    Facing the juggernaut that has been created in Golden State for many years to come, unless James is meshed with another superstar, Irving’s departure will surely prevent any future championship for “the King.” James has depended on Irving’s clutch shots and ability to score for help during the playoffs. Currently, James is 3-5 all time in the Finals. It’s a pretty shabby record compared to that of Jordan’s 6-0 or even Kobe Bryant’s 5-1.…

    If you're a 6-foot tall point guard, opportunities for success in the NBA are limited. Most NBA executives think using a high draft pick on a player of short stature is a losing proposition. The fact that Isaiah Thomas was the 60th overall pick in his own draft says it all, really. Yogi Ferrell is another 6-foot prospect trying to carve out a successful NBA career. He did very well at the 2016 Las Vegas Summer League, averaging 8.8 points, 1.8 assists and 1.5 rebounds in four games with the Nets.…

    The Golden State Warriors are really, really good at basketball. After taking the league by storm last season en route to an NBA Championship, the Warriors have begun their title defense by completely rewriting the record books.

Under Steve Kerr and his coaching staff, including current interim head coach Luke Walton, the Warriors have used their ridiculous assemblage of talent to steamroll the rest of the league. In the process, they've helped to redefine how basketball is played in the NBA.…
