OAKLAND — With the exception of Monta Ellis, whom Stephen Jackson said still looks the same as he did when he came to the Warriors at 19, most of the memorable 2007 “We Believe” team has retired now.
There’s one other exception — Matt Barnes, who was part of that club 10 years ago — and the veteran forward is providing a sweet conduit for the club that rekindled winning basketball at Oracle Arena a decade ago, albeit for too brief a period.
“The fact that Matt came back, it feels like we all came back with him,” said Jackson.
