A lot of basketball fans have now regarded the Golden State Warriors as the so-called villains of the NBA.

The Portland Trail Blazers have made questionable signings throughout the past few years, so much so that they’ve actually spent just as much in three of their bench players as the Golden State Warriors have spent in their original “Big Three” of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green for the 2016-17 season. As pointed […]

Paul George, the most coveted player of the 2017 offseason, has been working behind the scenes to craft his future in L.A. — gauging a possible interest in Golden State Warriors sharpshooter Klay Thompson to team up in purple-and-gold, according to Kelenna Azubuike of NBC Sports Bay Area via 95.7 The Game.

Klay Thompson‘s smooth jump shot is one to marvel at, but when it comes to athletic feats, his game falls far from impressive.

Ronnie Reyes, known to most as “toaster guy,” made an appearance in today’s championship parade, as Klay Thompson followed through in his promise to send him an invitation to the event, riding one of the double-decker busses that strolled right around Lake Merritt and into the streets of Oakland. https://twitter.com/SInow/status/875407580557975552 Reyes got the toaster signed […]
