The Death Star: Steve Kerr, Joe Lacob Bob Myers
The Death Star is the real star of Star Wars. There’s no movie without the giant ship that is the size of the planet. There’s nothing to pull in our heroes. There’s nothing for our villains to converse in. And, most importantly, there’s nothing to blow up at the very end.
In this case, The Death Star is the key figures in the Golden State Warriors organization. We have head coach Steve Kerr, general manager Bob Myers, and owner Joe Lacob. Without them, there are no Warriors. Just like there is no plot in A New Hope without the Death Star.
“Both as impregnable fortress and as symbol of the Emperor’s inviolable rule, the deep-space mobile battle station was an achievement on the order of any fashioned by the ancestral species that had unlocked the secret of hyperspace and opened the galaxy to exploration.”
Do I need to remind anyone that the Warriors are lightyears ahead of everyone? The Death Star was lightyears ahead of its time. People think it’s the Millennium Falcon, but that’s not true. That Falcon was just a single spaceship. The Death Star was a killing machine. It destroyed entire planets much the same way the Warriors have destroyed or changed entire franchises.
Kerr, Myers, and Lacob are at the helm of the greatest killing machine in NBA history. But every great ship needs a great commander….
