Is it okay to like Steph Curry now ?

[foucault87]

I was a huge fan of the Warriors in the Baron Davis and Monta days. They were my 3rd team then (after Cle and the Brandon Roy Blazers). I honestly liked them even til 2016. Having a great rival is what makes narratives so interesting. They even had great characters like Draymond who was a damn good player but damn is he annoying.

Then Durant messed it all up. I blame KD.

Mike Sanders started for the Cavaliers as Lenny would bring Hot Rod off the bench. Dell wasn’t quite the shooter that he became later on, so I get why Embry protected Sanders. I didn’t like the move at the time but had no idea Curry would become the weapon he was in Charlotte (he was the Hornets’ first pick in the expansion draft).

Only memorable Mike Sanders moment for me was when Arsenio Hall (who Joe Tait had on one night’s broadcast) confused Sanders with Hot Rod. Joe brought it up and Arsenio said “they all look alike to me” and followed that up with “I can say that, you can’t.“ Arsenio also said he wanted to be Joe Tait (I.e. Cavs radio guy) to which Tait replied “You want to be fat, white and fifty?”

Hell yeah.

The thing I like most about him is that his game translates across generations.

If he played in the 80s or 90s, he’d have scored 50 a game.

Fuck him!!! Fuck his momma, his dimwitted wife, his butt-buddy Draymond Green, the owner Joe Lacob. The entire Golden State Warriors organization, the Bay area, and the whole entire crew, including their bandwagon fans. Fuck them all, except Steve Kerr, his cool and gets a pass.

Why don’t you tell us how you really feel about them

You and the rest of the RCF lifers know how difficult the Golden State relationship is for me. I was one more LeBron-led Cavs vs. Durant-led Warriors season away from a therapist.

I had two favorite teams, and I could always count on them to be poorly run and mediocre.

Then they both became the best teams in pro sports AT THE SAME TIME. It was total bullshit for me on a personal level.

Even after the 2015 Cavs lost, the Warriors were still my second favorite team in the NBA. I cared about that Mark Jackson led Warriors group and followed them as closely as my Cavs.

But then... after all the back and forth, the hatred festered and grew. Their fanbase became the tipping point.

I'm not back from it yet. I still spite-follow the Warriors, and I'm not proud of it. My feelings towards them are very similar to the feelings I had to a certain John Carroll University cheerleader I was boning for about a year who dumped me. Just sad to watch, really.

Oh, Draymond... what can I say - if he is on your team, you love him. If he's not, what an asshat. Basically, he is small forward Delly.

I know you said a bunch of thoughtful stuff in your post but

YOU SPENT A YEAR BONING A CHEERLEADER? AT A CATHOLIC SCHOOL? DID YOU HAVE HER KEEP THE SKIRT ON WHEN YOU BONED (SANS SKIVVIES, OF COURSE)?

I know I've gone off on this before... but Dell Curry was drafted by the Cavs just outside of the lottery. Steph was born in Akron for this reason. But then Embry made the idiotic decision to protect Mike Sanders in the expansion draft instead of Curry.

This is like letting a legit starting two guard go after his rookie season in order to protect a veteran Ira Newble or older Taurean Prince. It's inexcusable.

And it's why Steph didn't care about the Cavs to the degree Nance cares about the franchise.

Infuriating.

This of course led to the Ron Harper/Ferry deal as the Cavs could never find a SF to pair with Hot Rod/Nance/Brad. All the what ifs: imagine this starting lineup Price/Harper/Dell/Nance/Brad with Ehlo/Hot Rod off the bench. Would have been a hell of a team

I decided, if I were to go to a small Catholic university where everyone knew each other's business, I would try to start my dorm resume with a solid ten out of ten. It took a while, but I made it happen.

If I went to a bigger school, I would have a very different game plan. But I will say this... It worked out well. So well.

Being a grown ass man who has a wife and kids, I will leave it at that.

I have a buddy who is also happily married, but was also something of a legend in his time. There is a wedding he went to, where he had banged 4 of the 6 bridesmaids (not at the same time), earning him the moniker “Mr. 66%”. In his current happily-married state, he says that that the movies that play on the back of his eyelids, when he closes his eyes, give him sustenance.

What a coincidence.

I have a long established reputation for going to weddings where I havent banged any of the bridesmaids.

So to this day, at weddings, my college buddies call me “Mr Baseball”. Not because of that, but because when I put on a fake mustache I look just like Tom Selleck.

Amy luck with the mothers of the bride and/or groom? I'm wondering what the moniker would be for a dude that scored both.

No luck with the mothers of the bride. No luck with the groom either, but minimal to no effort there.

I meant the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom.

My fault as I didn’t take into that there can be multiple mothers of the bride due to divorce and remarriages, same sex couples, the biological father of the bride going full Dr Renee Richards, or other possibilities. I thought writing ”mothers” would encompass both as it also didn’t occur to me that dudes would want to score with both the mother of the bride and the groom, but everyone has their own bucket list.

I’ll be more definitive with grammar and punctuation next time.

I have made it my life’s mission to prove that the saying “there’s no such thing as a stupid question” is patently false.

Perfectly good questions like your own can be turned stupid if the person answering them is, himself, stupid.
