If you aren’t winning you aren’t staying. That’s the message I guess.
Is this supposed to mean something? Yall want a pat on the back? Lol
Some people talk about loyalty, others live it.
And it is that familiarity with each other as a trio, in part, that makes this team a title threat every single season until we see major decline in any. Klay if he plays the way he did the second half of last season, a full year of basketball under his legs…and the Warriors fresher with their early playoff absence? Watch out.
This is fine. The suns one is wild
lifers in the following drafts for anyone else curious: giannis 2013, jokic & embiid 2014, kat, booker, myles turner in 2015. beal and lillard were in the 2012 draft.
Crazy to think that 10 years with one team didn’t even used to be that crazy and now there’s only 3 guys that can say that.
Really? surely there are a few more? Didn’t Giannis join the league in 13?
Love it
Here was the top 5 yesterday:
> Stephen Curry (14 Seasons – GS Warriors)
>Klay Thompson (12 Seasons – GS Warriors)
>Draymond Green (11 Seasons – GS Warriors)
>Damian Lillard (11 Seasons – Portland Trail Blazers)
>Giannis Antetokounmpo (10 Seasons – Milwaukee Bucks)
if the warriors weren’t winning from 2015-2019, would we still see them being loyal though?
It really just hits different when you win with your guys. When Warriors got over the hump in 2015 after all those injuries with Steph, it must must have felt amazing.
What about udonis
Only 1 Sun (Booker) has been with the team since last year.
Who are they? 🤔
Not some recent phenomenon: only 50 NBA players ever have played for at least 10 seasons and played for a single team.
