‘I want to kill them’: Warriors owner Joe Lacob reflects on time with Celtics, shares competitive desire ahead of NBA Finals

Joe Lacob’s seen his Warriors squad reach the NBA Finals six times since he became their owner in 2010. The 2022 NBA Finals will have a different meaning for him, though.

The Warriors’ majority owner will see his squad go up against the Celtics, a team he held a minority stake in for four years before he bought the Warriors. Lacob, who is a native of New Bedford, became a part-owner of the Celtics in January 2006 when he became a co-investor with H. Irving Grousbeck, working with Wyc Grousbeck and Steve Pagliuca during his time in Boston.
