Back when in the 1980’s when I began basketball blogging for the edgy, ahead-of-it’s-time, but now-defunct, “TotallyRadicalSportingNews.net/blog/”, I was always looking for stories that would stand the test of time. Some, like my hard hitting exposé on Jheri Curls in baseball during the 80s, have been lost in the sands of time. Fortunately, I was able to unearth a more recent piece that has extreme levels of pertinence in today’s playoff climate.
I ardently crafted a homage to the fascinating Golden State Warriors triumph over the New Orleans Pelicans during the first round of the 2015 playoffs. In this piece, I reflected on an epic chapter in Warriors lore through the lens of a faithful Warriors fan’s family in East Oakland back in 2015.
