The San Antonio Spurs and Golden State Warriors have started a rivalry over the past three seasons. Gregg Popovich and his former player, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, have done a masterful job at bringing a lot of success to their teams, by calling the right plays on the sidelines. As ironic as it is […]

Old habits die hard for old and young — and being in the same line of work won’t deter that at all. Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr took up his usual dinner with his former coach and now colleague Gregg Popovich of the San Antonio Spurs, and now even after many years have […]

It’s no secret that the Golden State Warriors defense has been way below the level it’s been over the past few years. The Warriors are currently 25th in defensive efficiency, a precipitous drop from last year’s rank of second. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr isn’t overly concerned by that fact, but he does point out […]

We’re three years away from the next U.S. presidential election, but Steve Kerr won’t hesitate to vote for his colleague and former coach Gregg Popovich if he was to run for president. “I truly would vote for Pop. Like, he would make a great president,” Kerr told reporters Wednesday ahead of a Western Conference Finals […]

The Golden State Warriors are fresh off another championship win, but won’t be making a trip to the White House as it’s become customary, after President Donald Trump rescinded a never-sent invitation after point guard Stephen Curry said in a press conference that he would choose not to attend due to the actions from the […]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr hasn’t been shy about speaking in mind and when asked about former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and finding himself out of a job past the midway line of the NFL season, he was his usual blunt self. “Oh, he is being blackballed. That’s a no-brainer,” said […]

Despite a rough start to the 2017-18 season, the Golden State Warriors are preparing to extend their head coach Steve Kerr to a long-term contract, according to Tim Kawakami of The Athletic. Kerr noted earlier in the offseason that he wasn’t worried about his contract extension, but rather zoning-in on coaching this team through a […]

Steve Kerr had no problem diagnosing the reason the Golden State Warriors have experienced three early-season losses in their first seven games of the 2017-18 season. The culprit wasn’t any more evident than surrendering a whopping 25 turnovers in a 115-107 loss to the Detroit Pistons. “At some point the ball just has to matter. […]

Despite being down big during parts of the second half, the Golden State Warriors were still able to battle back and beat the Washington Wizards, 120-117, on Friday night. However, head coach Steve Kerr was not impressed with the team’s focus for most of the game and instead credited the team’s talent for why they […]

The Golden State Warriors have gotten up to an unexpectedly shaky start, now at 3-2 after suffering two losses — one to the Houston Rockets in the season-opener and another to the Memphis Grizzlies within the first three games of the season. The team has been through lapses of focus, squandering leads in nearly every […]

Golden State Warriors consultant and former two-time MVP Steve Nash received his much overdue championship ring from the organization from a shirtless head coach Steve Kerr — a much different endeavor than the official ring ceremony he politely declined last week. Nash, who fell short of winning a championship during his playing days, opted not […]

After seeing his team lose two of their first three games, the Golden State Warriors are in an unfamiliar situation. With all the success they’ve had the past the three years, owning a losing record is something they are not used to. There are different factors that contributed to their slow start, but Steve Kerr […]

Following Stephen Curry’s ejection on Saturday night against the Memphis Grizzlies, one of the questions that emerged was what sanction he will receive from the league office, once the review of the incident has been made. Already in the last minute of the the game, the former back-to-back MVP appeared to throw his mouthpiece at a […]

The front row appearance of a Klay Thompson look-a-like at Oracle Arena was the icing on the cake for a gold-inspired ring night for the Golden State Warriors. For head coach Steve Kerr, it was a symbolic resemblance to what his team looked like on the court in a narrow 122-121 loss to the Houston […]

The Houston Rockets stunned the Golden State Warriors on opening night, as they won on the road against the defending champions in a squeaker, 122-121. They showcased their new identity, as their improved defense was in full display, especially when they rallied from 17 points down in the second half, to pull off the come-from-behind […]

Coming into his fourth year as the man at the helm of the Golden State Warriors, head coach Steve Kerr hasn’t been concerned about a contract extension of the five-year deal he signed back in 2014, according to NBC Sports Bay Area’s Monte Poole. The 52-year-old is rather focused on his long-term health after notably […]

Omri Casspi joined the Golden State Warriors with relatively little fanfare this offseason as he arrived on a veteran’s minimum contract. Meanwhile, Nick Young — a significantly bigger name and more popular player — was signed with the Warriors’ full mid-level exception of $5.2 million. One would’ve expected Young to have the clear upper hand […]

As head coach of the defending champion Golden State Warriors, Steve Kerr has a bit more confidence in his team than most other coaches in the league. But he just doesn’t believe in his All-Star quartet of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant and Draymond Green. Kerr told Mark Medina of the Mercury News that […]

Klay Thompson’s fun offseason just got even more interesting. Nope, this isn’t about Thompson going back to China and reliving #ChinaKlay nor is this about him agreeing to endorse a toaster brand. With just a few days before the NBA regular season kicks in, Thompson found himself enmeshed in a sporting challenge against a sports […]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr didn’t shy away from generational comparisons, grabbing one of his closest assets in Steve Nash and comparing him to his current point guard, Stephen Curry, as the team nears the end of training camp. Kerr explained his reasoning for the comparison, noting the evolution of the point guard […]

