Without a doubt, Golden State Warriors sharpshooter Klay Thompson is one of the greatest outside snipers in basketball history.

Klay Thompson entered the Rockets game […]

The veteran sharpshooter entered the […]

The Golden State Warriors couldn’t quite finish the job against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night, falling 108-104 in a highly anticipated season-opener. Veteran teams like the Dubs don’t need to harp too much on hard-fought losses, especially when an indispensable impact player like Draymond Green is watching from the bench. There was plenty to […]

Thompson is still without a contract extension following the start of the 2023-24 season. The Warriors star, who will be a free agent following the 2023-24 campaign, addressed […]

There are a lot of sports agents out there, but not many have the public persona that Rich Paul does. Paul, who is well-known for his high-profile friendship with LeBron James, has built up quite a list of strong connections in the NBA. Still, that doesn’t mean that every word that comes out of his […]

Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors came up just short in their Opening Night contest against the Phoenix Suns. However, while it may have come in a loss, head coach Steve Kerr couldn’t have been more impressed with how Thompson guarded Kevin Durant. Golden State lost 108-104. Still, Thompson held Durant to just 18 […]

Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors’ dynasty is still alive. The dynasty has continued for around a decade now, and Curry continues to lead the team. Golden State has question marks heading into the new campaign though. Today, however, we will be focusing on Curry’s 2023-24 campaign. The Warriors superstar and future Hall-of-Famer is […]

The Golden State Warriors and Klay Thompson remain far apart in extension talks as tipoff of the 2023-24 season looms on the horizon.

Next to Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, Thompson has helped mold this franchise into what it is today. Not to mention, he and Curry helped change the way three three-point shot is […]

Klay Thompson has been one-third of the storied Golden State Warriors dynasty. There would be no Splash Brothers without the elite shooting guard who needs minimal dribbles to get his shots off. But, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green could be on the verge of parting ways with their teammate who has a miracle jump shot. […]

The Golden State Warriors and Klay Thompson may not have much time left in their partnership.

Recently, NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski […]

Klay Thompson is currently entering the final season of a five-year contract with the Golden State Warriors.

Recently, NBA insider Chris Mannix […]

Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green have spent their entire careers with the Golden State Warriors. Through all the ups and downs they have faced over the years, these three have stuck together and created this generation’s dominant dynasty. Winning four titles since 2015 is no easy feat, yet this is exactly what Golden […]

The shooting guard position is one of the most important spots in the NBA. Having players who can get a bucket whenever they want on offense, while also having the ability to defend a handful of different guys on the other end of the floor, is critical to winning nowadays. Unsurprisingly, the best players at […]

The Golden State Warriors’ coach Steve Kerr dropped a truth bomb recently on what caused the team’s second round exit last season.

The Golden State Warriors will have four players directly affected by the NBA’s new policy against load management, with Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, and Chris Paul qualifying for the “star” distinction the NBA has put up due to their recent accolades.

The Golden State Warriors’ number one concern heading into training camp is their lineups.

Fresh off of a 44-38 season but a disappointing second-round exit in the playoffs to the Los Angeles Lakers, the Golden State Warriors enter this new season with lofty expectations regarding their projected win total.  With the exit of legendary General Manager Bob Myers, many people did not know what to expect from Golden State […]

Klay Thompson has not gotten back into NBA All-Star form after his injury. But, the Golden State Warriors know that he can recuperate and produce for the team despite this. Steve Kerr’s sets and schematics still revolve around his and Stephen Curry’s favor. But, all of that may go to waste if he does not […]

Four championships in an eight-year span. Not many professional sports organizations can say they have accomplished this. The Golden State Warriors joined elite company and formed this generation’s NBA dynasty in 2022 when they once again won the Larry O’Brien championship trophy. A feat that nobody thought was possible after missing the playoffs in back-to-backs […]

The lone team that stands to be more affected by the NBA’s updated rest rules than the Golden State Warriors? Not the perpetually injured LA Clippers, creaky Los Angeles Lakers or reigning champion Denver Nuggets. The veteran Milwaukee Bucks and star-studded Boston Celtics don’t apply, either, nor do the rising young Cleveland Cavaliers. Only the […]

Klay Thompson’s future with the Golden State Warriors has been a huge question mark throughout the whole offseason.

While there’s little doubt that Thompson will actually leave, the lack […]

Change was inevitable for the Golden State Warriors this offseason. Their run to the NBA Finals in 2022 and winning their fourth championship since 2015 seems like an eternity ago as we prepare for the 2023-24 season, especially with how this past year unfolded. Losing in the Western Conference Finals to the Los Angeles Lakers, […]

When the Golden State Warriors fell in the Western Conference Semifinals to the Los Angeles Lakers just a handful of months ago, this marked the first time Golden State lost in the playoffs to a Western Conference team since 2014. Just let that sink in because for close to a decade, this core consisting of […]

Who is the best player in the NBA? This is a question basketball fans debate every single year, and it’s one that often has no right answer.

The Golden State Warriors will be led by Splash Brothers Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry again in 2023-2024. Steve Kerr’s Warriors are one of the top shooting teams in the NBA and show little sign of slowing, even with Jordan Poole now in Washington. Curry and his wife Ayesha have been busy this offseason pledging […]

NBA players tend to get contracts after huge performances in their careers. This can even span longer for core players in dynasties like the Golden State Warriors. But, this may raise some eyebrows from fans as they subjectively infer that some are not worth the cash. Klay Thompson recently got this undesirable nod from a […]

From 1975 to the early 2010s, misery kept piling on and on for the Golden State Warriors franchise. They traded away future Hall of Famers for scraps, gave a high-potential rookie a shocking contract that allowed him to enter free agency after just one season, and failed to capitalize on whatever momentum they had been […]

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson’s talents extend beyond the basketball court.

The Golden State Warriors have been known for paying an extreme amount of luxury taxes in the league over the last several seasons.
