The Golden State Warriors are NBA champions.
Repeat: the Golden State Warriors are world champions.
These are words that I probably never thought I’d ever see in my lifetime; frankly, words that I never considered possibly being a reality in my entire lifetime. Granted, I don’t really care much about the NBA in the first place anymore, but still, with a lifetime of remembering that the Warriors were perennial jobbers, it’s pretty fascinating to see how much things have changed, and not only have they ascended to the top of the (paltry) NBA food chain, they’ve clearly reached the pinnacle of it.
This ranks with casual surprise as would be sports teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves or Milwaukee Bucks winning the NBA championship. The Jacksonville Jaguars or the the Oakland Raiders winning the Super Bowl. The San Diego Padres or the Houston Astros winning the World Series.
