Brandon King

The NBA Finals are now a best-of-three series after the Golden State Warriors got what amounted to a must win 107-97 win in Game 4.

Steph Curry says “Im good” on playing with Lebron

Brandon King

It’s no secret Lebron James loves playing with fellow great players. Over the past decade he’s done what he can to position himself to ball with some of the top talent in the league, which has contributed to his eight consecutive finals appearances and three championships during that span.
