So much for the Golden State Warriors going 82-0.

Tuesday night’s season opener for the Warriors against the San Antonio Spurs here at Oracle Arena was supposed to be a festive occasion and a chance to see Kevin Durant play with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green for the first time in a game that counted.

Kevin Garnett is still hooping with the Brooklyn Nets, but when the 38-year-old is ready to retire, he reportedly wants to buy the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to Yahoo! Sports’ Marc J. Spears.

New House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy told CBN News that any potential attempt to impeach President Barack Obama should be taken off the table. 

Several conservatives have mentioned impeachment, saying the president has been overstepping his constitutional authority.

Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant is a shoe free agent after his seven-year, $60 million deal with Nike expired.

 

Nike has helped build Durant’s brand a little bit with brilliant marketing campaigns and popular signature shoes, but his ability on the court is what drives the image of Durant.
