- Reposted by The PBWAMy anecdote on why the Warriors’ crew is consistently among the best: At shootaround during this season’s visit to Philly, they coordinated at least five reporters’ separate 1-on-1 interviews with players, including Steph and Draymond. That simply does not happen around most of the league.
