Warriors celebrate their title with a glorious ceremony

Tuesday night was more than just opening day in the NBA. It was, as every opening day is, the celebration of the prior season’s champion. That champion is, of course, the Golden State Warriors.

Who knows. But the bigger point is this: The ring ceremony was outstanding, and there’s another championship banner hanging in Oracle Arena.
