the NBA today. He has transitioned to being the sixth man from his days with the Oklahoma City Thunder to becoming the undisputed number one option now with the Houston Rockets. He could have won the MVP award in 2015 if not for the rise […]

In the 2012-2013 season, Kevin Durant displayed one of the best shooting years in NBA history. His shooting numbers were as follows: 51% from the field, 41.6% from long distance, and 90.5% from the charity stripe; enough to make him a bona fide member of the “50-40-90” club. Last season, he shot the ball at […]

JaVale McGee is on a roll. After having been invited to training camp by the Golden State Warriors, the long and athletic big man also made some noise in his most recent game at The Drew League.

Over the past two years, Klay Thompson has participated in every series or competition that players of his caliber could play in. After going through a couple of regular seasons, with one being a 73-win stretch, and the same number of NBA finals appearances, he now finds himself part of Team USA. No matter how […]

Despite making the biggest noise this summer, the Golden State Warriors still appeared to have a glaring hole in the middle. The one area which LeBron James and Kyrie Irving abused in the recent NBA Finals was ignored by the defending Western Conference champions when the summer of signings began. In fact, it even worsened […]

It’s got to be at least somewhat awkward on Team USA this summer. Movement during free agency sent Harrison Barnes from the Warriors to the Mavericks and Kevin Durant from the Thunder to the Warriors. We avoided any potential Durant-Russell Westbrook reunion since Westbrook pulled out of the Olympics. But Barnes made the team and […]

The Golden State Warriors have had a great last couple of years, winning a championship, breaking the all-time NBA regular season wins record, and getting to two straight NBA Finals.

Kevin Durant was made out to be a liar yesterday. Or so we thought.

That is not […]

It has to be painful for Scott Brooks. Looking back at what he had coaching the Oklahoma City Thunder, and knowing that they came away with no championships can’t be easy. Brooks made an appearance on The Vertical Podcast with Chris Mannix yesterday and covered a variety of topics, one being his time in Oklahoma […]

Draymond Green doesn’t just like to talk on the court. He’s known to send a lot of texts as well.

Here’s what Green revealed in a recent video interview with DraftKings: “Once July 1st […]

Washington Wizards head coach Scott Brooks and Kevin Durant have had a strong relationship for years now.

Many suspected that Brooks’ […]

It was inevitable that Kevin Durant‘s major free agency decision to join the Golden State Warriors would create a domino effect within the organization. As well as Australian big man Andrew Bogut, another player who felt the effect was Harrison Barnes. Barnes had served the Warriors for four years, picking up a championship in the […]

Maybe this truly explains why Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook’s relationship will never be the same. The details continue to leak out in the days and weeks following Durant’s decision to leave the Oklahoma City Thunder and join the Golden State Warriors. A common thread is Westbrook’s anger at the decision. This may explain why […]

Kevin Durant had a little too much confidence in his teammates on Tuesday, when Team USA hosted China in an exhibition game at Oracle Arena.

Durant prematurely spread his arms to celebrate, […]

Olympic basketball is not all about dominating the best competition in the world and bringing home a medal. There is down time when players get a chance to spend time together and bond.

The Golden State Warriors‘ newest superstar Kevin Durant got his first chance to play in Oakland at Oracle Arena. He didn’t disappoint as he got off to a hot start, knocking down his first shot of the game about six seconds in, which he then followed up with eight straight points for Team USA. Kevin […]

It looks like being teammates for the U.S. Olympics team has developed Kevin Durant and Draymond Green’s relationship to a level where Green names himself Durant’s hype man.  According to the San Francisco Chronicle, “Green played hype man for Durant during a Nike event Monday night that drew a swarm of fans to Pier 48 […]

Harrison Barnes may’ve been prepared to depart from the Golden State Warriors this summer, but that doesn’t mean it was his intention all along.

The phrase “super team” has been thrown around a lot recently to describe the Golden State Warriors.

To say that Bay Area fans are excited for superstar Kevin Durant to join the Golden State Warriors would be an understatement.

In fact, Durant’s […]

Why would Steph Curry do such a thing? He must not want anyone else to take long range shots attempts but himself. During the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship, singer Justin Timberlake decided to take a long range jump shot. Even though it looked somewhat off, Golden State Warriors point guard and 2016 NBA MVP […]

The stubbornness of Charles Barkley will never allow him to acknowledge the greatness of the Golden State Warriors. In fact, it only makes him stoop lower.

It’s got to be great for Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, knowing that Kevin Durant will get to play with two of his other stars this summer in the Rio Olympics. It will surely be an advantage for Golden State with Durant getting the chance to develop chemistry alongside Klay Thompson and Draymond Green for a […]

One of the big questions surrounding the Warriors this season involves sacrifice. The addition of Kevin Durant will mean diminished roles for some players. One guy that is often brought up regarding this is Klay Thompson. Thompson has been the number two option behind Steph Curry for the past few seasons, and hr emerged as […]

Last season, Anderson Varejao signed off waivers with the Golden State Warriors after 11 years with the team that went on to beat them in the NBA finals, the Cleveland Cavaliers.
