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 […]

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham had a lot to navigate in his first year on the job, not the least of which included a tough matchup in the 2023 NBA Playoffs against the Golden State Warriors.

The vast majority of NBA rookies aren’t ready to impact winning. On the surface, Trayce Jackson-Davis’ draft position alone all but forecloses the long-shot possibility he’d make his presence felt with the Golden State Warriors next season. As Steve Kerr suggests, though, Jackson-Davis isn’t most No. 57 picks, and the Warriors’ situation up front isn’t […]

The Golden State Warriors kept it local with the No. 19 pick of the 2023 NBA Draft, selecting reigning West Coast Conference co-Player of the Year Brandin Podziemski. While the lefty guard’s close proximity to Chase Center at nearby Santa Clara University no doubt helped the Dubs keep a close eye on him throughout 2022-23, […]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr recently got to meet the new weapons they acquired from the recently concluded 2023 NBA Draft.
