One thing I’ll give the Golden State Warriors. Their success wasn’t the singularly joyless experience the Lakers doing well is. It seems no one really enjoys it. Not the rest of the league, not the LA fans (not really, they feel entitled to titles), not the Laker players, no one.
Honestly, for all the complaining one hears about Knicks fans, what have the Knicks or their fans ever really done to anyone in the last two decades? Mostly they suffer. Suffer loudly, extravagantly, and somewhat conceitedly, I’ll grant, but suffer nonetheless. When they do well, they’re so happy (except for that one asshole who allegedly spit on Trae Young).
