OAKLAND (KCBS) — A rally was held at the Oakland City Center on Thursday as a sendoff to the Golden State Warriors, as they begin their run in the NBA Playoffs against the Denver Nuggets.
Giant banners read “Oakland is Warriors’ Ground” at the rally, where team greats and fans alike celebrated their first postseason appearance by the Warriors since the “We Believe” team of 2007. It is only the second time the Warriors are in the playoffs in 19 seasons.
Adonal Foyle was an instrumental part of the “We Believe” team. “Everybody always doubts what we can do as a city, and time after time we’ve proven to them that we can do extraordinary things,” Foyle said.
