@warriorsworld Dollars more important than wins, and don’t let them ever claim otherwise.

@GSWFastBreak joins the show to remember Jerry West and his impact on the Warriors

[Fast Break @GSWFastBreak]

I won’t pretend to know if West ever found happiness, or what happiness looked like for him (his writing on depression is true & raw), but I do know he inspired and guided so many others to excellence. The world is less exceptional without him. /end

[Fast Break @GSWFastBreak]

I don’t have a lot of heroes, but Jerry West was one. Brilliant, humble, conflicted, a truth-teller, and always chasing a standard only he set. To me, the dividing line between the old, sad, sorry Warriors and what we have now was the day he joined the franchise.

[Fast Break @GSWFastBreak]

I interviewed West a few years later (thanks Raymond) and he rattled off what the Ws would need to do - and eventually did - to win a championship. He saw it, that elusive West standard of excellence, and he was cursed most days with seeing everyone (himself included) fall short.

@Wittnessed You know the in-season tournament is the real deal because someone got hurt right before it.

@GuyTucker27 Welcome to the Dunleavy Era.

[Fast Break @GSWFastBreak]

Just here to say I'm still not rooting for Chris Paul.

[Fast Break @GSWFastBreak]

Just here to say it was a better run than I ever dreamed was possible.

[Fast Break @GSWFastBreak]

Just here to say the Warriors won a championship last year despite the “two timelines” plan, not because of it.

[Fast Break @GSWFastBreak]

Just here to say pay Bob Myers.

[Fast Break @GSWFastBreak]

Just here to make sure we appreciate Kevon Looney too.

Congrats to the Suns for winning on a Tuesday night before Halloween. It’s never too early to drop another workout video.

[Fast Break @GSWFastBreak]

Let’s all take a moment to appreciate the Lakers snagging defeat from the jaws of victory.

[Fast Break @GSWFastBreak]

@thee_neon These types of things happen regularly on teams. You hear about 1 out of every 20. The biggest problem for the Ws and Green is how blown into the open this has become, after everyone already did a cycle of damage control that downplayed it.

[Fast Break @GSWFastBreak]

Video makes the Green incident 10x worse. Pictures always more powerful than words, but video also created a whole new media cycle on the situation and an independent story of how the video got leaked. Headaches the team did not need.

@ToolmanTA Not a good place to be.
