The Golden State Warriors are a storied franchise with a lot of fantastic players. With the NBA creating an all-time team consisting of 75 players for this year’s anniversary of the league, some Dubs deserve some recognition for their past achievements. Here are the 9 members of this team that have represented the blue and yellow during their basketball career.
Read MoreEvery team needs options. A multitude of dynamic scoring is often what makes up the best championship teams, and for a few years ongoing now, that’s been the case: Every championship team in the last decade has won a championship by having more than one guy who can create their own shot: The Heatles had Wade and LeBron, the Spurs had Ginobili and Duncan, the Warriors had Steph, Klay and KD. Even more recent championship teams aside from the dynasties had that consistency: While Siakam has regressed a lot since 2019, he was a reliable self-made scorer alongside Kawhi Leonard on the Raptors.

Although he’s been a solid player throughout his career, the return of championship-winning swingman Andre Iguodala and addition of former key to the Wizards big 3 Otto Porter Jr. overshadowed Bjelica’s arrival, especially because many were unfamiliar with his game.
Read MoreJordan Poole didn’t disappoint in his regular-season debut Tuesday night as he seemingly picked up right where he left off from last season.
Poole poured in 20 points in only 25 minutes of floor time against the LA Lakers while carrying some of the scoring burden during important portions of the game.
Read MoreTo say the Warriors had a scrappy win over the Lakers last night would be an understatement: They executed the little things well enough to get the season started right (to the tune of 30 total team assists, 9 offensive boards and 55 points from the bench mob), but it sure wasn’t pretty. The most disappointing aspect, however, was probably Steph Curry’s performance on the night.
