The NBA never ends. Exactly one week after the Warriors' 2018-19 season came to an end, they'll be on the clock for the 2019 NBA Draft. 

Golden State owns the No. 28 pick in the draft this year. If the prospect they select is in the building at the Barclays Center in New York on June 20, he'll have the honor of hearing his name called beforing stepping on the stage and shaking hands with commissioner Adam Silver. 

And he'll get to wear this hat.

The 2019 NBA Draft hats are inspired by varsity jackets of the past. This blue Warriors hat features a felt Warriors patch on the front and a pin of the team's logo on the front panel. 

Looking at the side of the hat, you'll notice custom details. Those include the team's established date of 1946, their location -- Golden State's says Bay Area, California -- and the Warriors' "Strength in Numbers" slogan.

The Warriors own the No. 28 pick in the draft this year. Mock draft's have the Dubs looking for a wing player, including Stanford's KZ Okpala. Golden State also owns the No. 58 overall selection. 

Last year, the Warriors also owned the No. 28 pick in the draft. They selected shooting guard Jacob Evans III out of Cincinnati. He appeared in 30 games, averaging 1.3 points per game as a rookie.

Warriors big man Kevon Looney truly is going to start shooting 3-pointers this season.

No seriously, you gotta believe us this time.

Why? Well, because the 23-year-old himself told Anthony Slater of The Athletic that's the plan.

"The makeup of our team this year is going to call for me to shoot more 3s," Looney said. "I think last year, you know, we got KD, Steph, Draymond, Klay, you got four guys out there (as) capable shooters, you kind of need the big to be able to roll and finish. That’s kind of been my role.

"I expanded the mid-range jump shot, just to open the game up, make it easier for Steph, so he has some outlets. But I’ve really been working on the 3.

"Steve (Kerr) gave me the green light. Well, he gave me the green light before, but this one, it feels a little different. Like, even if you miss, I want you to keep shooting because we need you to make that shot."

Let's take a walk back in time to late December 2018 when Golden State's coach told Damon Bruce of 95.7 The Game:

"He's got a lot more game than people know of, and we see it in practice. Kevon is such a conscientious player that he's normally deferring to the stars. But we're gonna ask him to do more. We think he can make 3s.

"He took a corner 3 last night that didn't go in, but it was a good shot and one he made in practice. I think if he continues to play and gain confidence, I think you're gonna see Kevon starting to show more offense."

And show more on offense he did.

How about this one? Looney saw that nothing was really happening, so he took matters into his own hands (and made both free throws) pic.twitter.com/2sx6dWNOeK

But Looney did not end up attempting more shots from beyond the arc. He went 1-for-10 from 3-point range last year and is just 5-for-26 from deep since entering the NBA.

He will embark on the next phase of his career with a new mindset.

"I’ve always been confident in my shooting, being able to shoot the 3," Looney told Slater. "But as a young guy on a championship team, you’re always looking over your shoulder, like, you don’t want to get subbed out. I always had that in the back of my head.

"This year, I’m a lot more confident."

Who is the G.O.A.T?

When it comes to the game of basketball, the debate will never cease. You'll either say Michael Jordan or LeBron James. Now that they both star in "Space Jam" movies, you can't use that as a tie-breaker anymore.

We digress ... 

Bleacher Report did a recent ranking of the greatest basketball players of all-time and if Andy Bailey was sitting around the table having this discussion, he would choose M.J. gets the highest honor with King James right behind him. 

With that, Warriors All-Star guard Steph Curry made the list ... at the No. 10 spot.

Bailey wrote Curry is arguably the best point guard in NBA history. 

Steve Kerr has said it all about Steph saying he is like Steve Nash on steroids. And the NBA legend Nash himself said Curry "maybe as skilled a player as we've ever had in this game." 

Bailey not only agreed with the statements but compared the two.

"His point guard figuratively changes the geometry of the floor," Bailey writes. "He commands double-teams 35 feet from the rim, allowing his teammates to play 4-on-3 on countless possessions over the years."

"This is the evolution of Nash: a prolific shooter who's unleashed to launch as many threes as he can. Along with Michael Jordan, Dirk Nowitzki and a handful of others, Curry is among those exceptionally rare players who truly changed basketball."

"Changed. Basketball."

Couldn't have said it better ourselves.

Across his 10-year career, Steph averages 23.5 points, 6.6 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game.

His list of accomplishments include six All-Star selections, two MVP honors and a few NBA championship rings thrown in there. 

Curry may not be dubbed the G.O.A.T in this scenario, but there are plenty of fans out there who can make a case for him.
