Jalen Rose says West is Wide Open for a Klay Thompson Return

A simple video can be enough to ignite conversation.

And that’s what happened when Jalen Rose, with his co-host David Jacoby, reacted to Klay Thompson’s Instagram story posts Wednesday on their show “Jalen and Jacoby''.

With Thompson’s absence from the court since June 13, 2019, Rose shared his expectations for the former Washington State guard and the Warriors this season after seeing Thompson run from corner to corner along the baseline and knock down jumpers like he has never even left.

Warriors center James Wiseman is entering an important second season with Golden State, one with raised expectations for the larger team as a whole.

How Stephen Curry Draws Inspiration From Tom Brady’s Career

As Stephen Curry enters the 13th season of his incredible career, one major question looms: how long can he sustain this for?

His 2021 All-NBA First Team selection indicates that he hasn’t slowed down yet. But his age of 33, style of play that relies on constant movement and relative lack of size are signs that he could have a significant decline in the coming years. He is fully aware of this, and is constantly looking for ways to counter this possibility. Those methods have included his workout and diet, but more recently, he’s focused on the mental aspect. And in doing so, he’s examined an athlete who plays a different sport.

Kobe's Enduring Impact on Warriors Clear on 8/24

If these last two days showed anything, it’s that Kobe Bryant meant a lot to the NBA community.

The five-time NBA champion, 18-time All-Star and 2008 NBA MVP would have celebrated his 43rd birthday yesterday, and with today’s date being August 24 (8/24) – representing the two numbers the 15-time All-NBA selection wore during his career, #8 and later #24 – the Black Mamba’s legacy lives on throughout the association.

And Golden State is no exception.

Warriors tied to Millsap with Free Agency Ongoing

It appears the Dubs might not be done just yet with their final roster spot still in the balance. The team had been loosely tied to veteran forward and former all-star Paul Millsap at the start of free agency, and although it appears those talks did not materialize, the team has not “closed the door” on signing Millsap, who played a good 20 minutes a game for the Nuggets last season, scoring a relatively-efficient 9 points per game on 34% from beyond the arc. Millsap was touted in his earlier days as a solid shooter and plus defender, even making the All-Defensive 2nd team in the 2015-2016 season. He would certainly be an addition that few could complain about character-wise, as his experience as a playoff contributor is not in question.
