@GSWFastBreak joins the show to remember Jerry West and his impact on the Warriors
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.
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.
Just here to say the Warriors won a championship last year despite the “two timelines” plan, not because of it.
Congrats to the Suns for winning on a Tuesday night before Halloween. It’s never too early to drop another workout video.
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.

James Wiseman will make his summer league debut for the Warriors tomorrow night, I’m told. Cleared practice well today. The final step in his return. Warriors face the Spurs.
