Game 5... Warriors found redemption. And as the final 3 seconds ticked away (Durant was actually traveling), it was a roar of celebration... it was a sigh of relief.
The entire night... I didn't dare watch. I hid in the room and followed on my ESPN app and Twitter. Don't think I could've been able to watch real time. Towards the beginning of the 3rd quarter.. I turned on the radio for a few minutes... and the Cavs started to make a run. So I turned it off. Superstitious??? Naaaaaaa..... but why take the chance?
The next day.... I ran to Dick's Sporting Goods to pick up some championship gear. Not for me... but for dad. In 2015... I went late and all the limited edition, good stuff were gone. I felt so bad. This time... I made sure I had my selection. When I called dad...and asked him what color he wanted... I was amazed that he said, "Can you get me #35?"
Astounded!! Dad never asks for anything. He always pushes gift aside. But this time, he made a special request for Durant. When half the Bay Area was breathing a sigh of relief... Dad was one of those roaring in celebration.
