Hardwood Paroxysm Presents: The Warriors are the Best Team Since Sliced Bread

Chris Reichert (@Chris_Reichert) thinks the 2014-15 Golden State Warriors are the best team since The Little Giants.

The O’Shea family dominated Urbania, Ohio in this 1994 flick. Becky “The Icebox” O’Shea was the star football player who was determined to play for her uncle’s pee-wee squad despite being the only girl at tryouts.

The movie largely depicts a band of misfits who just aren’t good enough to make the one pee-wee that the city is allowed to have. The two stars of the team are Junior Floyd and Icebox and everyone else is honestly just trying to stay on their feet long enough to make any semblance of a football play.

Though the team coached by former NFL player Kevin O’Shea is clearly better, the ragtag group somehow pulls together and defeats Spike & Co. If we’re making comparisons, Spike is clearly LeBron and much like James, Spike is a larger than life character who seemingly cannot be stopped.

Golden State isn’t exactly a band of misfits, however they are the definition of position-less basketball in today’s NBA, and that alone gives them that outsider feel. Fans expected the Cavaliers to be here after adding LeBron James and Kevin Love to their roster of budding talent, but there weren’t too many experts with the Warriors pencilled in as the Western Conference Champs.
Like the Little Giants, the Warriors have a genius calling the plays and while we may not hear Steve Kerr yell out “run the annexation of Puerto Rico!!”, you can bet he has some tricks up his sleeve for the Finals.
