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 19th of 19 players who wore the No. 34 jersey for the Warriors.

That player would be Golden State guard alum Shaun Livingston. After ending his high school career, Livingston was picked up with the fourth overall selection of the 2004 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Peoria, Illinois native played the first three seasons of his pro career with the Clips. He also played for the Miami Heat, Oklahoma City Thunder, Washington Wizards, Charlotte Hornets, Milwaukee Bucks, Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Brooklyn Nets before he signed with the Dubs in 2014 for the last five seasons of his career, where he won three titles.

During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Livingston wore only jersey No. 34 and put up 5.4 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game.

The Brooklyn Nets have 52 jersey numbers worn by over 600 different players over the course of their history since the franchise was founded in 1967 as a charter member of the American Basketball Association (ABA), when the team was known as the “New Jersey Americans”.

Since then, that league has been absorbed by the NBA with the team that would later become the New York Nets and New Jersey Nets before settling on the name by which they are known today, bringing their rich player and jersey history with them to the league of today.

To commemorate the players who played for the Nets over the decades wearing those 52 different jersey numbers, Nets Wire is covering the entire history of the franchise’s jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team.

And for today’s article, we will continue with the 15th of 15 people to wear the No. 34 jersey, big man alum Wenyen Gabriel. After ending his college career at Kentucky, Gabriel went unselected in the 2018 NBA Draft, instead signing with the Sacramento Kings.

The Khartoum, Sudan native played the first 11 games of his pro career with the Kings. He also played for the Portland Trail Blazers and New Orleans Pelicans before he signed with Brooklyn in 2021. His stay with the team lasted until he signed with the Los Angeles Clippers later that year.

During his time suiting up for the Nets, Gabriel wore only jersey No. 34 and put up 1.0 rebounds per game.

New AEW TBS Champion Willow Nightingale is reportedly among the many AEW talent set to attend NJPW’s Wrestle Kingdom 20 at the Tokyo Dome on Sunday. According to PWInsider Elite, Nightingale, who defeated Mercedes Mone to become a two-time TBS Champion on “AEW Dynamite: New Year’s Smash,” is expected to be in attendance at the show.

According to the outlet, there is currently no word if Nightingale is going to appear on the show in official capacity, or if she is just there to witness the final match of NJPW President Hiroshi Tanahashi’s career against arguably his biggest rival in AEW’s Kazuchika Okada. NJPW revealed on its official website that both Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay, who has been off AEW television due to neck surgery, will also be in attendance.

In addition to “The Ace’s” final bout against “The Rainmaker,” which will main event the show, Wrestle Kingdom will also feature a Winner Takes All double title match between Konosuke Takeshita, IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, and Yota Tsuji, IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion. Saya Kamitani and Syuri will also face off in another Winner Takes All match for the IWGP Women’s Championship and the Strong Women’s title. Aaron Wolf, former Olympic judoka gold medalist, will make his professional wrestling debut at the event, as well.

Wrestle Kingdom 20 is set to be NJPW’s biggest event in quite some time, as the promotion has struggled with attendance numbers post-pandemic. Dave Meltzer confirmed the show is set to be the biggest event in the Tokyo Dome in nearly 25 years. On December 12, Fightful reported the event is officially sold out.

This is the first part of a two-part series, reviewing Willie Ramirez’s Top 5 women’s sports stories he wrote in 2025 and the Top 5 women’s sports storylines he’s looking forward to in 2026.

Here are Willie’s Top 5 favorite stories he wrote in 2025:

5. Five newcomers each played pivotal roles throughout Aces championship run Covering the Aces all season, Willie captured the highs and lows, from their 14-14 start, a record-breaking loss and the run to another championship. And as much as he wrote about A’ja Wilson’s historic season, he also featured many of the key pieces surrounding the team. His championship recap gave credit to the new faces who played a pivotal role in the team’s incredible run.

4. L.A. native Noelle Quinn is building her own culture in the WNBA Former Seattle Storm coach Noelle Quinn is a Los Angeles native who was legendary in the area at both Torrance High School and UCLA. Though Quinn and the Storm parted ways after the 2025 season, she’s built a reputation and respect across the league that should find her back on the sidelines in the future. Quinn is currently in Miami as one of the coaches at Unrivaled.

