Thanks.... I couldn't have done it without all the little people.... LOL!

Yes, it will be one of the great teams of all time. It is interesting how the players have such a say and form their own dynasties or James can get the coach fired in Cleveland so they can win a Championship. I just hope it doesn't make the sport too boring for the other teams.

I guess we in the Bay Area paid our dues with many years of teams so terrible many of us gave up on the game, but the true fans still filled the arena. I started watching again regularly a few years ago when they started to play team ball and Steph Curry was fun to watch when his ankle was healthy.

I think the players are worth the salary since the game is damned near perfect to watch. Fast paced with a lot of scoring and strategy with great athletes and it lasts a reasonable length of time, unlike baseball. Most of us have probably played on a basketball team at some level and appreciate just how damned hard the game is to play at that level and stay healthy too. Still, it amazes what they make but if people are foolish enough to pay the high ticket prices and I'm foolish enough to send so much money to DISH so I can DVR each and every game they play... then they deserve it.

Happy birthday. Are you following KD in NY now? It seems pretty hard to keep aging super stars healthy at the same time on a single team. We did well with Steph, Klay, KD and Draymond where one could get hurt and they'd still win. We're doing well now with Steph and Draymond, Klay out but returning soon after over 2 years, and a great cast of supporting players with some of the young ones looking like they could be the next stars.
