The Golden State Warriors ended last season with the highest scoring average in the NBA.

On Wednesday night, the Warriors proved once again that they can score in bunches in […]

Golden State Warriors players probably didn’t love it when Kevin Durant admitted he was glad they lost in the NBA Finals.

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson finally got his chance to give a response to Milwaukee Bucks guard Jason Terry‘s ranking of him among second tier players. Terry was interviewed on SiriusXM NBA Radio, where he said that James Harden was the best shooting guard in the league, not Thompson.

Klay Thompson sure packs a lot of fight on the basketball court. No lead is safe against his Golden State Warriors team, especially when their top shooting guard gets hot.

The Golden State Warriors addition of former MVP Kevin Durant won’t necessarily change the team’s outlook on offense, according to their star Stephen Curry. “It won’t change at all,” Curry told ESPN’s Darren Rovell. “That’s the reason KD joined – knowing we weren’t going to sacrifice anything, that we all have to be ourselves to […]

He’s a back-to-back MVP winner and now a scoring champion, yet he’s just making $11.2 million in his last year of a four-year, $44 million extension of his rookie contract. Not only that, but he’s the fourth-highest paid player in his […]

It’s really sad, but America doesn’t really care about Olympic basketball unless the thought of losing comes into play.

After skimming past the last […]

One of the best things to happen for Team USA is the accomodations.
