The Golden State Warriors have been relentless at going after critics and haters after winning the NBA title against the Cavaliers. We had Draymond show up to their victory parade in a ‘Quickie’ shirt, and a hilarious and entertaining Instagram war that ensued afterwards. We also had Kevin Durant blasting people on Twitter.
Now we have the San Francisco Examiner throwing shade at OKC print media.
The Golden State Warriors have been making political statements for a long time. Steve Kerr has spoken out against President Donald J. Trump’s policies since the election. David West, Andre Iguodala, and Draymond Green have criticized Trump. Even mild-mannered Stephen Curry called him an “ass” on the record. Few sports teams are more rehearsed in the practice of political protest these days than the Warriors.
Fultz is the consensus top choice for most experts, but not for me. Here's why.
Just about the only consensus opinion entering the 2017 NBA draft is that Markelle Fultz should and will be the first pick. The Boston Celtics have already gotten familiar with Fultz on a personal level, and his main competitor for the No. 1 slot, Lonzo Ball, might not even be the Los Angeles Lakers' choice at No. 2. Fultz's well-rounded profile has won out over Ball's more polarizing strengths and weaknesses.
Chris Paul may meet with other teams, but that doesn’t mean he’ll turn down more money from the Clippers.

Lonzo Ball has been linked to the Los Angeles Lakers since he emerged onto the college basketball scene during his freshman season with the UCLA Bruins.
The Celtics are considering trading down in the loaded draft class
The Boston Celtics are in serious talks to trade the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft to the Philadelphia 76ers, according to ESPN’s Marc Stein and Zach Lowe. The 76ers own the No. 3 overall pick in the draft.
The Warriors posted the best playoff performance in NBA history, have four All-Stars, three combined MVP awards, and the deepest roster in the league. Not good enough for KD.
After joining a team that set the record for most wins ever in an NBA season, featured three All-Stars, and a two-time Most Valuable Player, Kevin Durant said he does not feel the Golden State Warriors are a “superteam.”
Fox: “I guess when your son is a lottery pick, that gives you a lot of confidence."
De’Aaron Fox had some added motivation when his Kentucky Wildcats took on Lonzo Ball’s UCLA Bruins in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. According to Sports Illustrated, that reason was to “shut LaVar Ball up.”
This LeBron James quote proves he understands why Kevin Durant joined the Warriors
No one can ever take the 2017 championship away from Kevin Durant, and LeBron James knows that better than anyone. James, a three-time champion himself, couldn’t help but recall his own first championship when asked about how he felt about Durant winning.
