Best Steven Adams interview is when he's still got short hair and a clean shave and he's talking about Perkins elbowing him in practice:

As far as I can tell that leaves Hornets, Wizards, Pacers, Bulls, Rockets, Mavericks, Blazers, Grizzlies, Spurs, Suns, Pelicans, and Clippers without sponsors. I think OKC is the only team that's outright stated they won't be doing them.

Not that surprising some of the smaller markets haven't found a sponsor yet, but L.A., Chicago, Houston and Phoenix being out there is a little weird.

Having ads beyond whoever makes the jersey on them makes them look so much cheaper. It's going to be a sad day when they all become covered.

If I was a billionaire, I would buy awkward pictures of my friend's faces as jersey ads.

TheKevman: Dec 13, 2003; I thought Mad Max: Fury Road was

so you should probably ignore anything else I say

I can't remember if I shared the story here or not but Steve Kerr once came into the wine bar I used to work at at the Oakland Airport and taught me the triangle offense on a charcuterie board. It was one of the coolest moments of my life A) because he was loving awesome and one of the most genuine dudes I've ever met and B) because I was learning the triangle from a guy that I grew up watching on TV.

This was about 8-10 weeks after he was hired (somewhere around early August of 2014) and I'd always told friends/family about it etc.

Fast forward to about 3 months ago (I'm not working there anymore) and I get a text from one of my old co-workers that Baxter Holmes had come in looking for anyone that was there "The day Steve Kerr and Bruce Fraser came through in 2014." According to Holmes, Kerr told him that the first time he'd begun diagramming what he wanted the Warriors to do on offense was..."on a charcuterie board at the Oakland Airport at a place called Vino Volo."

So Baxter and I began talking back and forth and I gave him a bunch of details about the interaction. Basically, I asked Steve how the triangle worked, because I'd heard about it and never really understood the overall principles. So he said, "It's simple, I'll show you." He cleared the board off and used the almonds and dried cranberries as offense/defense and diagrammed it and had an ah-ha moment or two where he was saying "Usually we'd do this, but because we've got Steph and Klay and so much shooting, we can do this instead."

Baxter consulted Steve a number of times over the Summer and the story is set to launch tomorrow online and be in the NBA preview mag apparently.

He's also trying to get me a signed copy from Steve Kerr.

Pretty cool stuff, if anyone is interested the article is supposed to go live tomorrow morning.

Thanks for helping cause the Warriors offense to poop on the NBA causing Kevin Durant to become shook and join GSW/break the NBA.

Post the article tomorrow, sounds awesome.

Just think, if he had hit more traffic that day and didn't have time to stop for a glass of wine, the Warriors would still be mediocre and LeBron would have more rings?

He sent me a sneak peak and the artwork is awesome, they've got the dubs players superimposed on a charcuterie board and Kerr and Fraser sitting at the bar with meat and cheese in front of them

It's definitely Game of Zones-esque

It's one of those long form story articles that's got a bunch of details layered in and it's really, really good!
