You don’t need to have been a Golden State Warriors fan for very long to know that owner Joe Lacob is a man who is lacking in neither confidence nor bold proclamations. So it probably shouldn’t be a surprise that he promised some lofty achievements on Thursday, when it was officially announced that a WNBA expansion team under the Warriors leadership would be joining the league in 2025.
Operating with his signature brand of billionaire confidence, Lacob proudly guaranteed that the as-yet-unnamed franchise will win a WNBA championship within its first five seasons.
