True, but I feel like the players would get more publicity if they were hotter. At least it would make them topical.

Nothing is stopping someone from creating a professional women's league that selects "hotter" women.

I think both leagues would fail but at least the WNBA has the NBA backing it financially.

True.

The WNBA is pretty much an expensive pr stunt for the NBA.

I can't believe it's been around for almost 20 years. In fact, probably about 5 years ago I thought the WNBA was out of business until I Googled it out of curiosity. Guess that shows how much "buzz" it has.

Klay Thompson says he is the best 2 in the game...Because the team is 26-1.

I get the feeling if things ever go sour with the Warriors that he'll be in the middle of it.

Dumbest sports shirt I have seen in recent memory. It makes the Warriors loss look worse.

I don't get that same feel with Green

Someone at some point I feel is going to punch them in the mouth.

I pretty much can't stand any of the Warriors players. Fuck all of them

Th warriors remind me of the seahawks. At first they were the media darlings along with their fans. They are quickly becoming a team where there is little to like about them.

I haven't heard of anyone disliking the Warriors...other than Cavs fans.

That's kind of our point. Everyone is all giddy about the Warriors but they'll realize soon they're all a bunch of douches.

Always good to count on our resident NBA fact checker in Wildcats.

I don't live in Ohio and I have started to see it outside of Cavs fans. They keep it up and it will only grow.

I'm really not a fan of any team but typically players. Yeah, I'll root for the Cavs but LeBron is my favorite player and really like Kyrie.

Curry with the mouthpiece, Thompson is too high on himself, Green seems to turn off some.

...,they are the champs though and 26-1 and strutting around cocky as hell, but they are backing it up. I won't be mad if they win it all as they are the best team right now....but won't be upset at all by whoever that may knock them off.

You should hear spurs fans talk about them... it'd make you think they liked the heat

Green is the worst. Easily my most disliked player in the league.
