DeMarcus Cousins is a guy who has been painted as selfish, childish, moody and mercurial throughout his nine-year NBA career. That’s why some eyebrows were raised when Cousins signed a one-year, $5.3 million contract with the Golden State Warriors over the summer. Sure, the good majority of NBA fans bemoaned the signing, spitting out all […]

If Thompson makes an All-NBA team […]

When the 73 win Golden State Warriors acquired Kevin Durant, it gave them an advantage over every other team in the NBA: Two MVP caliber players on one roster surrounded by All-NBA talent.

Golden State Warriors sharpshooter Klay Thompson rained threes on Tuesday night at the Pepsi Center, just like the rest of his All-Star teammates, but what caught the eyes of the bench and the viewers at home was a career-high four-dunk performance he put up before exiting early in the fourth quarter of a blowout 142-111 […]

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson will become an unrestricted free agent this summer, but the sharpshooter likely isn’t going anywhere.

Brook Lopez has completely changed his game to where he is now a lethal stretch big in the NBA. It’s been an amazing turnaround for a guy who didn’t make a single 3-pointer […]

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson is not a high flier. He can shoot with the best of them, but when it comes to dunking the basketball, he is not exactly Jason Richardson.

Klay Thompson was Klay Thompson on Saturday night, displaying the deadly shooting form he is known for.

What do Jordan Clarkson, Reggie Jackson, and Ricky Rubio all have in common?

In what has turned into an extremely up-and-down season for the Warriors […]

The Golden State Warriors have had documented shooting struggles this season. Both Draymond Green and Klay Thompson are having the worst season of their careers.
