Both the Golden State Warriors are not “light-years” forward of the NBA as a complete, or among the Dubs’ opponents are additionally working on the pace of sunshine.
That appears to be the brand new line of reasoning from Golden State’s principal proprietor, Joe Lacob. The famously boisterous billionaire beforehand didn’t enable for the likelihood that different franchises may be on the identical stage as his personal. However after just a few down campaigns, and within the midst of a 9-1 begin to the 2021-22 season, Lacob feels like he is in a humbled, benevolent temper.
On a Wednesday radio look with “The Morning Roast,” Lacob proclaimed that different groups are certainly akin to the Warriors’ excellence, which is good of him to say.
“Clearly, there are about seven groups within the NBA — I’m not going to call them at the moment — however that I believe are actually well-run, and we actually all as a company respect throughout the board,” he mentioned.
By no means one to carry again, he in fact went forward and named a few of these groups: the San Antonio Spurs (whom Dubs coach Steve Kerr has mentioned he’d wish to emulate), the Miami Warmth and the Boston Celtics. Positive, is sensible.
Who’re the remaining 4? Usually I might say we’ll by no means know, however with Lacob, likelihood is he’ll give a full breakdown the following time he grants an interview.
