Jordan Poole was quite a revelation for the Golden State Warriors last season. There’s no denying that the 23-year-old was integral to the Dubs’ title run and that he’s going to be a key member of this squad this coming season and beyond. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr believes that Poole has it in him […]

The Golden State Warriors hoisted the Larry O’Brien Trophy again in 2018, winning back-to-back championships for the first time in franchise history. It wasn’t a smooth start to the season that helped Golden State manage the trials and tribulations associated with its title defense, though. The team’s trip to China for a pair of exhibition […]

The Golden State Warriors have made a point of letting Andre Iguodala work through his decision to play one more season or call his career quits without interference. As training camp for the 2022-23 season fast approaches, though, they’ll apparently be taking a more active approach in recruiting Iguodala back to the fold. During a […]

There’s no doubting the Golden State Warriors will take it relatively during the regular season. After proving their dynasty is alive and well by winning a fourth championship in eight years, the Warriors don’t have anything left to prove over the 82-game grind of 2022-23. Don’t confuse Golden State saving its energy for the playoffs […]

If there is a player Golden State Warriors tactician Steve Kerr would want to coach, it’s none other than Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo … and for good reasons. In an interview with FilGoal as he visits Egypt for NBA Africa, Kerr was asked which player outside the Dubs he dreams of coaching. He didn’t […]

Leadership traits transcend sports. Still, that hardly means Stephen Curry’s singular impact on the Golden State Warriors is easily replicated.

The Golden State Warriors didn’t run it back after all. But just because the defending champions’ departures in free agency leave their bench completely overhauled doesn’t necessarily mean the Warriors’ depth is any less impressive than it was last season. Just ask Steve Kerr. In a sprawling Q&A with Anthony Slater of The Athletic, Kerr extolled […]

It remains to be seen just how much James Wiseman will play for the Golden State Warriors in 2022-23. As the talented seven-footer resumes his on-court career after losing all of last season to injury, though, Steve Kerr is fully confident Wiseman will be in a more fruitful developmental ecosystem than he was during his […]

The Golden State Warriors have guaranteed money committed to 13 players for 2022-23 after officially signing veteran free agent JaMychal Green and second-round pick Ryan Rollins. They’ll enter training camp in late September with one open roster spot, either signing the winner of an open camp competition on the cheap or keeping it vacant all […]

It obviously lacks the overall gravity and narrative punch of Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodala flying to The Hamptons to pitch Kevin Durant. But if the Golden State Warriors repeat as champions next season, there’s a good chance Steve Kerr’s recruiting call to a vacationing JaMychal Green will have nevertheless played […]

We all got to love NBA debates because a lot of them are just not going to die, ever. Take for example topic of who beats who in a fantasy showdown between the Kevin Durant-led Golden State Warriors team that won an NBA title and the storied 1998 Chicago Bulls squad that won the last […]

Jonathan Kuminga flashed all the physical tools and nascent skill in Summer League that makes him a fixture of Golden State Warriors’ long-term future. But the sophomore forward’s play in Las Vegas was objectively inconsistent nevertheless, most beset by a jumper that failed him again and again from both beyond at the arc and at […]

The Golden State Warriors just keep on winning. It’s been nearly a month since the Dubs lifted their fourth championship in the span of eight years, but at this point, the awards still keep on coming. The latest recipient of another noteworthy honor is Ron Adams, an assistant coach on Steve Kerr’s staff. The 74-year-old […]

The once-juggernaut Golden State Warriors reverted back to “Strength In Numbers” to win a remarkable fourth championship in eight seasons. As Steve Kerr’s assistants continue reaping the rewards of the team’s sustained success, the Warriors are relying on that long-held rallying cry to compensate for Mike Brown’s departure to their Northern California rivals. Amid Brown […]

Steve Kerr was busy during the lead-up to the 2022 NBA Draft, guiding the reinvigorated Golden State Warriors to a fourth championship in eight years after they missed the playoffs each of the last two seasons. But he was able to get his eyes on one group workout at Warriors headquarters regardless, a random happenstance […]

Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors just proved that they are still the best team in the NBA. This is exactly why it’s hard to imagine how dominant the Dubs would be if Kevin Durant was still on the team. On a recent appearance on the Point Forward podcast with Andre Iguodala and Evan Turner, […]

The Golden State Warriors have a lot of decisions to make in free agency, but there’s one guy head coach Steve Kerr finds irreplaceable for the NBA champions. That guy is Kevon Looney.

In Game 4 of the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Boston Celtics, Dubs head coach Steve Kerr made a huge call that would have a significant impact not only on the outcame of that particular game, but in the series as well. With Warriors star Draymond Green struggling all night, coach […]

Draymond Green’s beef with the Boston Celtics fans was well-documented throughout the NBA Finals. The feud became so intense that at one point, the Boston home crowd started chanting “F–k you Draymond” chants toward the Golden State Warriors star. Dubs head coach Steve Kerr has now spoken out about that incident, and in his mind, […]

Stephen Curry came off the bench for the Golden State Warriors to start their playoff run. The Dubs superstar was coming off an injury and he was on a minutes limit as Golden State entered their first-round matchup against the Denver Nuggets. It was a temporary move that might be considered somewhat irrelevant for some, […]

Even the most zealous Dub Nation partisans must admit that the Golden State Warriors’ latest title team doesn’t compare to its predecessors in terms of individual talent and overall quality. The 2017 and 2018 Warriors were two of the most dominant squads in league history, championship shoo-ins around Steph Curry and Kevin Durant even before […]

The Golden State Warriors are still on a championship high. The title-clinching game is still fresh from their memories and the parade celebration hangover probably still lingers.

If anything, that championship experience should give his veterans and the […]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr couldn’t help but gush at Klay Thompson’s Michael Jordan declaration for him after they won the 2022 NBA Championship.

No one had more fun at the Golden State Warriors joyously raucous championship celebration than Klay Thompson. As he downed Hennessy from the bottle, turned Market Street into an impromptu dance floor with his best Michael Jackson impression and even bowled over one fan after tripping on his feet, it’s safe to say the years […]

The Golden State Warriors retained a key piece to their championship puzzle with the return of assistant coach Kenny Atkinson after he reneged on a move to become the head coach of the Charlotte Hornets. That led to some speculation that perhaps he stuck around in Golden State in a forward-thinking move as Steve Kerr’s […]

Steve Kerr’s trophy cabinet is jam-packed. He won five championships as a player, and he’s now just lifted his fourth title as the head coach of the Golden State Warriors.

As a player, Steve Kerr had the privilege of playing alongside some of the greatest ballers this game has ever seen.
