There's some cosmic irony that the same day the Supreme Court ended San Jose's legal efforts to lure one Oakland sports team, another Oakland sports team -- the Golden State Warriors -- was being celebrated at San Jose City Hall.
The Warriors, who were playing an exhibition game at SAP Center on Monday night, were the recipients of a proclamation delivered by San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo and also partnered with the mayor's office to honor Champions in the Community: Chad Bojorquez, Downtown Streets Team's manager of client services and Baker Elementary School teacher Debbie Pavlos; as well as representatives from 1,000 Hearts For 1,000 Minds, Work2 Future's SJ Works summer youth employment program and the Silicon Valley Community Foundation's workshop for the My Brother's Keeper initiative.
