Long winded ass NBA history storytime.
I witnessed a dude going HAM years ago when the Warriors won a series against Denver. I THINK. I'm not sure. This was when curry was brand new I think. This man was going WILD shouting at every basket made. The bartender had to ask him to calm down. He responded "im sorry. We've just been waiting so long for the Warriors to finally get it together." The man was on the verge of tears.
....
New Warriors fans, and I reiterate, NEW fans, made in the past 7 years, are fukking insufferable.
I was at game 6. And this corny ass dad, Lakers fan, was trolling his son, Warriors fan. First quarter old man was annoying as shyt, wilding out on his son. Literally making goat sounds and waving his hands in his sons face. Laker fan in front of me asked him "hey man chill for a bit. "
When GSW tried to mount a Come back the son started chirping, same annoying ass shyt as his dad. Apple don't fall far from the tree. Or so I thought.
I see why his old man was going Ham. This kid was whining, pointing to the score when they were down 8. "no one can guard Steph, what do the Lakers have?! NOTHING." I didn't blame him for being cocky. Steph is a force. A double digit lead is never safe with him on the floor.
As the game went on they both stopped taking shyt. The son got quiet first. I gained a little respect for the dad because he kind of pointed out the Warriors were making their free throws. Steph hit a nice shot. Not trying to pile on to his sons misery. GSW wasn't looking good. Laker fans were supportive of the team but realistic, it can still collapse. Steph is dangerous and every Laker needs to keep the pressure on.
That kid was having NONE of it. NONE. Pouting, looking down at the floor. During the fourth quarter When DiVencenzo, or anyone not named Steph, made a shot he made the casual-watcher comment "why wasn't he making those earlier?!!?!" in the most dejected voice ever. Imagine the kid on the other side of the mic during a Call of Duty match. That was him in real life. Dad wasn't poking at him anymore. You know that hands off life lesson. This kid is gonna feel like shyt and laugh about it later.
Laker fans were just cheering, not in his face. Just being happy, a play went out way. It was good. Wasnt sealed but it was good basketball.
When Kerr waved the white flag, they left with the quickness. Dad who is a Laker fan just up and left. Unceremoniously, helped usher his kid out. I was giving daps to the fans around me. "they sat the starters?! That's it!"
The point of my story is, these NEW Warriors fans are fukking terrible. They don't recognize how much of a force Steph is because they expect it.
They don't like Bron because they don't understand what real opposition is. They never really saw the teams he lead. They just saw Bron lost, Curry wins.
They have videogame Steph, they had cheat-code KD added to their roster. The new fans don't know what the regular times were.
I'm not hating. It's a testament to the Warriors, they made a spoiled ass fan base because they were hitting so Hard.
But its funny seeing reality set in. They never saw another Superstar with an upstart team. They never experienced having all the names on paper, Klay, Steph, Daymond, Kerr, Poole all of that adding up and not working out. "there's no way old Bron, Day-to Davis and a bunch of no-names can beat us." when In reality they almost got tossed by a bunch of talented young cats in Sacramento in the first round. They never watched their franchise player airball 4 shots in the playoffs.
Again, this isn't hating. Steph and them made a spoiled fanbase be aude of how successful they were.
But to quote AD. "It aint no fun when the rabbit got the gun."
TL;DR
New Warriors fans never seen shyt but Curry and they bytching because they don't know what the NBA is like.
