In Nick Young’s mind, he’s always in heat-check mode. The veteran shooting guard never has hesitated from pulling up, even if it’s not in the best interest of his team. Young probably won’t get as many looks as he’s used to this season, as he’ll be a part of a loaded Golden State Warriors team which features lights-out shooters like Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson. But even though Young is surrounded by superstars, don’t think he’s lost his confidence or shoot-first mentality. In an interview with Bleacher Report’s Lance Fresh, Young was asked, “Game on the line, you’re open from your favorite spot, but KD and Steph... NESN.com

Golfer Roasts Stephen Curry, Warriors With 3-1 Wedge Stamp Before Web.Com Event
The Golden State Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the 2016 NBA Finals, and no one is ever going to let them forget that. Warriors star Stephen Curry is set to tee off in his first professional golf tournament Thursday when he takes the links at the Web.Com Tour’s Ellie Mae Classic in Hayward, Calif., thanks to a sponsorship exemption. And while the Warriors handily defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2017 NBA Finals, one of Curry’s competitors on the course isn’t going to let the two-time MVP forget about his team’s collapse from the previous season. Justin Lower is a huge Cavs fan, and he decided to rile up the locals with
Stephen Curry Hilariously Roasts Charles Barkley For Bashing Warriors
Share this: Stephen Curry hasn’t forgotten Charles Barkley’s throwing of shade at the Golden State Warriors. Curry, Barkley and a slew of other athletes will be taking part in this weekend’s American Century Championship golf tournament. And when “Chef” was asked whether he’d rather play alongside “Sir Charles” or have him as his caddy, the Warriors guard had an unsurprising response. But Steph made sure to return the favor for Barkley’s jabs at The Dubs over the course of last season. “I would put Chuck on the bag,” Curry told ASAP Sports. “He’s talked a lot of smack about me and the Warriors in years. So I would load up my bag with some bricks pre-round and definitely put him through that torture for
Stephen Curry Takes Jab At Madison Bumgarner’s Dirt Bike Accident
Share this: The Golden State Warriors aren’t thrilled about playing the Utah Jazz in their second-round NBA playoff series. Matt Barnes and Andre Iguodala were vocal about their distaste for Utah, as they are under the impression that the Beehive State lacks exciting nightlife. At Warriors practice Monday, Stephen Curry was asked how he’d spend his days off in Salt Lake City and the two-time MVP responded with a jab at a fellow Bay Area athlete. While Curry’s comment comes as a friendly joke, it probably wasn’t well received by San Francisco Giants fans. On April 21, Giants ace Madison Bumgarner was involved in a dirt bike accident in which he sustained bruised ribs and an AC sprain in his left shoulder. The right-hander
Celtics Wrap: Celtics Use Strong Defensive Effort To Down Warriors
The Boston Celtics snapped out of their recent funk with a marquee win Wednesday night against the Golden State Warriors at Oracle Arena. Boston held the Warriors to a season-low 86 points in a 99-86 victory that showcased the Celtics’ defensive grit. The game was tight until midway through the fourth quarter when the Celtics’ defense sparked a 15-0 run to blow the game open. All-Star point guard Isaiah Thomas led the C’s with 25 points, while Kelly Olynyk added 17 off the bench. Klay Thompson scored 25 points for the Warriors and Stephen Curry chipped in with 23, but the electric backcourt didn’t get enough help to overcome Boston’s s... NESN.com
Stephen Curry Ditches Panthers Gear For Raiders Jersey After Losing Bet
Share this: Stephen Curry might be the most popular athlete in Oakland, but that doesn’t mean he roots for the local NFL team. The Golden State Warriors point guard grew up in Charlotte, N.C., and has been a vocal supporter Panthers. He even took part in the Super Bowl 50 pregame festivities on the Carolina sideline. But that support ended up costing him Sunday, as he apparently lost a bet with the Raiders’ 35-32 win over the Panthers. As a result, he had to wear the Silver and Black at Oakland Coliseum. And the Raiders sure were happy. Sorry, Steph. Thumbnail photo via Matthew Emmons/USA TODAY Sports Images More Stories Source link
Lakers Destroy Warriors In 117-97 Win, End Stephen Curry’s 3-Point Streak
It’s safe to say Luke Walton’s first meeting against his former went pretty well.

What was it, like two years?
