With the All-Time NBA Three-Point Record Broken, Stephen Curry Has Guaranteed His Third MVP Award

Last week, Ernie Johnson of Inside the NBA on TNT asked the crew for their “bold” predictions this season. Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal, a dedicated fan of no. 30 of the Golden State Warriors, echoed his appreciation for his favorite NBA player: “Steph Curry will win the MVP…unanimously.” A second unanimous MVP for Curry? Perhaps a bold statement when it was made a week ago. But after a historic night at Madison Square Garden, it’s safe to say that Stephen Curry has an all-time NBA record to

Stephen Curry Partners With UConn’s Azzi Fudd in Latest NIL Milestone

Stephen Curry is the greatest show in all of sports, and he stands among a select few players who can rightfully claim to have changed the game of basketball. Similar to how he shaped the game with his ability to stretch the floor, Curry continues to advance the game of basketball off the floor in a variety of ways. From establishing the Eat.Learn.Play foundation with his wife Ayesha Curry to signing a monumental talent deal with Comcast NBCUniversal, the Curry brand continues to expand and chan

Warriors will utilize the G-League for Moses Moody and Jonathan Kuminga this season

The Golden State Warriors have title aspirations this season, and that means an elevated responsibility for every player on the roster. From the starters to the 15th man, if the opportunity comes to make an impact, it’s expected you’ll make the most of it. In reality, that’s a tall task for some of the younger players, most notably the two first-round rookies: Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody. The best experience for younger players is ultimately minutes on the floor. With a Warriors roster bol

The Golden State Warriors picked up a blowout (103-82) win over the Oklahoma City Thunder that flipped the script of the season in a matter of 48 hours. After a tough loss to the Grizzlies highlighted areas for improvement, Saturday night’s win brought the Warriors’ record to 5-1, driven by another scoring barrage from Stephen Curry in the third quarter, an aggressive Draymond Green (14 points), and a Golden State defense that held the Thunder to 35 percent shooting from the field. The win was

Klay Thompson Reacts to Being Snubbed on NBA's 75th Anniversary Team

With over seven decades of NBA basketball having been played, it’s a tall order to honor just 75 players with this list. At the end of the day, a player equally deserving (at the least) will be snubbed and miss out. When comparing individual accolades, it can be a toss-up between one player over the other based on point of view. But Klay’s second social media post hit the nail on the head: “Winning isn’t everything to some people like it is to me I guess.” As defined by the NBA, this 75th Anni

Draymond and Steph Sound Off on NBA’s New Foul Rule

Changes are coming to the NBA this season that will benefit the game of basketball both fundamentally and aesthetically. Remember the days when players would steer clear of foul hunting, namely at the three-point line? Those days are coming back. Per a new NBA rule instituted this season, offensive players will be prevented from drawing a shooting foul if they jump into a defender at an abnormal angle. The new rule states that “marginal” contact should be a no-call, while exaggerated contact sh

Warriors Roster Competition Heats up as Avery Bradley, Langston Galloway, and Jordan Bell Contend for Final Spot in Training Camp

Come the end of training camp, one of four players could fill the last remaining roster spot for Golden State: Avery Bradley, Langston Galloway, Jordan Bell, and Gary Payton II. Avery Bradley headlined the trio of signings, given the Warriors’ past experience in targeting him via free agency. The 30-year-old veteran, who spent last season with both the Miami Heat and Houston Rockets, has made a name for himself with his ability to impact the game on both ends of the court.

Dominating on the court can create a lasting legacy in the NBA, but with this generation of athletes, we’ve continuously seen them expand their personal brands and influence outside the confines of an NBA arena. LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry are among the notable NBA athletes who have built their brands with expansion into new verticals such as tech and entertainment.

Damian Lillard to the Warriors? A Fun, But Not Feasible Fit

The Golden State Warriors have to get a pulse on every available player on their radar, big or small. So when chatter grew of Damian Lillard’s possible displeasure with the Portland Trail Blazers, it’d be foolish if all 29 other NBA teams didn’t at least look into acquiring the star point guard. For some franchises there’s groundwork for a deal, and for others it’s a longshot. For Golden State, they fall into the latter scenario. And yet they wouldn’t be doing themselves justice if they didn’t

It’s not an understatement to say that the 2020-2021 Golden State Warriors season was one that was hard to stomach. After a Klay Thompson Achilles injury appeared to doom the season before it tipped off, we witnessed peak-level Stephen Curry performances that were highlighted by an absurd scoring barrage in the month of April. Those highs would only be matched with gut-wrenching losses and frustrating missed opportunities that ultimately led to a postseason absence for the Golden State Warriors.