Coming off the best individual postseason of his career, Stephen Curry will enter his ninth season with little left to accomplish after netting two championships, two Most Valuable Player awards, multiple All-Star stints, and a cornucopia of records bearing his name. Yet, the Golden State Warriors guard will head into this season trying to repeat […]

The Golden State Warriors reloaded this offseason by signing seven of their impending free agents, including two key starters and two essential players off the bench. If that wasn’t enough, the reigning champions scored great fits on sharpshooter Nick Young, and all-around forward Omri Casspi, giving the team maximum flexibility to play them at various […]

The Golden State Warriors have revolutionized not only the offensive firepower that can be had in this league, but also the efficiency in which it can happen under. While the Dubs were a team with plenty of potential under Mark Jackson, the Steve Kerr era brought a completely different dimension, tapping into the potential of […]

In the aftermath of the Golden State Warriors’ 142-110 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, Warriors coach Steve Kerr was asked by The Athletic’s Anthony Slater what his favorite moment of the trip has been. One would think that seeing Stephen Curry explode for 40 points in three quarters would be fresh in Kerr’s mind. But […]

When the Golden State Warriors signed Nick Young in the summer, they had high hopes that he could immediately make an impact for them off the bench, and contribute with his efficient outside shooting. That has not been the case though so far, as he’s been struggling in the preseason, and even suffered a bad […]

The Las Vegas shooting massacre last Sunday shocked the entire nation and sparked another wave of heated debates about gun control. There were over 50 dead bodies and hundreds of injured people left by that incident. Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr has been among those clamoring for the government to amend laws that would […]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was not happy with his team’s conditioning level after the first set of a double-header against the Minnesota Timberwolves, taking a 111-97 loss after building a strong lead in the second quarter. “I think our conditioning needs work,” said Kerr. “As I mentioned earlier we were tired, kind […]

Following the huge announcement made by the NBA on the changes that the league office will implement on the All-Star game format, many have given their thumbs up for the proactive approach as they feel that the change will benefit fans the most, by having a more competitive exhibition game. Golden State Warriors head coach […]

Warriors’ coach Steve Kerr commended Klay Thompson’s willingness to take less money in the future, similar to the way Kevin Durant did this summer, in order to keep the team’s core intact. Thompson said earlier this week that he’d take a few million less if it meant that this group could stay together longer, given […]

Following a championship season, Kevin Durant is now a different player coming into his second year at training camp with the Golden State Warriors. The 2016-17 camp and season served much as an introduction to the system, one he quickly picked up on, but still needed to pick up on different aspects of his game. […]

In the midst of a lasting debate of the preview of a Sports Illustrated cover from Tuesday morning, Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry and head coach Steve Kerr were dismayed at the portrayal of the issue without its most important voice. The cover showed Curry locking arms with LeBron James and Roger Goodell […]

Over the last few seasons, the Golden State Warriors have developed into the standard bearer offensively in the NBA. Much of this has been fueled by their unselfish play on that end of the floor that head coach Steve Kerr recently told Carl Steward of The Mercury News that he believes they are the best […]

Steve Kerr and Charles Barkley have shared more than just a few laughs. From sharing the court during their playing days to the screen during Kerr’s days at TNT, to even golfing alongside each other in the offseason. The two former players, now into very different roles in their careers, still come close to butting […]

The Golden State Warriors became the center of attention on Saturday morning with President Donald Trump taking to social media his decision to uninvite the organization to the White House. However, the Warriors had yet to come to a decision on whether they would even take up the opportunity to visit the White House. This […]

It has been an odd offseason for Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant. It has a lot to do with how he uses his social media accounts — burner Twitter accounts and all. For most of the summer, Durant’s fingertips have been busy replying to his fans and detractors alike on Twitter, but a gaffe […]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr says he is still not feeling 100 percent well, but is confident in his ability to reach peak physical condition, per The Mercury News’ Mark Medina. Steve Kerr: "I feel better. I'm not 100 %. But I'm on a good path & feel confident I'll be 100%." — […]

Steve Kerr was a teammate of the great Michael Jordan in his Chicago Bulls days, but instead of being “Like Mike,” Kerr wants to be like Klay Thompson if he could turn back time. The Golden State Warriors head coach praised his sweet-shooting two-guard, telling the Washington Post’s Tim Bontemps that Klay’s “got it all figured out.” Steve Kerr: […]

There are no shortage of great shooters on the Golden State Warriors. From the Splash Brothers, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, to Kevin Durant, the Warriors have three of the best shooters of all-time all on the same team. However, new Warrior Nick Young didn’t pick either of those three when asked who the best […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, and San Antonio Spurs are all expected to be top title challengers to the defending champion Golden State Warriors this season.
