My mother and I moved to the East Bay when I was a teen. The W's were pretty bad at that point as trades and retirements stripped them of the talent they had when they won a title. I was fortunate to see Rick Barry play. I graduated HS and moved away right before the RUN TMC era began. Golden State had some interesting talents come in and out of their team. But like Sloan, Nelson was always a player short of really competing for a title. Nelson kep trying to find his elusive "big." Then Webber came along, but Sprewell's ego destroyed the team.
