S.F. artist’s pro-Palestine murals keep getting defaced. Here’s why he continues to repaint them ...

Chris Gazaleh was trying to find just the right shade of blue when he glanced up at his Mission Street mural and shook his head. For the fifth time in 10 months, he was deciding how to repaint his scene of Palestinian resistance after it had been vandalized. The unnamed piece, of a kaffiyeh-clad Palestinian man preparing to throw a rock at an Israeli tank, now had “F— HAMAS” scrawled across it in black spray paint. Instead of using a bullhorn or chant like the thousands of pro-Palestinian demons…

‘It’s disgusting’: Why some Sacramentans are upset about A’s landin...

Robb Roberts should be ecstatic. Finally, after decades of driving for more than 90 minutes to Oakland A’s home games, his favorite MLB team is poised to move into a ballpark just 20 miles from his house. But when the A’s relocate next season to a minor-league facility in West Sacramento, Roberts, 43, won’t be in attendance. That is, unless he’s there for a protest. “It’d have to be something prearranged where we can make our voices heard,” Roberts said. “MLB, overall, is pretty gross to me righ…

Jordan Poole will face Warriors for first time, still shadowed by t...

As Jordan Poole listens to the roar of a Chase Center crowd again Friday night, he might reflect — if only for a moment — on what could have been. Another NBA title or two with the team that drafted him. The chance to succeed Stephen Curry as the face of the Golden State Warriors. The continued mentorship of a future Hall of Fame forward whom Poole once called a “big brother.” But the moment TMZ published video 14½ months ago of Draymond Green cold-cocking Poole at a preseason practice, all that…

What options do Warriors have if Klay Thompson remains in a rut? - ...

After fielding a question Monday afternoon about head coach Steve Kerr’s patience with the starting lineup, Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson smirked. “Hmm,” he said. “You want (Kerr) to bench me?” Thompson’s response might have seemed like a non sequitur. As the reporter pointed out, he hadn’t said anything about Thompson’s role. Thompson has been in the NBA long enough, though, to know what that reporter had been implying. Regardless of whether he wants to admit it, Thompson likely had…

‘Adapt or die’: How NIL has upended Bay Area schools’ basketball re...

San Jose State men’s basketball coach Tim Miles has come to dread the question that’s front of mind for many Division I recruits: How much NIL money is there? “The moment I hear those words,” Miles said, “I know we have no chance.” Not long ago, college basketball recruiting was mostly about relationships. Now, with a third of Division I players transferring each year for bigger minutes and paydays, coaches have noticed things become much more transactional. To keep pace, programs rely on donor…

The Warriors have made it clear to guard Klay Thompson that they’d like to see him around the team as much as possible this season. Thompson, who underwent surgery on his torn right Achilles tendon last month, is slogging through the early stages of his rehab process in Orange County. Golden State head coach Steve Kerr has kept in contact with Thompson and is optimistic that he’ll be around the team soon. Last season, while recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in Game 6 of the 2019 NBA Finals,…

Second-round pick Nico Mannion hopes to build family legacy with Wa...

Nico Mannion had just gotten off the phone with his agent when he glanced at his father, Pace, and came to a realization: Nearly four decades after Pace went in the NBA draft’s second round to the Warriors, Nico was about to go in that same round to that same team. Minutes later, when he heard his name called on the TV as Golden State’s selection at No. 48, Nico began to cry and his dad embraced him in their Scottsdale, Ariz., living room. Few would blame Mannion — a projected lottery pick just…

The Warriors are expected to follow city guidelines and reopen their facilities in the coming days, an NBA source told The Chronicle. Since Golden State shut down Chase Center in mid-March to help curtail the spread of the coronavirus, the team has maintained that it would follow Mayor London Breed’s lead in terms of reopening for voluntary workouts. Though the Warriors don’t know whether or not they’ll play another game this season, they plan to soon start allowing players at the facilities to…

After feeling like a “scapegoat” for the Sacramento Kings, Willie Cauley-Stein joined the Golden State Warriors with renewed purpose. The center is fueled by the memory of his late grandpa who raised him in the tiny prairie town of Spearville, Kansas.
