It’s been a little over 11 years since the Golden State Warriors shocked the world by felling the mighty Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the 2007 NBA Playoffs, becoming the first (and only) 8 seed to beat a 1 seed in a seven-game series.
I still think about it all the time. The yellow towels waving frantically all through Oracle Arena; the playground flair from Baron Davis and Stephen Jackson; the corner threes from Jason Richardson; the childlike energy that exuded from every player, coach, and fan.