3. Kelsey Plum ready to spark another rebuild back home When the Los Angeles Sparks played in Las Vegas for the first time during the 2025 campaign, it meant the return of fan favorite Kelsey Plum. The beloved spark plug left after the 2024 season, opting into free agency and chose to return home, to Southern California, where she wanted to help rejuvenate one of the most storied franchises in the WNBA. Willie was the first member of the Southern Nevada media Kelsey granted a 1-on-1 with since becoming a Spark.

2. Aces find peace and solace by attending chapel pregame For some of the Aces’ pregame routine, it meant spending time in chapel with pastor Heiden Ratner. It was a moment to gather their thoughts and bring themselves to a calm they needed before putting their game faces on. Willie spoke to several of the players about their walk with faith and what it meant to their mental health and overall well-being.

1. Kiki Rice is the heart and soul of UCLA women’s basketball: When she was a freshman, UCLA star Kiki Rice sat down with Willie for a 1-on-1 for The Sporting Tribune during the Pac-12 Tournament. It was then she revealed she chose to play for the Bruins because she wanted to help bring UCLA its first national championship. With help from her, the Bruins have gotten closer each season she’s been there. In November, Willie reunited with Kiki, now a senior, for another 1-on-1, as the Bruins look to return to the National Semifinals.

We’re only two days into the new year, and the opening of the transfer portal has brought a flood of news about Texas A&M’s future visitors, including two standout defensive veterans who, if they choose to transfer to College Station, would immediately help the Aggies in 2026.

First, Penn State freshman defensive tackle Xavier Gilliam, who was credited with 16 tackles, half a sack, and a forced fumble, finished his first season with a 61.3 defensive grade and a prolific 85.1 coverage grade, per Pro Football Focus. Standing at 6’2″ and over 300 pounds, Gilliam is the 31st-ranked player in the transfer portal rankings and would likely replace Texas A&M DL Tyler Odyedim, who is headed to the NFL Draft.

Gilliam’s visit day is unknown, as he will also visit Indiana and Notre Dame, likely over the next two weeks. Next week, former Nevada Edge Jonathan Maldonado will visit the Aggies next Monday and Tuesday, and if head coach Mike Elko and his staff are smart, signing Maldonado needs to be next week’s main priority. Entering his senior season, Maldonado recorded 38 tackles, five sacks, and four pass deflections, and finished with an elite 85.8 pass rush grade (PFF).

Needing to add three to four defensive linemen from the portal, Maldonado would become an immediate replacement for Cashius Howell, providing even more length and bend off the edge. At the same time, Atkins, who is just scratching the surface of his potential, possesses all the attributes to make an impact in the 2026 rotation.

Alabama football is battling to win former Auburn wide receiver Cam Coleman.

According to a report by On3‘s Steve Wiltfong, the Crimson Tide is one of five programs that is “strongly in the mix” for the 5-star transfer prospect.

Since Coleman entered the portal on Dec. 29, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and USC have also emerged as contenders, per Wiltfong.

Coleman is a native of Phenix City, Alabama, and opted to stay in his home state in December of 2023 after initially having committed to Jimbo Fisher and Texas A&M in July that same year.

Wiltfong reported that Coleman is currently in Austin being courted by the Longhorns, who have “high” confidence that they can secure the rising junior, and will potentially visit College Station after his visit at Texas. ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported that Coleman is planning to take trips to Texas Tech, USC and Alabama following his visits to Texas and Texas A&M.

Texas Tech is another team to keep an eye on due to what Wiltfong described as a “significant NIL offer.”

Wiltfong did not provide additional information on where Alabama or USC stood among the schools vying to bring Coleman to the Lone Star State. However, Crimson Tide defensive back Red Morgan − Coleman’s former high school teammate at Central Phenix City − said ahead of the Rose Bowl that he has been texting Coleman “every day,” and that he plans to do so until “he (Coleman) makes a decision.”

Coleman and Morgan won a Class 7A state championship at Central in 2023 and played football together from the time they were seventh graders competing in youth leagues.

Coleman is the No. 1 player in On3’s transfer portal rankings after tallying 1,215 yards on 84 receptions over the last two seasons on The Plains. In the 27-20 loss to Alabama in November, Coleman had four catches for 26 yards and no touchdowns.
