Marcus Thompson II is a lead columnist at The Athletic, covering the Golden State Warriors, San Francisco 49ers and Giants, and the Oakland Raiders and A's. He was previously a sportswriter at the San Jose Mercury News and covered the Warriors exclusively as a beat writer for ten seasons. He lives with his wife, Dawn, and daughter, Sharon, in Oakland, California. He is the author of the national bestseller Golden: The Miraculous Rise of Steph Curry and KD: Kevin Durant's Relentless Pursuit to Be the Greatest.
Marcus Thompson flat out gets basketball and how to write beautifully about it. With Golden, he tells Steph Curry's story with insights you won't find anywhere else. He takes you behind the scenes of massive playoff games and deep into the formative moments of Curry's past. Steph has been the focus of so much media attention that one might assume there's nothing new to know. They would be quite wrong, as Marcus has unearthed a rich trove that cameras either missed or were never privy to. If you love the NBA, you'll love this book. --ESPN writer Ethan Sherwood Strauss
