Although in competitive sports, it's never advisable to pop the champagne early.
But before the start of Game 5 of the NBA Finals between the Knicks and the Warriors...
Apart from setting up fireworks at Oracle Arena, the Warriors' staff also placed a customized gold T-shirt on every seat in the arena.
The front of the T-shirt features the iconic landmark of the Bay Area—the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.
The back displays—09/10 to 11/12, with bold letters proclaiming the Warriors Dynasty.
Even though in later years, since it became extremely difficult for a team to win three consecutive NBA championships, the league had to lower the standard for defining a dynasty to two consecutive championships.
But in the minds of the vast majority of fans, a three-peat remains the only standard for establishing a dynasty.
Interestingly, before Game 5 began, from the media to the fans...
The entire Bay Area seemed extremely "pessimistic" about the Warriors.
As for the reason?
