NBA champion Warriors to parade through the streets of Oakland

Curry's comment came two days after Golden State defeated Cleveland 129-120 to wrap up their series in five games and earn their second National Basketball Association championship in three years.

"You don't want anybody to have to sacrifice in that sense", Curry said.

However, things are about to get expensive, real quick.

The Mercury News reported that Curry's teammate, Andre Iguodala, also got a tattoo that night.

With Durant, Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green all under 30 years old, it would require a Dream Team to compete with these Warriors, who had a 16-1 postseason.

That pushed Golden State to add Durant as a free agent last July and the results have been devastating. Because they don't own Durant's Bird Rights, the team would have to create cap space to sign him to a deal worth a max of about $35 million.

Speaking on ESPN's First Take Lacob was asked if the thought had crossed his mind since the Warriors wrapped up the NBA Finals series against Cleveland. It's such unselfish nature that has helped the Warriors flourish.

Wanda Durant had her son at just 21. Then it was Golden State's turn again, taking the title in five games.

There are two ways to look at this. Will he bring in more role players as he did with 3-point ace Kyle Korver in order to build a better challenge for the Warriors in the finals? The other viewpoint is that while the power four of the Warriors is worth the price no matter what, everyone else is expendable.

But for all their astonishing skill, the Warriors were the most determined, too.

But controversial policies and outlandish statements by President Donald Trump have upset many USA professional athletes, including players from the predominantly African American NBA. It wouldn't be surprising to see a similar move this summer.

In it, Castile can be seen bleeding to death in the driver's seat. "Drugs and guns don't mix", Gray said during closing arguments. Castile appeared in the video bloodied and slumped in the driver's seat while Reynolds' 4-year-old daughter is also in the auto .

That led to my favorite moment of the Warriors' championship parade yesterday: Golden State general manager Bob Myers telling a fantastic story about Thompson. They also chanted, "Let's go, Warriors!" standing on a blanket of blue and gold confetti.

LeBron James was remarkable in defeat, however.

The league's best three-point marksman will be eligible for a five-year deal worth an estimated $207 million. That'll push the Warriors payroll towards the salary cap ceiling, if not straight through it.

"Everybody for the last 10 years knew how good he was but until you break through and win that first championship there's still something there".

"I still feel like that today".

If the answer is yes, the Warriors may be willing to pay the luxury tax.

"They have an incredible team". In subsequent years, the penalty is even harsher, a "repeater tax" to encourage teams to stay under the salary cap.

Determined to make amends for last season.

Dynasties can fall apart for any number of reasons.

The other L.A. -based team would be the Clippers.
