Golden State was never the laughing stock that the Clippers were. Golden State had some dope teams (Run TMC, We Believe) and Golden State had already won 3 championships prior to Jerry West so let's not act like this franchise was buns.

The man is loyal to the land now. He is cleveland's son.
Cleveland y'all got a good one man. I got tears in my eyes typing this. New york has no one close to Lebron James to represent us and Cleveland yall got the goat. Cleveland the city of champions.

You're completely wrong. The franchise was one of the worst in sports.

Word.
I grew up on the Warriors and Clippers being one in the same.
Obviously the Warriors have eclipsed the Clippers since the Clippers ousted them in 2014, but if you would have told me in 2000 that in 17 years the Clippers would be one of the best teams in the NBA and that the Warriors would turn into one of greatest teams of all time I would have laughed.
I remember the Mookie Blaylocke, John Starks, Antwaun Jamison days.

K.
My point was that the team had some memorable teams and had success with 3 titles PRIOR to Jerry West. Clippers haven't had either until recently.
I mean, there some childhood memories with QRich/DMiles and all that bumpin the headband twice or whatever but that whole franchise as a whole has been trash since forever. These last few years of "success" doesn't change all that's happen before.

Serious question for you fam.
Those teams you cited never broke past the 2nd round either.
They had like 2 winning seasons from 1978 - 2014 (I'm exaggerating but it wasn't a lot and they never did **** in the playoffs)
Where they cursed too?

Those titles were 1947, 1956, and 1975!
It's OK to be wrong, I'm wrong all the time, but you're wrong about this. There was no daylight between the Warriors and the Clippers prior to this current era. Both were irrelevant trash for an incredibly long time. Remember Joe Lacob was booed on the floor when he bought the team in 2012.

Yeah aightIf the Clipper curse was a thing they wouldn't have landed CP in the first place and be a perennial playoff team like they are right now.

I would venture to say no. Wavy a few pages back broke this down already. There's a difference between being bad and being the Clippers.
So do they not count? Do we only count the titles that we were alive for? As far as success goes, even if was few and far between you're going to tell me from the very genesis of both franchises, the Warriors weren't more successful?
My whole point in all this was to point out that the team had success prior to The Logo being there. That's it.

Again, if you're looking at the success of a franchise, you're going to disregard any success you weren't alive to see? Got it. I'm not about to debate about the Clippers. I've learned my lesson.

I mean, sure. I think that you're grasping at straws when you're pointing to success from that far back to prove that the Warriors were relevant before the current era. It almost disproves your point in fact. The distinction between the two franchise's success prior to now is so small as to be irrelevant, is my point.

But really though, my point is that since 1978 The Clippers if i'm not mistaken were more successful than the Warriors up until 2014.
That's 39 years man.
More playoff appearances, more 50 win seasons, more division championships, etc.
and if the clippers were more successful than you then that's saying something.
My man, two of the titles you cited happened before and during the Civil Rights Movement. We really citing that?

The last time gsw won a title before this run is way before any of us were born (1975). So stop it.
The clippers current run = run tmc, which was exciting but never got past the 2nd round.
"We believe" warriors won one playoff series.
The other 2 titles were before the civil rights movement in Philadelphia

Think about all that Bron has accomplished from a business standpoint being in Cleveland. In this day and age and with his current status he doesn't need to be in an entertainment/marketing/media epicenter.
Whatever moves he's making after basketball isn't going to be dictated by the city he resides, c'mon man
Lebron's not leaving Cleveland. He will retire there - I'll put $1K up for that.

more skill as far as what exactly? Kyrie dribbles, shoots and lays up. What other skills does he have tho? A.I. Averaged 27pts 4rebs and 6 assists for his career. He played defense and was a monster on playing the passing lanes. Was also ultra athletic and fairly durable. Played tthrough injuries that would put kyrie frail behind on the bench. Kyrie is a more accurate shooter. He is also trash alone. Ivo got those boys to the finals and stole one against one of the greatest teams ever, as the primary ball handler and scorer. Wonder how dope Ivo would've been with a Bron on his roster.. And how weak Kyrie would've been with E. Snow and Aaron Mckie as his running mates.
Tell KD to go have a seat. You won a chip. Be quiet for a while. Dudes win chips and start having reckless opinions on stuff the clearly know nothing about. kyrie won, next thing you know, the earth is flat. now kyrie better than bubba chuck.

If you actually listened to the podcast where they discussed this I don't think you'd be so heated about it. This "meme" you posted is a perfect example of why athletes don't share their opinions honestly.
