At 18, Yaxel Lendeborg was ready to give up on his basketball dreams. Six years later, he’s rejuvenated Stephen Curry’s Warriors. 🏀 https://t.co/fjxvijmPEB

Take a couple of minutes to watch and appreciate what this guy is doing at age 38! Amazing! 👏👏

Natalie Nakase fainted. Veronica Burton took blow after blow. Tiffany Hayes dived and crashed to the floor. They embodied the resolve that led the Golden State Valkyries to a WNBA title. https://t.co/k8fgbqE8r9

What a blessing for Earvin to still be here and talking about it 35 years later. Awesome. I was at the Forum on November 7, 1991, just a year or two into my NBA journey. I'll never forget that day.

[Earvin Magic Johnson @MagicJohnson]

Look at how far God has brought me since my HIV announcement 35 years ago! It is truly because of His grace and mercy that I am still here and thriving. God never gave up on me, and I kept the faith. He has truly blessed me beyond measure with His unconditional love and kindness. With His guidance, He has continued to open doors I always knew were possible. I am thankful for all of the prayers from my family, friends, and fans throughout the years, and I am a living witness that there’s nothing too hard for God.

One of the greatest human beings I had the pleasure to know....all class. Happy Heavenly birthday, Alvin.

[Golden State Warriors @warriors]

Alvin Attles did not just epitomize what it meant to be a Warrior—he was Mr. Warrior.

On what would have been his 90th birthday, we remember one of the all-time great members of #DubNation

Tonight was the Warriors’ 611th consecutive home sellout — the fifth longest streak in NBA history.

Steph Curry also passed Oscar Robertson to move into 17th on the all-time scoring list.

A perfect summation of what the Valkyries' parade represented to the Bay Area on Wednesday by @annkillion. So much more than just a basketball team winning a championship.....

[Ann Killion @annkillion]

Valkyries parade wasn’t just about sports. It was a celebration of who we are. All of us https://t.co/WMSxVSTeM1 via @sfchronicle

[San Francisco Chronicle @sfchronicle]

The Golden State Valkyries made history with their Game 7 victory to claim the WNBA championship. Days later, they brought the celebration to San Francisco, where the city said some 400,000 fans turned out for a parade unlike any in Bay Area history. https://t.co/qP9Ney7GfF

Caitlin Clark on the Valkyries early championship aspirations:

“I remember their owner…he literally said on stage ‘We’re going to win a championship in 5 years or less’ and I was like I love that! And here we are, like two years later I’m like well ‘Do I love that?’ because I’m not playing but they are…” 😂💀

Valkyries fans, I need to see you at the Embarcadero this Wednesday, November 4!

We are celebrating our WNBA Champions with a parade starting at 12 pm at the Ferry Building. The Valks will head south along the waterfront, ending at Second and King Streets near Oracle Park.

The parade is free and open to everyone. Fans can line up along the route starting at 9am.

The Valkyries wanted a new route to celebrate their historic WNBA championship and the unprecedented fanbase that has sold out every home game the team has played in its two years. And we’re delivering.

City departments including @SFPD, @SFFDPIO, and @SFMTA_Muni have been working together to make this celebration a success. Plan ahead, take public transit like Muni, BART, or SF Bay Ferry and check https://t.co/3S1LFDrnns for transit updates and street closures.

See you Wednesday, San Francisco. Let’s go, Valkyries!

Yaxel Lendeborg scored 37 points to lead Golden State to victory, the most by a Warriors rookie in a game since Stephen Curry had 42 in 2010.

Lendeborg is averaging 22.3 PPG this season, he's the 3rd player in Warriors history to average 20 PPG over his first 7 career games, behind only Hall of Famers Wilt Chamberlain (37.4 in 1959-60) and Rick Barry (22.9 in 1965-66).

[Raymond Ridder @DoubleR_PR]

This is my argument for Draymond and his defense. He was terrific vs. Lakers on Friday. He guards everyone. 1's, 2's, 3's, 4's and 5's. I'd encourage people to watch him for a game and see the havoc he causes on the floor. He's still one of the elite defenders in our game.

[Luca Evans @bylucaevans]

Georges Niang is launching a very early campaign for Draymond Green as Defensive Player of the Year.

Noted how he’s gone from guarding 5s like Rudy Gobert, Walker Kessler to guarding Luka Doncic on perimeter last night.
