Golden State Warriors News: Stephen Curry Fouled Kevin Durant But Officials Whistle At Joe Johnson! [DETAILS HERE]
The Golden State Warriors remain to be the favorite team in the NBA league today. However, things between the Warriors has become more interesting when Kevin Durant joined Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green in the team.
GSW is dubbed as the best team because its roster includes the two of the top three players in the NBA. They also have a number of NBA All-Stars.
However, KD's addition to the team was plagued with controversy. There are rumors that Kevin Durant might overshadow the Splash Brothers, Curry and Thompson with his unstoppable talent on the basketball court.
News Everyday previously reported that Klay Thompson is leaving Golden State Warriors because Kevin Durant steals the spotlight. KD has a number of isolation plays and his team members don't like it. Thompson, in particular, has to sacrifice a lot of ball time when Durant is playing alongside him.
Now, the team is in another controversy. According to NBC last Thursday, something happened during GSW's game against the Utah Jazz. In one scenario, Kevin Durant got the ball and was so intense in shooting it but found his arms locked in another player. The officials whistled at Utah Jazz's shooting guard Joe Johnson.
However, in a closer look, to the surprise of many, it was Stephen Curry who locked arms with his Warriors teammate KD. The report notes that the team is just so talented that officials blow whistles in their favor. KD was granted free throws, but only made one of two shots successful.
GSW has moved from the said incident right away but some NBA enthusiasts were not over it. Check out some tweets below.
