Klay Thompson posts tribute for the late Michael K. Williams to social media, "A true leader, you will be so missed brother"

Actor Michael K. Williams — who most notably played the character Omar Little on hit TV series “The Wire” — was found dead on Monday in his Brooklyn penthouse, due to what is suspected to be a heroin overdose, according to multiple reports.

Williams, 54, was vocal about his issues with drugs over the course of his career. He admitted during the filming of “The Wire” that when he was getting into the role of Little, a character who robbed drug dealers, it affected him in his real life.

Klay Thompson, who spent time with Williams during the filming of a commercial, posted a tribute to the late actor to his Instagram account on Tuesday.

Warriors Remain the League’s Most Hated… Three Years Later

If your favorite team not based out of the Bay Area was title-competitive for the latter half of the 2010s, chances are their championship dreams were smashed by the proficiency of the Golden State Warriors. After setting an NBA regular-season record of 73 wins and losing a controversial 2016 NBA Finals, the Dubs sacrificed depth for star power and added arguably the greatest scoring threat in all-time in Kevin Durant. They went on to win two championships before injuries plagued them in 2019 against the Raptors, with Durant’s departure coming the next year. It was dominance unlike anything the league had seen since Michael Jordan’s two three-peats, a feat that none have come close to achieving since.

Nico Mannion to miss several weeks of basketball as he recovers from stomach virus, photo shows a very slender Mannion

We’re coming up on almost a month now since the news broke that Nico Mannion would be taking his talents to Italy.

On August 10 it was announced that Mannion agreed to sign with Virtus Bologna of the Italian Lega Basket Serie A and the EuroCup. The move was made as Mannion felt that rather than being a two-way player, which is the type of contract he was on with Golden State, he could better develop his game playing in Italy rather than bouncing back and forth from the NBA to the G-League. The Warriors still retain his restricted free agency rights should Mannion return to the NBA.

In 36 games seemingly in the role of Stephen Curry’s primary backup at the point guard position, Poole poured in more than 20 points nine times along with 27 double-digit scoring showings.
