A Special Shoutout Post to the Western Conference Champions

They say the best ideas are borne between lots of beer and the third rerun of SportsCenter sounding off aimlessly in the background.

Somebody said that, I'm sure of it.

Or, at least, the spontaneous aspect of the entire spectacle would remain thought out and thoughtful at the same time.

So there I was, and we were, drifting into the ambiance of another Golden State Warriors victory, reminiscing about what we just watched and what we witnessed growing up. You see, we're all relatively young, a couple years out of college, and spoiled by the recent run of success from those Warriors. But now? As they not only sprint but trample those in their path to what still remains surreal to a championship trophy, it's comforting to lay back and consider how we got to this soulful breath in time.

Credit needs to go out to Yuhki Sakai, Ari Simon, and Reed Moran for inspiring this idea, running with the tangent a little too long, a little hard, and forcing my hand to get typing on this here keyboard. So thanks, gentlemen, but most importantly, thank you, Golden State, this one is for you guys.

Ari and Yuhki collaborated on the usage of shoutout, shouts, s|o, who were the first people I knew to come up with the endearing form of praise and credit. So shouts to you two. And the stuff in here that's actually funny? S|O Reed, you're a legend.

Here we go.
