James Shields grew up a Sacramento Kings fan during the team's glory days with Chris Webber, Mike Bibby, and Jason Williams. But for the last five years, he's lived in Oakland during the Golden State Warriors' dynastic championship runs.
"My personal philosophy is that you have the team where you grew up, and you have the team where you currently live, if you so choose," Shields said.
Shields has also had a run of success while in Oakland. He's painted murals in the Lower Bottoms, where he lives, near Jack London Square, and in South Berkeley.
