Golden State Warriors jersey history - No. 14 - Jackie Moore (1955-57)
Golden State Warriors jersey history - No. 14 - Jackie Moore (1955-57) The Golden State Warriors have had over 600 players don the more than 60 jersey numbers used by their players over the more than 75 years of existence the team has enjoyed in its rich and storied history. Founded in 1946 during the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- a precursor league of the NBA) era, the team has called home the cities of Philadelphia, San Francisco, Oakland, and even San Diego. To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Warriors Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. For this article, we begin with the 10th of 13 players who wore the No. 14 jersey for the Warriors. That player would be Golden State forward alum Jackie Moore. After ending his college career at La Salle, Moore signed with the (then) Syracuse Nationals (now, Philadelphia 76ers) in 1954, who in turn dealt him to (then) Milwaukee (now, Atlanta) Hawks weeks later. The Philadelphia, Pennsylvania native signed with the (then) Philadelphia (now, Golden State) Warriors in 1955 for his final two seasons in the NBA. During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Moore wore only jersey Nos. 14 and 4 and put up 2.7 points and 2.5 rebounds per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.

LeBron James: 2020 NBA Playoffs were the 'purest form of hoops'
LeBron James: 2020 NBA Playoffs were the 'purest form of hoops' The Los Angeles Lakers' 2020 NBA championship has been derided by many people as not a legitimate championship because of the fact that it was won inside of the Walt Disney World Resort bubble during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to critics and cynics, since there were no fans and no travel, it cannot count as a legitimate championship. However, that postseason was a big challenge in other ways, mainly because of the stringent safety restrictions that were imposed on everyone who participated. It amounted to up to three months of full and total focus on playoff basketball. LeBron James, who won his fourth ring that year, expanded on the type of focus that was required during that time during a recent episode of his "Mind the Game" podcast. "I agree with what a lot of people say that it's the purest form of hoops," James said. "It was strictly basketball. We all have the ability to do whatever we want in life. We've made a bunch of money, we have all the access. That's gone in the bubble. You can't just say, 'oh, I'm about to go to a restaurant or I'm about to do this.' You can't do none of that. Everything in the bubble was strictly about basketball. And obviously we were there talking about a lot of off-the-court things that were going on, the social injustice and police brutality and all that stuff, rightfully so. But when the basketball portion was the focus, that's all it was. Of all my championships I've won, that level of focus, how long can you maintain your focus in order to get the job done? Because you have all the reasons if you want to get out of focus because you're so accustomed to a certain lifestyle that you're like, 'to hell with this, I don't wanna do this, why am I here? I don't want to be a part of this, I can't get a certain meal, I can't do this, I can't see my family, I can't lock in…' And you can very easily get out of why you're there." The 2019-20 season was initially suspended in March once the pandemic started to hit critical mass. When the bubble was announced, many were skeptical that it would work and that the coronavirus would be prevented from spreading inside of it. But thanks to those stringent restrictions, which included restrictions on family members getting it, it was a huge success. In particular, it was a huge success for the Lakers, who continued to prove they were the best team in basketball that year by bringing home the world championship.

NBA Finals Latest Odds Entering Game 3: Series Winner, MVP, Series Leaders
After two games of the NBA Finals, regular season MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is well on his way to winning Finals MVP while leading the series in scoring. After two games of the NBA Finals, regular season MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is well on his way to winning Finals MVP while leading the series in scoring. Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. As far as oddsmakers were concerned, there were three sure things going into the 2025 NBA Finals between the Pacers and the Thunder: 1) The Thunder had the upper hand (to say the least) 2) It was going to take something shocking for anyone besides Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to win Finals MVP 3) SGA was also going to lead this series in scoring As expected, the Thunder are in firm control of this series at it heads to Indianapolis for Games 3 and 4. And barring injury, Gilgeous-Alexander -- who has already scored 72 points in this series -- is going to comfortably lead the Finals in scoring. In fact, SGA's odds to win Finals MVP and score the most points in the series are no longer available at a number of sportsbooks. NBA Finals Winner Odds (as of June 10) The Pacers' Game 