“I’m not sacrificing s***, because my game isn’t changing.” Those were the words of Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson back in August when media asked him about the sacrifices he’d have to make with Kevin Durant joining the lineup. Those words have lingered in media circles for the better of two months and […]

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson spent some time home in Los Angeles and took a visit to Dodger Stadium on Friday. He had come to visit his brother Trayce Thompson who plays the outfielder position for the Dodgers. Thompson gave a short interview with ESPN’s Pedro Gomez when his dog Rocco decided to get into the picture. […]

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jason Terry is not aboard the Klay Thompson hype train. Thompson believes he’s the best shooting guard in the league, but Terry isn’t buying it. He made an appearance on SiriusXM Radio Wednesday to talk about the NBA, and didn’t hold back with his thoughts about the notion that Thompson is a […]

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. But when flash meets splash, it turns out that Thompson also has some boxing skills in himself. In an interview with TMZ Sports, WBO Junior […]

You know it’s the offseason when your favorite NBA players are getting morphed into children’s cartoon characters.

The 2016 NBA finals was one of the best in history. Not only did we see the biggest comeback of all-time, but also an epic matchup between the faces of the NBA in LeBron James and Stephen Curry. From Games 1 till 6, the winning team was always on fire. There were no ugly victories […]

The Golden State Warriors are considered by many as the biggest winner in this year’s free agency. They were successful in snagging the top prize this summer by adding former MVP Kevin Durant to their formidable lineup. Already parading three of the top players in the NBA today in their starting lineup in Stephen Curry, […]

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 […]

It’s no secret that Stephen Curry is probably the biggest bargain in the NBA. 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 […]

The Golden State Warriors are already lining up their promotions for the upcoming preseason games. Amongst them, it’s an odd-looking Klay Thompson bobblehead that has him in a San Jose Sharks jersey with a hockey stick and a basketball instead of a puck. Take a look for yourself: 2nd Preseason Home Game: Oct. 6 vs. […]

On the heels of the Dallas Mavericks signing former Sacramento guard Seth Curry, brother of Golden State Warriors‘ MVP Stephen Curry, the Kings are looking to explore more family ties.

NBA 2K17 is just around the corner, and fans are getting together to try and find ratings for superstars all over Twitter and Instagram.

With the monumental signing of Kevin Durant, the Golden State Warriors were forced to break up a team that remained nearly intact from their 2014-2015 championship season. Key departures included starters Harrison Barnes and Andrew Bogut, who both signed with the Dallas Mavericks. Another huge loss was power forward Marreese Speights, who signed with the L.A. Clippers […]

The self-proclaimed NBA impersonator Brandon Armstrong is back with another impeccable rendering of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors. Co-star @FamousLos32 nail down every detail, from Curry’s subtle up-fake to his giant-killer finger rolls – partial mouthpiece hanging from the mouth included. Armstrong doesn’t fall short himself, mimicking Thompson’s form and hoppy-tippy-toe […]

Team USA‘s performance at the Rio Olympics received plenty of mixed reviews. Regardless, the team, led by four-time Olympian Carmelo Anthony, got the job done once again. The United States left Brazil with an undefeated 8-0 record and a 96-66 win over Serbia to earn a third consecutive Olympic gold medal. So how well did […]

Something Klay Thompson needs to get used to is already getting on his nerves. And we’re still over two months away from the start of next season. There will inevitably be more media attention on the Golden State Warriors than ever this upcoming season after the 73-win team acquired Kevin Durant this summer. That means a […]

Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson form the undisputed best backcourt in the NBA. Their skillset perfectly blend and the familiarity with each other’s tendencies are on point that it becomes second nature. After conquering the hardwood, is there anything else for them left to try? A lot. But let’s begin with the closest sport to […]

It’s pretty simple, according to Klay Thompson. The starting shooting guard for Team USA basketball was pretty blunt when asked about the team and it’s recent struggles. Via NBA.com: “We control our own destiny,” Thompson said. “We just got to trust each other on both sides of the ball. If we do that and play […]

