Hi guys, I'm a new fan from Madrid, Spain. My history with Golden State is this:
I always have known NBA but really i didn't give him attention. Sometimes, a few months, i played some NBA Live and when appeared a mass media bomb as Jordan, Dreamteam...i saw it on TV or newpapers but didn't follow the league. After, Memphis contracted Pau Gasol increasing my interest in american basket. But the explosion came with Spanish team world champion and Gasol, Calderón, Garbajosa y Sergio Rodríguez playing in the NBA. Then, I started to watch Raptors games and NBA hook me.
At beginning, I sympathised with Toronto for Garbajosa and Calderón. Warriors liked them for his original name: Golden State. All teams called by city+nick but Warriors breaking with it. This small thing kept them in my mind. After, in the wee small hours, saw Baron Davis being furious in the bench with dandy street clothes and peculiar beard...Afterwards, the television was putting a historical game with a mad and incredible environment: Golden State-Chicago 1975 and seeing it my heart began to be yellow!.
So, from these nigth, WARRIORS FOREVER.
In addition, Warriors have things in common with my other team
