Dub Nation, listen closely.
Days after signing a two-year, $48.5 million contract to return to the Warriors after a months-long standoff, forward Jonathan Kuminga addressed the fans that question his commitment to Golden State.
And, perhaps to no surprise, Kuminga made sure to draw a distinction between keyboard warriors and actual Warriors fans.
“I feel like a lot of the fans get in their feelings so much,” Kuminga told reporters on Thursday. “And it’s mostly not the ones that are actually at the game.”
“It’s the one that is on Twitter, on TikTok, on social media. The ones that actually come here every other day and support us, they are the real MVPs.”
After a drama-riddled offseason, Kuminga, sporting a new jersey number, returned to Golden State practice ahead of the 2025-26 NBA season.
The 22-year-old swingman, who became a restricted free agent at the conclusion of the 2024-25 NBA season, will collect a check from Golden State for at least one season.
It is then that Kuminga looks to demonstrate how committed he is to the franchise and Dub Nation.
“But the ones that are home every day just don’t know what’s going on; they don’t even read what’s happening and just go out there and say whatever,” Kuminga added.
“That’s what they love to do. I don’t have a problem with that, but the real me, the people I talk to, the front office, and my coaches, they know what’s happening, and they know how committed I am to this team and what I want to accomplish. I think that’s all that matters to me.”
