Warriors arrive at All-Star weekend as showcase’s darlings
TORONTO - A broadcast reporter emerged from her enclosed studio on the second floor of the Sheraton Hotel on Thursday to find her next interviewee, Stephen Curry, being followed by a flock of people.
Whether he likes it or not, Curry’s entourage is growing by the day, and the same goes for Draymond Green and Klay Thompson, who also made their arrivals at All-Star weekend and decisively illustrated the Warriors’ status as darlings of the showcase.
Aside from reporters, fans discovered a skylight and tried to photograph the Warriors as they sauntered through their media obligations.
The three-point leader did finally show his wear when he missed a pointblank shot at a garbage can with a banana peel.
Warriors will win 73?: Before recording “Inside the NBA” on Thursday night, TNT invited a select group of reporters for a gathering with analysts Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal and Kenny Smith.
[...] the Warriors’ chase to beat the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls’ season-single record of 72 wins was one topic of conversation.
