Golden State Warriors fans are notoriously vociferous in their loyalty to their beloved team, especially to the players who were around when the team was making the transition from “giant dumpster fire” to “believing in themselves thanks to Pastor Mark Jackson”.
For example: when fan favorite Monta Ellis was traded despite never making an All-Star game and generally being a poor fit next to Stephen Curry (as he predicted), furious Warriors fans booed the hell out of new owner Joe Lacob. In hindsight, trading Ellis was one of the key steps out of the dumpster fire.
