Contemporary NBA will go down in history as the era of the Golden State dynasty. The Warriors won four NBA titles within a span of eight years. However, the San Francisco side has not been able to live up to that reputation this season, as they are haunted by inconsistency and lackluster away game performances. Aggravating the tumultuous times, some terrible rumors have been spreading on the Internet for some time now. However, the words of a key Warriors member are likely to provide some relief for Stephen Curry and co. in this chaotic time.

The San Francisco side owes a lot to their General Manager Bob Myers, one of the chief architects of the Dubs Dynasty. Quite recently, it was rumored that Myers is likely to step down, prompting thoughts of a bleak time ahead. However, Myers recently spoke about basketball and his words resonate nothing but optimism.

Nonetheless, it was reported that Myers might leave the Golden State for better opportunities. Alluding to Myers’ rumors, Warriors columnist Monte Pool said, ?There is some concern that this could be the last dance?If Bob [Myers] were to leave, I know Steve [Kerr] would be devastated and Steph will be disappointed.? ?Upon hearing this, fans went berserk, and they also started to believe that the Warriors are nearing the end of their dynasty.’

When people ask me about basketball… when I answer it… it is the only thing I know in life. I say when I am driving my car and when I see a basketball hoop or a game of two-on-two or one-on-one at the park, I can’t not look. I can’t, I have to. So I can’t not be around basketball,” said Bob Myers. This admission from Myers is indeed a sigh of relief for the Dub Nation.

Why Myers means a lot?

Bob Myers has been managing the Golden State Warriors for the last 12 seasons. It was Myers who brought in the NBA legend Steve Kerr as the head coach for the side in 2014. Upon the end of that season, the Warriors won their first title in 40 years. Moreover, it was the veteran manager’s call to acquire talents like Kevin Durant, Andre Iguodala, and Andrew Wiggins.

Hence, if things fall in place, Steph Curry and co are yet to deliver their? ‘Last Dance.’
