Yeah, let’s talk about the Golden Warriors… Golden State that is. San Francisco actually sounds better, no? The Warriors captured their 7th NBA title beating the Celtics in 6 games; damn. Now Otto Porter Jr gets a ring? Now we have to listen to where Curry ranks in the greatest of all time players? Now the Bulls slide down to 4th all time in NBA history with those 6 rings that MJ brought us? Now we need to see Draymond run his big mouth? Yeah, all stuff to be categorized in the I don’t give a shit section, but we’re catching up, so let’s talk about it.
Maybe I should have made this a Hate File? They have one already actually, but I’ve done multiple Hate Files on individuals and teams, so… Let’s file that away for a later date, maybe. I actually watched most of Game 6 with my father and brother. Yeah, we took him out for Father’s Day that night. We stopped at a cigar lounge before the game, and smoked some flavor cognac infused stogies; good stuff. We then headed to a bar to get some grub. I had this $10 restaurant dot com certificate from 6 years ago that I had never used; finally used that bad boy. Wings, beers, and BSing was great; burgers and the result of the game, not so much. It was kind of a split crowd in there; I even found myself cheering for the Celtics, and jeering against the Warriors. What the hell do I really care? Sure, so the Celtics can win their umpteenth title… lesser of two evils man, that’s how I roll at times. Tatum pretty much choked in that game, let’s be honest. I’m sure that won’t effect his career at making Subway commercials, as long as he doesn’t pull some shit like Jared…
Yeah, seeing bum ass Porter get a ring was one reason to root against them. Remember, on the Bulls, by day, he was on the injured list, by night, he was in the club; BS man. Curry though… man, tough to argue that dude’s worth. I’m not going to put him in the top X or whatever, overall, but I will go there with him as a shooter. Sure, there’s Larry Bird who did a lot of things well, including shooting; will never rank Curry ahead of him. But who else? As far as pure shooters go, not taking into account any other parts of their games, maybe Ray Allen? Curry is legit, OK. I had him coming off the bench for my all-time NBA team, so… I was already there. But yeah, respect due, no doubt. Other than the fact that they passed the Bulls on the all-time title list, I wouldn’t be so pissed. Sure, Draymond gets to run his mouth; he’ll be on one of those sports argument shows eventually… the ones I never watch. So, he won’t bother me too much, other than the stuff that makes it across my timeline. But whatever with him…
I am happy for Steve Kerr, and I do love the comment he said. It went something like this: he respects both MJ and LeBron… they were responsible for 3 of his rings each… got to love it. You go Stevie boy… Congrats!
