Early this season - the Warriors were still recovering - some key Warrior players - were on the injury list.
Klay Thompson recovering slowly - from multiple injuries - out for two years - keeping his eyes on the prize.
Steph Curry, as usual, was very optimistic that with God's help, all would be well.
Draymond Green and Steph Curry - each in their own way - are the glue of the Warrior's team. They do what they do best - keep the teams strong - peer support counts - and let the coach play second fiddle.
This is possible because Steve Kerr - himself was a player. Kerr losing his father in a tragedy - has enhanced his empathy - supporting those that most need help.
We were still dealing with the pandemic - some of us staying at home - rarely going out.
We tried to keep our sanity - keep a close watch on the Warriors - low in their winnings - then - slowly but steadily rising to the top - finally winning the NBA series.
It says a lot when the Warrior beat the Celtic in Boston - on the Boston's home ground - and then outsmarted the Celtics - on every level.
Adding the many virtual meetings - long drawn out meetings - too much talk and less meaningful action. We all hoped against hope - the dark cloud would pass away, and it did. Let good stuff happen!
The Golden State Warriors were getting ready for battle - Kevon Looney and Andrew Wiggins in the wings - practicing one-of-a-kind plays - that would bring in the basket full of joy.
Kudos to Andrew Wiggins for inspiring so many young people - you came in fresh and helped make it happen.
The last win in Boston, defeating the Celtics before yesterday's game, was one of the best games I have witnessed.
Steph Curry hitting the ring and making baskets.
Many of the throws - from every angle - and many from downtown. Steph Curry - earned the name Superman - even the commentators were at a loss for words.
The Golden State Warriors
These three young men, Jordon Poole, Kevon Looney, and Andrew Wiggins, are a blessing to us here in San Francisco - the new home of the Golden State Warriors.
At this time, I would be remiss not to thank the fans from Oakland who did so much for the Warriors - while they made their abode in Oakland - but for the Raiders too.
The Oakland, Raiders - the Warriors - one-two punch for so many years - while they were in Oakland.
We here in San Francisco enjoyed the many victories that the NFL Football 49ers showered on us - and, of course, the Giants - who won a couple of championship baseball games.
This Warrior NBA basketball victory is the icing on the cake.
We honor Andre Iguodala - he keeps it honest and unites the team.
Having a Brother like Andre Iguodala is always nice - he is brilliant, and his heart is in the right place.
He will take a Brother aside and give him the right advice - and players like him are a rare find - and in Andre Iguodala - the Warriors have a gem.
Graceful plays that bless us all.
Every game that Steph Curry plays is unique
From downtown, his three-pointers are so graceful
A quick move to the left - a stop - and the flick
the ball sails in the air - and into the ring - a three
Steph takes on any player - even the tall ones
He dribbles well - and his moves are unique
the tall ones bend - Steph moves around
looks at the ring - and lets the ball sail in
sometimes a two - but most of the time, a three
This win means a lot to us in San Francisco
103-90, winning the NBA finals
There will be a parade - and all that is good
We thank coach Steve Kerr - who has deep empathy
His impromptu speech on gun violence in Texas
sent a strong message to the nation
We thank the owners who pay, provide, and care -
brought about the Chase Center - amenities
the Golden State Warriors' victory - says more
to each of us is given the blessing to rejoice
it comes with sacrifice and practice
each one - uplift all so that as a team - bring joy to all
Every good action counts - spread the excellent waves
Far and wide - we are in this together
Kudos Golden State Warriors, and see you on the rebound.
