Joe Lacob and Peter Guber agreed to buy the Warriors from Chris Cohan on July 15, 2010. They shocked the world because it was assumed that Oracle co-founder, Larry Ellison, would gain control of the team.
Since we are exactly 10 years removed from the franchise-altering event, it's a good time to remind everybody how Lacob and Guber pulled it off.
To do so, we turn to a comment the late former NBA commissioner David Stern made in the summer of 2018.
“Larry could’ve made the purchase, but he didn’t," Stern told Ethan Strauss of The Athletic.
