Two storied franchises, two talented teams, and two devoted fan bases will compete Thursday in the NBA Finals hoping to once again be crowned champions.
"I was a big-time Warriors fan back in the 70s," says Carl Ruffin, a Warrior fan from Dallas by way of Danville.
"They were always a close-knit team. I mean they play together as a team. And you can tell that those guys really get along not only on the floor but off the floor as well," he said. "We've been waiting for a Boston team to be versus San Francisco in the final matchup," said Connecticut Yankee co-owner Jonathan Broyer."And we've been close. It was so close with the Patriots and 49ers. It was really close with the Giants and Red Sox. And now, we finally get to see it with the Celtics and Warriors."
