    Yup. People can hate Joey “light years” for his comments all they want but all he has done is privately financed an arena and spent shitloads of money on the team.

    Every other fan base should kill to have an owner with that mentality

      They won 4 of the last 10 championships and made 6 finals appearances. The results speak for themselves really

        They did move the team to San Francisco from Oakland, but they still invested in the team while they were still playing in Oakland. Great way to keep most of the fans who have supported the Oakland based team for decades prior

          the move was just a technicality, they moved like to a location that’s like 10 minutes away from the previous lol

          I mean that’s basically still in Oakland? Any fans who used to watch the games just have a slightly longer drive?

          It’s nothing compared to moving from Seattle to Oklahoma.

            Yeah I’ll continue to say that there’s not one Dubs fan I know who stopped supporting them when they moved across the bay. For sure there were some ruffled feathers, but it’s really not as big of a deal as some try to push.

            The diehards have been priced out of Chase, but that was already happening for the last years at Oracle.

              By the time KD joined the crowd had gone super corporate and the atmosphere wasn’t as electric as 2012-2016 when they started making the playoffs.

              Same reason why the king’s were a fun watch this past season

            The locations of the stadiums are completely different lol. Imagine telling someone from St. Paul that Minneapolis is basically the same, it’s just a slightly longer drive.
