Warriors’ Lacob hasn’t forgotten cascade of boos
Now that the Warriors have won 50 games again and are selling pricey season tickets to their new arena by the truckload, it seems like ages ago that co-owner Joe Lacob was ferociously booed by the team’s fans.
It was March 20, 2012, a year and a half after Lacob and Peter Guber bought the team. It was a week after the franchise traded fan favorite Monta Ellis to Milwaukee in a multi-player deal that brought the Warriors an injured center, Andrew Bogut.
Warriors fans might have forgotten how Lacob was treated that night, as he prepared to unveil Chris Mullin’s No. 17 hanging in the rafters at Oracle Arena.
Lacob hasn’t forgotten.
