The Golden State owner has reached great heights with the Warriors, but calls the 2012 booing incident the 'rock bottom' of his tenure.
Set to begin his 14th year as the Warriors’ owner, Joe Lacob has become beloved by the Golden State fan base. But in an hourlong sit-down interview with 95.7 The Game’s “The Morning Roast” show on Wednesday, Lacob made it clear that the “rock bottom” moment of his tenure still sits with him, even if he says it doesn’t. That moment, in Lacob’s view, came on Oct. 19, 2012, when Warriors fans mercilessly booed Lacob during the middle of Chris Mullin’s jersey retirement ceremony.
After all, even the moves Simmons bashed in Step 60 were all brilliant: the Ellis-for-Bogut trade was the right move to focus around Stephen Curry, it helped the Warriors retain their first-round pick, which they used to select Harrison Barnes, and even netted them a late first-rounder that they used on useful backup big man Festus Ezeli. And beyond that article, the Warriors’ success over the past 11 seasons since the booing incident is unmatched in the NBA — and perhaps all of U.S.
