Way Too Early 16-17 Warriors Final Roster Predictions

Admittedly, after a week of training camp and one preseason game, this is way too early, but for the sake of fun, I'll do it anyway.

With the exception of Varejão, they should all end up in Santa Cruz, provided that they aren't claimed by other teams.

Requiem for a Legend: Kobe Bean Bryant (1978-2020)

I still remember where I was when Kobe Bryant was drafted. It was 1996 and I was nine years old. It was the summer before 4th grade, and I had just started really watching the game. The NBA Draft was on TNT, and after the first few picks, I got bored and restless; not out of the ordinary for a grade schooler. I decided to go to my backyard and put up some shots, something I never did as often as I should have. After some time, I eventually made my way back into the house to catch the rest of the first round. With the 13th pick, the Charlotte Hornets selected the teenage phenom from Philly that many had heard about, but not everyone had seen. He never made it to the Queen City, however, as he was sent almost immediately to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for starting center Vlade Divac . Many may not have known it at the time, but this was the summer that would change the shape of the NBA for the next two decades. Aside from the fact the 1996 NBA Draft is now looked at as ...

The [UN]Official Canelo-Triple G Drinking Game!

On Saturday, September 16th, boxing fans' long wait will finally end, as Saul "Canelo" Álvarez (49-1-1, 34 KO) will battle Gennady "GGG" Golovkin (37-0, 33 KO) for middleweight supremacy at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. With the two being come-forward, action fighters, fans should expect plenty of fireworks as the two warriors trade shots throughout the night. However, they don't have to be the only ones doing so. All of you holding fight parties at home can join in as well. Now, before you accuse me of encouraging us all to engage in backyard brawls, let me just say I am doing no such thing. I bring to you: THE [UN]OFFICIAL CANELO-TRIPLE G DRINKING GAME! Drinking games are always a fun way to spice up any event, and to mark a special event such as seeing two of the best fighters in the game fight each other in their prime (from two regions that have given us traditional alcoholic staples) naturally, a unique game seems an appropriate trib...

Draymond & KD - When Keeping it Real Goes Wrong

Draymond Green expressing himself is nothing new. It's part of what makes him great. To call him an emotional player would be a gross understatement. He's loud, brash, in-your-face, and not afraid to say what's on his mind. In short, he keeps it real. However, as comedy legend Dave Chappelle taught us on his iconic Chappelle's Show , there are instances where keeping it real goes wrong. Green's well-publicized dust up with fellow All-Star Kevin Durant during - and following - Monday's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers was one of those instances, with much less comedic effect, leading to a one game suspension for last night's 110-103 win against the Atlanta Hawks. For those of you living under a proverbial rock, with the game tied in the fourth quarter, Green snatched a rebound off a missed shot by Clippers guard Lou Williams, raced down the court, ignoring the pleas of an open Durant, and ended up turning the ball over as time expired. At first yo...
