champion. Nothing personal. Word of the day for Friday June 17, 2022. Champions. The

0:28.6

Golden State Warriors won the NBA title last night and Steph Curry got himself his

0:34.3

fourth ring. His first finals MVP. Steph Curry, the greatest shooter of all time,

0:41.5

has now led a team to its fourth title in eight years. It's not the bulls who won

0:47.3

six titles in eight years. It's not the Lakers who won three in a row, but my God,

0:52.5

the Warriors. There's no way anyone was gonna be in four to seven times. I think

1:45.9

team presidents or other teams who have never even been to a World Series and you're standing

1:50.1

there and it's very surreal when you get the trophy. The NBA does an interesting thing.

1:55.3

They do the trophy presentation on the court even when the road team wins, which is what

1:59.3

the Warriors did baseball started doing that. But in my day, we got our trophy inside the

2:04.9

Yankees locker room inside their clubhouse. They made a stage and sort of part of the clubhouse

2:10.1
