Yeah, you guys remember those days. Timmy Hardaway driving dishing shooting, Mitch Richmond the power guard getting off screens posting up firing away from downtown and Chris Mullin, the new generations Larry Bird. the glue of the team, the guy who could do everything. Shoot, pass, rebound, and play smart. The only thing missing was a centre who could rebound, defend and block shots, a guy that could lead the fast break and set the wheels in motion. remember the prizes the Warriors used to give out for reaching a certain level of points. And we all knew they were going to do it. i mean in their hey day together they averaged over 70 points, 18 assists and about 14 rebounds a game. Sure they got beaten in the playoffs but they were still young and learning of each other. than it happened, Don Nelson feeling the heat to go big, trades Richmond for the draft rights to ...... Billy Owens, a guy supposed to have an unstoppable inside/outside game , compared to Magic Johnson, if I remember correctly. Let us all laugh at that comparison!!! As we all know even though Owens dominated in college he was a nobody in the league. Nothing but a cap filler and always traded from the 76ers, to the Pistons, to the Warriors, to the Afghanistan under 40's division league!!! He was an el-busto. As for me I left supporting the Warriors when Richmond, my favourite player at that time was pissed off like yesterdays trash. he would dominate in obscurity with the Kings always putting up huge numbers without anyone giving a damn. anyway that was the end of one of the most exciting trios in basketball. Do not give me this Cassell, Allen, Big Dog trio, because these guys are selfish and in no way make the other players better like Run TMC did!! I know the Warriors also had Timmy, Spree, Webber, Mullin, but this was too brief and did not really have the spark of the early glamour years. if Run TMC had another 2-3 years together, they would have had a great run and taken the Suns, with Barkely and Johnson and the Sonics, with Payton/Kemp and the Spurs with Robinson ,etc to the brink and might have won a championship by now!! well as for the Warriors look what has happened since, a sad sad story. Richmond expressed disappointment at being traded out of Golden State and longed to return, but it was never to be. HOWEVER THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS WILL ALWAYS BE KNOWN AS RUN'S HOUSE!!!!! HOLLA BACK WITH YOUR FAVOURITE RUN TMC MEMORIES AND THOUGHTS!! IT IS GOOD TO REMEMBER THE PAST!!!
