Ziggy, BPers, Warrior fans that might see this.
it was mentioned on the observer board that we should get a newspaper ad, welcoming J-rich. To show that we are happy to have him here, and that we expect the same kind of relationship that the Warriors had with him. It would also ease his transition from fan favorite to new guy. making him feel as wanted here as he was there.
I think it would go beyond that though. This city is in desperate need of a cleansing in the NBA realm. It would help bring the fans that still feel scorned for some reason back into the fold. When they see that a player is being added that cares about his city and cares what the fans think, it could truly resurrect that feeling we had back in the 80s and early 90s. We need something that will spark the intrest, and rid the bad taste the NBA left here. not to mention it will cause more traffic here on BP.com and grow our fan base.
theres no better way than fielding a team of good guys, that play hard and win. when the players and fans have a great relationship, it transcends most anything the greedy owners can do.
Now i know that a newspaper ad is expensive and quite frankly our fan base isnt big enough to afford it right now haha. But maybe theres another way, like a website or something that we could do to make him and new fans welcome? any ideas will be good.
