From an anonymous NBA coach: “[The Golden State Warriors] are like one of those rock and roll bands that’s still touring. They’ve still got their lead singer, and he can still crank it out at a high level. But it’s not the same band as before — and they haven’t had a hit record in a few years.”

Full quote:

“I was thinking about this the other day,” one coach told Heavy Sports. “They’re like one of those rock and roll bands that’s still touring. They’ve still got their lead singer, and he can still crank it out at a high level. But it’s not the same band as before — and they haven’t had a hit record in a few years. That championship they won against Boston … that’s looking like a lifetime achievement award now. They had the experience and professionalism, and Boston wasn’t ready to deal with that yet.”

    They won a Championship 2 years ago after everyone and their mother said the Dynasty was dead.

  2. STA_Alexfree

    Spoken by some coach who hasn’t won anything and prolly got shat on by the “lifetime achievement” warriors 2 years ago

  3. a_talking_face

    Wonder how many championships this anonymous coach has coached in recent years?

  4. HowzaBowdat

    Bill Simmons-isms truly have brain-rotted all aspects of sports culture

    Everyone knows this and it also doesn’t matter. I feel like the Warriors/Steph proved what they needed to in 2022. I don’t see Steph winning another championship and I don’t think he “needs” it for his legacy or whatever

    Haha this is is the exact comparison my Warriors-loving friend used last season. “We still got the lead singer, he’s still got all his hair, and the guy that played second guitar on our third album is back in the band!”

    Everyone counted them out 2 years ago, myself included. I don’t think they are as good as they were back then, but they can still be pretty good and anything can happen over the course of a season. Also what a milquetoast burn.

  8. nbaistheworst

    Note to the anonymous hater coach: 2 years isn’t “a few years”.

    Lol the NBA culture is wild. Every team except the one that won most recently is a bunch of chokers and scrubs. Players never defend well, their opposition just played poorly. It’s so negative all the time.

  10. The_Upvote_Beagle

    As someone who definitely remembers, ughhhh – they won two years ago?

  11. Wellitjustgotreal

    It’s Jason Kidd. It just reads line Jason Kidd.

  12. torthBrain

    I mean they literally won a title two years ago lol but I agree with the sentiment

  13. charcharcharmander

    People mix up few/couple like they do with their/they’re

  14. Objective_Regret2768

    I hope they can make this playoffs this year, but I don’t think that’s in their cards

  15. rookie-mistake

    > That championship they won against Boston … that’s looking like a lifetime achievement award now.

    wow, no wonder he wanted anonymity. what a stupid thing to say about winning the fuckin’ title lmao

  16. PeachyCarnehand

    This is why NBA coaches get fired every three days. Some of them are just dumb

  17. ChunkyMilkSubstance

    Are we sure this isn’t a Bill Simmons quote lol

  18. hotspencer

    I’ll never understand how they were two wins away from making the western finals last year and that season has been dismissed as a complete failure

  19. NewlyOld31

    These NBA guys have the funniest quotes I swear to God lol all of them are characters

  20. paddiction

    Warriors should be approaching these next few years like the final Lakers Kobe years. Give Steph the bag, tank and let Steph chase career milestones.

  21. TaylorMonkey

    Okay “anonymous NBA coach” Ime Udoka.

  22. I don’t see the Warriors winning it all again in Steph’s career, but didn’t imagined them winning back in 22 so… And if Steph don’t get another one, he has already done more than enough

  23. Justin_FieldsisElite

    That was such an unnecessary comparison lol. We all know it’s Steph and bums you can just say that

  24. ZeroFucksToGive

    Wtf they literally won 2 years ago. That really isn’t a long time ago…
