Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski pulls no punches on his piece about Warriors' owner Chris Cohan. He does everything short of threatening to beat up Cohan's mom. Here are some of the tasty bits:
The worst owner in the NBA is seldom seen or heard, preferring to let a slobbering run of incompetence shape the face of his legacy. From front-office folly to combustible stars, Cohan has lorded over one embarrassing episode after another in his 15-year Donald Sterling-esque run as majority owner.
The best part? Wojo is absolutely correct. The Warriors have one the best fan bases in the game and yet they are served an inferior product again and again. Almost immediately after taking ownership of the team for the 1994-5 season, Cohan lost his coach, Don Nelson, and the team's best young player, Chris Webber. Latrell Sprewell was gone three years later after choking coach P.J. Carlesimo. And, of course, who can forget the Dave Twardzik era when the Warriors took Todd "4.0" Fuller over Kobe "Four Rings" Bryant among others in the 1996 Draft? Cohan has burned through nine coaches in his 15 years; Don Nelson is now in his second stint (after successfully fending off a lawsuit by Cohan following his first go-round as the Warriors' coach).
God willing, some kajillionaire will rescue Warriors fans from their purgatory and deliver them at least what most other teams in the NBA accept as their fate: mediocrity.
