Throw in the fact they play a fun and entertaining style, and it's hard not to root for the W's!
I've been following the Warriors since 1968. I remember when I was 12, my stepmother was returning from Phoenix and the Warriors were on her flight. They all came off, Beard, Smith, Wilkes, Ray, Johnson & Johnson, Dickey, Mullins...and of course, Rick Barry. He had on a knee length rabbit coat (love the '70s), so he was stylin. Six assists, six rebounds, three steals and 30.6 points per game. I used to turn a friend of mine apoplectic when I claimed Barry was better than Larry Bird (he wasn't, but I liked to watch my friend's face go purple).
But these Warriors...they are sublime, something to behold. In some undefinable way, I think they will be regarded like Jordan's Bulls or Bird's Celtics when it's all said and done. They have a lot of great elements, but most importantly, they have an incredible front office, who works wonders with personnel, and a rookie coach who just won 67 games (yes, with much help from Gentry and Adams and the other three). What if, next year, the Warriors manage to replace Lee and perhaps Bogut with a world class center who wants to be here? Could you imagine, say, Marc Gasol or Roy Hibbert or DeAndre Jordan or Brook Lopez or Tyson Chandler or on the Warriors?
