Team USA received a wake-up call on Sunday morning when Lithuania (figuratively) punched them in their collective mouths en route to a 110-104 victory to hand the international powerhouse its first loss of the 2023 FIBA World Cup — the only one they could afford if they were to win the entire competition. The Lithuanians, […]

It was never going to be an easy FIBA World Cup run for Team USA. The team was just formed weeks before the tournament and it showed against a ruthless Lithuania team led by Jonas Valanciunas. Hero ball reigned supreme in the last minutes of the game as the Red, White, and Blue tried to […]

Team USA’s unbeaten run in the 2023 FIBA World Cup was snapped by Lithuania in a 110-104 defeat. The Americans trailed by 19 at the end of the first quarter and failed to recover despite 35 points from Anthony Edwards.

Team USA is currently in the midst of competing for a gold medal at the 2023 FIBA World Cup.

The Chicago Bulls are one of the most recognized franchises in NBA history. Led by Michael Jordan in the 1990s, this team elevated the NBA into the global brand that we have grown to know and love. They were the rockstars of that era and everywhere the franchise went, international fans flooded the streets just […]

As most people predicted, Team USA has been dominating their competition at the FIBA World Cup. Behind the combined efforts of the entire team, the US squad has cruised against their group so far. However, there’s been an interesting change so far. After initially starting for the team, Brandon Ingram has been moved to the […]

In just three seasons in the NBA, Anthony Edwards has rapidly become a human highlight reel, with his incredible offensive talents making him one of the most watchable players in the world at the age of just 22.

That was a bit of a brawl, wasn’t it? Going up against Spain in preparation for the FIBA World Cup, Team USA eked out a narrow 10-point win. It was closer than the final score indicated: Spain went on a spirited rally in the second half of the game to scare the home team. Thanks […]

The apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree in the Kerr family.

The Golden State Warriors are coming off of a season in which the franchise’s magic touch seemed diminished after the attack by Draymond Green on current Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole.

The Team USA roster for the 2023 FIBA World Cup features a handful of All-Stars talents, as well as rising stars in the NBA. Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero is one of these rising stars and he is coming off of a fantastic rookie season in which he was awarded the league’s Rookie of the […]

The Golden State Warriors’ offseason overhaul has essentially come to a close. As league business shifts to the annual dog days of August, the Warriors know pretty much exactly what they’ll look like heading into the 2023-24 season. But just because Golden State has one lone roster spot left to fill and has already revamped […]

Golden State Warriors and Team USA head coach Steve Kerr is renowned for the relationships he’s built over all his years in the NBA, as a teammate, executive, analyst, and now as a coach. But Kerr’s reach goes beyond just the players on the court, as broadcaster Adam Amin revealed in a heartwarming story during […]

Team USA head coach Steve Kerr raved about New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson’s leadership skills before the 2023 FIBA World Cup. “I think Jalen is such a natural leader,” Kerr said, via a Sunday article from ESPN NBA Writer Tim Bontemps. “Because he’s a point guard, he immediately comes to mind. He’s the one who’s leading […]

The Golden State Warriors had nowhere else to turn in the playoffs when their beautiful game of ball and player movement was neutered by Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers. Being forced to revert to a steady diet of Stephen Curry ball screens is a luxury for the Dubs, obviously, but not a winning […]

The 2023-24 NBA regular season does not begin until October, but for NBA fans looking for something to watch, they will have the 2023 FIBA World Cup. Team USA basketball is set to go for a gold medal with a roster full of NBA players. But one of the challenges Team USA will face is […]

The 2023 FIBA World Cup roster is packed full of budding NBA stars for Coach Steve Kerr, but the team lacks one clear, bonafide go-to guy heading into group play later this month. The Team USA roster includes former Rookie of the Year Paolo Banchero of the Orlando Magic, New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson […]

The FIBA World Cup was last played in 2019, and things did not go as planned for Team USA. After going a perfect 3-0 in the group stage of the tournament, USA Basketball lost to Serbia and France in the knockout stages, failing to place or win the competition altogether. With the World Cup on […]

Steve Kerr knows pretty much exactly what he expects Chris Paul to bring to the Golden State Warriors. With official preparations for 2023-24 on the horizon, he still seems largely unconcerned by whether the future Hall-of-Fame floor general will start or come off the bench, confident that training camp will answer looming questions about the […]

Given all the success he has had as the head coach of the Golden State Warriors through the years, as well as an assistant coach under Mike Krzyzewski with the national team, it was a no-brainer decision for USA Basketball to make Steve Kerr their head coach. While the upcoming 2023-24 season is definitely on […]

The Golden State Warriors are entering the 2023-24 season with a new lease on life. The team’s former star Jordan Poole has been traded as part of a deal that landed Chris Paul, the legendary point guard who has had more than his fair share of intense playoff battles with the Dubs. Recently, Warriors head […]

In an attempt to keep their championship window open, the Golden State Warriors made a shocking move this offseason acquiring future Hall of Fame point guard Chris Paul in a trade with the Washington Wizards. Some have already begun questioning Paul’s fit with the Warriors including asking him directly during Summer League. While it’s still […]

Steve Kerr wasn’t exactly surprised the Golden State Warriors didn’t repeat as champions last season, but it’s at least safe to say he was disappointed. Just because his team failed to raise the Larry O’Brien Trophy in June for a remarkable fifth time in nine seasons, though, hardly means Kerr didn’t glean joy from another […]

The Golden State Warriors selected Stephen Curry with the number seven pick in the 2009 NBA Draft. Since then, Curry has gone on to redefine NBA basketball as we know it by becoming the game’s all-time leading three-point shooter and winner of four NBA titles. The Warriors selected the 6-foot-2, relatively slender Curry at a […]

The Golden State Warriors are known for their star power. However, during their dynasty, they’ve leaned on valuable depth players as well.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr recently commented on Saric and Joseph’s potential […]

The Golden State Warriors shocked the NBA world by acquiring Chris Paul in an offseason trade.

Less than an hour after his team’s tumultuous title defense officially came to a close, Steve Kerr admitted what the previous eight months had made depressingly clear. The Golden State Warriors just were “not a championship team,” he said, appropriately “maxed out” with a six-game loss to the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference […]

The Golden State Warriors endured difficult times and a “loss of trust” last season according to Head Coach Steve Kerr after Draymond Green’s infamous punch against former teammate Jordan Poole. Now that Poole is a Washington Wizard, true feelings are surfacing surrounding the incident and how it impacted the Warriors’ franchise. Green said recently that […]

The Golden State Warriors re-signed Draymond Green at the start of 2023 NBA free agency, keeping the core of its dynasty together for at least one more year. Warriors coach Steve Kerr has been a key part of that core, leading the group to its first of four rings in the season that he joined […]

The Golden State Warriors finished last season in disappointing fashion, though they started it in controversial fashion as well with Draymond Green’s practice attack on Jordan Poole. Poole has since been traded to the Washington Wizards, which caused him to open up on the move recently. On the other hand, Green signed a massive $100 […]

Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry still has one basketball accolade he has yet to win, and he might try to pursue it next year just to stop Steve Kerr from bugging him about it. When asked about potentially joining Team USA in the 2024 Olympics, Curry refused to give a direct answer. However, Steph […]