It’s really sad, but America doesn’t really care about Olympic basketball unless the thought of losing comes into play. Ominous vibes sent up north from U.S. Men’s National Basketball down in Rio 2016 after the team secured the group’s top seed with a three-point victory over the Tony Parker-less French. After skimming past the last […]

One of the best things to happen for Team USA is the accomodations. That is because some of the apartments in the Olympic village weren’t up to safety standards, so the majority of US athletes are staying aboard the Silver Cloud cruise ship docked in Rio. After Coach K  ranted on a reporter who questioned […]

Some of the best American shooters in the NBA had a tough time putting up points for Team USA Wednesday against Australia, and coincidentally, they all play for the same team: the Golden State Warriors. Kevin Durant got the start against the Aussies, scoreing 14 points on 4-of-16 shooting while grabbing 5 rebounds and blocking […]

During his NBA career, Andrew Bogut has developed a reputation for his physicality. At times, his opponents have taken exception to it. Even though Bogut’s adversaries are the ones making these observations, his teammates are well aware of it as well. They practice against the Australian center all year long, and they get a front […]

Fans of the NBA back in the day, when players seemingly hated their rivals more, might not be too thrilled with recent developments surrounding Team USA.

The Olympic Games in Rio is now in full swing and athletes from all over the world have been showcasing their talents in the world stage.

Team USA played their second pool play game of the Rio Olympics on Monday, defeating Venezuela 139-69. Despite the lopsided final score, the American squad looked sloppy early, with Venezuela having a lead early in the second quarter after the first period ended in an 18-18 tie. Shooting woes were part of the problem in […]

As Team USA awaits their next opponent in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, Brazil, the NBA stars have to find a way to pass the time. With the NFL season gearing up to start in a month, All-Star players Jimmy Butler and Klay Thompson decided to show off their many talents on the football […]

Andrew Bogut has been recently dealing with unfortunate circumstances prior to the Olympic Games. Here’s just a sample of how salty the Australian felt about his rooming situation. https://twitter.com/andrewbogut/status/760312402294501377 It seems Klay Thompson is not shy to poke fun at his ex-teammate about this situation. “I haven’t talked to him about it (the accommodation) yet but Andrew’s been […]

The Golden State Warriors weren’t America’s favorite team in the NBA Finals, especially with the antics of Draymond Green, and it’s not about to change now. Kevin Durant joining the team in this summer’s free agency has all but guaranteed that the Warriors will be the most hated team next season, entering the 2016-17 season as the team […]

The biggest topic of conversation this offseason has been about Kevin Durant and how he’ll acclimate to playing with his new Golden State Warriors teammates. Most pundits believe that chemistry will develop quickly and they’ll be one of the scariest forces the league has seen in a long time. Of course, roles are going to […]

Draymond Green has been nothing less than excited to be apart of the squad playing for coach Mike Krzyzewski. Green will be vital in a weaker, but able US team grabbing a third consecutive gold medal, since losing in the medal rounds in 2004. There is not enough pressure the situation has been able to […]

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 […]

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 phrase “super team” has been thrown around a lot recently to describe the Golden State Warriors. It’s an apt description of the Warriors’ roster, which now boasts two MVPs after the addition of Kevin Durant. The former Thunder player will join Golden State’s all-star core of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green, and […]

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.

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 […]

Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson aren’t called the “Splash Brothers” just because it’s a cool nickname. No. It’s because they make it rain. Last season, Curry had 402 three pointers while Thompson had 276. Collectively, the two teammates combined for a total of 678 threes. A Reddit user pointed out that the Golden State Warriors‘ backcourt tandem had […]

Klay Thompson could eventually go down as one of the greatest shooters in NBA history when all is said and done. His ability to shoot off screens and move off the ball is at an elite level. Whilst his shooting is a huge part of his game, he is also becoming incredibly important to his […]
