The Warriors are just the 12th franchise in the four major North American sports leagues to appear in the championship series six times in eight years.
They returned to the NBA Finals after a two-year playoff absence, overcoming various obstacles including injuries to Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Stephen Curry that limited its trio of stars to playing just 11 minutes together during the regular season.“I was always optimistic that if we ever got all those guys together that we’d be pretty darn good, and it’s worked out pretty well,” he said.
“What they’ve done is great and what our coaches have done to get them ready for this level of play is great,” Lacob said. “I know we took, I, Bob [Myers], the organization took some criticism from people that we should trade our draft choices that we have to get one more great player or whatever, I was very adamant about it, so was Bob but that was not the path we were going down. We want to be good for a long time, we want to be great for a long time.
Lacob grew up listening to Celtics games on the radio. In 2006, he became a part owner of his childhood team and served on the franchise’s Board of Directors. “It was very important,” he said. “To run any business in life… you kind of need some experience, right? You need to see… what works, what doesn’t work. And when I was building companies, you kind of notice, what’s the right CEO for a certain type of company, what type of people do you hire, I think in this case it’s the same kind of thing.