1 comeback showed they're no pushover. Still, the top sportsbooks all see Indiana as major underdogs as the series shifts to Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indy for Games 3 and 4. DraftKings FanDuel bet365 Thunder -525 -550 -550 Pacers +400 +410 +400 NBA Finals Series Leader Odds (as of June 10) NBA Finals Series Made Threes Leader Odds, Analysis, Pick Player (3-pt shooting through Game 2) DraftKings FanDuel bet365 Aaron Nesmith (7-of-15) +135 +105 +120 Lugentz Dort (6-of-12) +180 +240 +220 Tyrese Haliburton (5-of-15) +210 +310 +275 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (4-of-10) +2000 +1800 +1800 Each of the four players listed above has a compelling case after two games. Nesmith, the current favorite, has been red-hot from deep throughout the playoffs. He's shooting 49.5 percent from 3 this postseason, including just under 47 percent vs. the Thunder on plenty of volume (7 3PA in Game 1, 8 3PA in Game 2). The balance of the Thunder, plus Dort's own inconsistency from outside, makes him a wild card. In 18 playoff games this year, he's drained at least four threes five times, but he's also had seven games where he made one 3-pointer or fewer. Haliburton's high usage rate makes him a good bet to get plenty of looks. But against a Thunder team that has held him to just 9-for-26 shooting (34.6 percent) from deep in four matchups this year, he doesn't offer a ton of value at his current odds. Best bet: Nesmith (+135 at DraftKings) NBA Finals Series Assists Leader Odds, Analysis, Pick Player (assists through Game 2) DK FD bet365 Tyrese Haliburton (12) -200 -170 -200 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (11) +155 +125 +160 Jalen Williams (11) +2000 +1300 +1600 Andrew Nembhard (10) +5000 +3200 +3300 There's no denying Haliburton's ceiling as a passer, but he's hardly carved up the Thunder in any of the four games he's played against them this year. Since dishing out eight assists the first time these teams met back in December, Haliburton has recorded 3, 6 and 6 assists in the most recent IND vs. OKC matchups. Before we go any further, consider Haliburton and SGA's head-to-head assists-per-game numbers in 2024-25, including both the regular season and the Finals: Haliburton apg vs. OKC: 5.5 in reg. season; 6.0 in Finals; 5.75 apg overall Gilgeous-Alexander apg vs. IND: 8.0 in reg. season; 5.5 in Finals; 6.75 apg overall With that in mind, SGA strikes us as the best bet here, though he's much less tempting at the current best price of +160 at bet365 than he was when we recommended him at +500 at DK prior to Game 1. OKC's star point guard finished Game 1 with just three assists as the Pacers made him into a shoot-first player in the series opener (he tied his playoff-high with 30 field-goal attempts), but he was back to facilitating in Game 2, with 8 assists and 21 FGA. Another reason to like SGA is his consistency. He has had at least eight assists in five of OKC's last seven games dating back to the Western Conference Finals vs. Minnesota. He has also had at least six dimes in 14 of 18 playoff games this year. Unless Haliburton explodes for a couple monster assist nights in this series (which we certainly shouldn't rule out), I like SGA's consistency to allow him to win this battle. Best bet: Gilgeous-Alexander (+160 at bet365) NBA Finals Series Rebounds Leader Odds, Analysis, Pick Player (rebounds through Game 2) DK FD bet365 Isaiah Hartenstein (17) +140 +140 +150 Pascal Siakam (17) +145 +145 +150 Chet Holmgren (12) +225 +390 +350 Aaron Nesmith (16) +2000 +1300 +1200 There's another intriguing battle unfolding on the glass. Chet Holmgren, Isaiah Hartenstein and Pascal Siakam all have a real chance to lead the series in rebounding. Hartenstein has been coming off the bench in this series. But that hasn't stopped him from putting together by far the best per-minute rebounding numbers of any player in this series. After grabbing nine boards in just 17 minutes in Game 1, he pulled down eight more in 22 minutes in Game 2. As long as you trust Hartenstein to hold up well enough defensively against the Pacers to consistently log 25 minutes or so per game, he's a great bet to lead the series in rebounds. And after posting a plus/minus of +2 in 17 minutes in Game 1 and +17 in 22 minutes in Game 2, it's hard to imagine him falling out of the rotation any time soon. Holmgren bounced back from an awful night offensively in Game 1 with 15 points on 6-for-11 FG shooting in 28 minutes, but he grabbed just six rebounds apiece in Games 1 and 2. Barring Indiana's spread attack rendering Hartenstein unplayable for OKC, I like him to out-rebound both Siakam (6.5 rebounds per 36 minutes in the playoffs) and Holmgren (10.2 rebounds per 36 minutes in the playoffs) the rest of the way. Hartenstein's per-36 rebounding numbers have been incredible all season, and although we're working with a small NBA Finals sample size, it's worth noting that he's been an even more effective rebounder in this series: Hartenstein reb/36 (regular season): 13.8 Hartenstein reb/36 (playoffs): 12.2 Hartenstein reb/36 (NBA Finals): 15.7 Best bet: Hartenstein (+150 at bet365) Newsweek may earn an affiliate commission if you sign up through the links in this article.
