Two random notes from after G6 I never used anywhere:
Ayesha Curry was wearing the jacket Steph got for making the 75th Anniversary Team.
When Klay was getting up from the podium, Wiggins was there, and Klay joked, “Canada, baby. Steve Nash never even got a ring. He’s my guy.” – 11:10 AM

Andrew Wiggins always had this in him. That was evident in Minnesota. Getting it out was the challenge

Jayson Tatum or Zach LaVine? Best two-way player, Andrew Wiggins or Jimmy Butler? Gobert, Ayton or Mark Williams? Did media voters almost give Iguodala the Finals MVP again for his garbage time defense? Ask Sam.

Bob Myers deserves a big time raise. The past decade he’s: Drafted Draymond. Signed Steph to a $44M extension that made it possible for Iguodala & KD to come. Hired Kerr. Didn’t just let KD walk; traded him for what became Wiggins & Kuminga. Brought 4 rings to the Bay. Cha-ching. – 3:02 PM

J. Michael Falgoust @ThisIsJMichael
The previous possession when they had Horford switch onto Steph, Tatum slow doubled. Led to a swing to the wing and then another pass to Wiggins for a corner 3. Giving up that switch results in a Steph layup 1 v 1 or it leaves a corner shooter open b/c you gotta help #NBAFinals11:19 PM

More on this storyline

After playing a pivotal role in Golden State’s championship success, Kevon Looney’s forthcoming free agency will be monitored more closely than anyone might have imagined a month ago. Charlotte and Sacramento, soon to be coached by Golden State assistant Mike Brown, are among the teams said to be interested in signing Looney away from the Warriors -via marcstein.substack.com / June 18, 2022
After accepting Charlotte’s job offer during the NBA Finals last week, further conversations with the Hornets’ organization led Atkinson to believe that both professionally and personally it would be best to remain with the Warriors, sources said. Atkinson and the Hornets had agreed in principle to a four-year deal, but a contract was never signed, sources said. -via ESPN / June 18, 2022
Atkinson informed both Charlotte and Golden State of his decision on Saturday, sources said. He will become the top assistant with Golden State, who will be without Mike Brown after he accepted the head coaching job with the Sacramento Kings. -via ESPN / June 18, 2022
