I've seen a lot of hate thrown the way of the Warriors, but I don't care. The W's fan-base suffered for DECADES. Not a few seasons, not a decade, but for the majority of my 35 years of age.

In 2009, I was with my family, in Mark Twain's hometown, checking my phone before dinner to keep tabs on the draft. Somehow (thanks, David Kahn!) Steph Curry fell to the seventh spot. My dad and I talked about how this kid had some special potential. Little did we know.

In 2012, I was so pumped when we traded Monta Ellis (and pieces) for Andrew Bogut. I couldn't believe Lacob got booed because we were taking care of multiple weaknesses in one fell trade (and I've always had a soft spot for defensive anchors).

Smart drafting and the Andre signing led led to the first W's Championship of my lifetime and my Dad's watching history. That success, built on the draft and some incredible GMing, led to the now much maligned decision of KD to join the Warriors.

And now we've won it again. For all the haters, I don't care. I suffered through Chris Cohan for 15 years. The Warriors deserve this.

GO WARRIORS!!!

I was thinking this all half.


Outside of Lebron, the whole Cavs roster is trash. I'm including Kyrie, because as good as his numbers are and as incredible as some of his shots are, that dude is a low IQ, hero ball player that doesn't make his team better.

And man does Kevin Love stink. If he shows up in games 3 and 5 CLE is up 3-2 with a chance to clinch at home.

Makes you appreciate how good Lebron really is, but he should have never left Pat Riley.

I wouldn't say it "doesn't feel real", but there's just something so...FAKE about Durant being on Golden State. I've always felt that way. It's extremely uncanny, can't quite describe how it makes me feel.

This is not a hate comment by the way, Durant played great. Obviously a top player in the world. Earned the title, etc.


Lebron didn't join the Celtics, the team he couldn't beat. He formed his own team to beat them.

Durant joined the team he couldn't beat. Ruining the competition. What's the accomplishment in joining the guys who beat you?

lmao, just because the super team Lebron assembled fell short of the other super team, doesn't mean it wasn't just as gutless as GSW's is characterized to be.
For lease.

You know what I'm getting at and you continue to make excuses for loser LeBron, who only cares himself. Games are not won on a stat sheet, so retire that crap.

I don't do anything for Lebron, I'm not some Lebron super fan, I just have no clue what point you are trying to make or why you even think you're making a valuable point


Bronsexual, keep it moving.

This is baiting. People, don't respond to this post.

Like great Scottie Pippen once said:

Don't mean no thing without a ring



False. This is about individual achievement as compared with team achievement, which is what Pippen was referring to.

So? Same logic applies here. Without the title, those stats don't carry much weight

Get a clue.


Lebron is held to the highest standard of any athlete in history....in any sport for that matter....he'll get ragged on no matter what he does
