Bay Area Privilege is a Thing: Talking Pelicans vs Warriors with Asian Man Record’s Mike Park

Last season I got reported for racism a few times for this tongue-in-cheek tweet about the most privileged of teams not being able to recognize the benefits they are gifted above what non-Kevin Durant-Steph Curry-Klay Thompson-Draymond Green—led teams struggle to achieve.

Fittingly, one of the most empathetic and politically and socially progressive people I know lives and breathes this privileged NBA fandom life — yet he still longs for the struggle. Have your mind blown as Mike Park, founder of Bay Area punk label Asian Man Records, walks us through success fatigue.
