You know, at one point from 1972-1976 there was an Oakland professional team that won the championship? The A’s three-peated from ‘72-’74. The Warriors won the NBA Finals in ‘75. And the Raiders won the Super Bowl in ‘76.
And now...none of them are in Oakland. The A’s are done playing in the East Bay, headed apparently to Las Vegas. Bay Area legend Stephen Curry, who spent his formative NBA years getting the Warriors out of the trash heap and into a dynasty before the team left Oakland to San Francisco, was asked about the A’s leaving at his team’s media day today.
