The Golden State Warriors may be one of the most successful franchises in the NBA at the moment, both on the court and on a commercial level, but that was not always the case. There’s a huge reason why it took the Warriors 40 years to win another championship, as between 1975 to 2015, it […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are coming off of arguably their most promising season since the ‘Bubble’ championship of 2020.

On Tuesday, a […]

Last month, the NBA officially approved a new rule that states any player who flops in the 2023-24 season will receive a technical foul. And by no surprise, there are already odds out at BetOnline who could be handed the first tech for faking a foul: Marcus Smart. The Memphis Grizzlies guard, who was traded […]

It’s safe to say that Draymond Green and Jordan Poole didn’t have the best relationship during their time together on the Golden State Warriors. Poole was ultimately traded following a frustrating 2022-23 season with Golden State after getting punched by Green prior to the start of the campaign. NBA 2K24 poked some fun at the […]

If there’s anybody that understands the position that Chris Paul may soon face himself in, its former Golden State Warriors point guard and three-time NBA champion Shaun Livingston. The No. 4 pick in the 2004 NBA Draft, Livingston’s promising career was curtailed by a major knee that he suffered in just his third season. With […]

Maybe the Golden State Warriors’ just weren’t good enough to repeat as champions last season, but talent definitely wasn’t their biggest problem. As young players pushed for bigger roles owed to their draft slot and Draymond Green’s preseason punch to Jordan Poole further fractured the locker room, the Warriors never came close to managing the […]

There’s no doubt that the Golden State Warriors will one day retire the jerseys of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. Should Kevon Looney’s jersey be hanging in the rafters one day alongside those three Warriors stars? Draymond Green seems to think so. A Twitter user suggested that Looney should easily have his jersey […]

The Golden State Warriors have been known for utilizing the Santa Cruz Warriors, their G League affiliates, as the perfect developmental system through the years.

For the last decade, the Golden State Warriors have been the epitome of dominance in the NBA. They’ve won four of the last nine championships, including back-to-back titles in 2017 and 2018, and they were coming off of a title entering this past 2022-23 season. However, things did not go as planned this past year […]

The Golden State Warriors’ title defense last season was basically doomed before it tipped off. Draymond Green’s punch to Jordan Poole was just the most combustible among a host of looming internal issues, all at least somewhat related to the “disease of more” so many teams face after raising the Larry O’Brien Trophy. Poole is […]

Draymond Green and Jordan Poole have been the center of attention on the Golden State Warriors roster. The two have had a lot of tension and unspoken beef with one another.

One could argue that with Kevin Durant in the mix, the Golden State Warriors had one of the most formidable lineups in the history of the NBA. They had two championships to show for it, too. As they always say, however, all good things must come to an end. In terms of Durant’s marriage with […]

Stephen Curry is the driving force behind the Golden State Warriors’ dynasty. Anyone with even a passing understanding of the team’s historic success over the last decade, though, knows full well that Curry and the Warriors may not have won a single championship, let alone four, without the singular impact provided by Draymond Green. As […]

Throughout his career with the Golden State Warriors, Draymond Green has had (at least) two high-profile squabbles against his own teammates.

Draymond Green’s intensity goes with him wherever he goes, on and off the court. This time, the Golden State Warriors star’s fire got the best of him after thinking Kevin Garnett called him out.
