Would you be okay with an asterisk championship?

  1. Yes, a Larry O'Brien is a Larry O'Brien trophy.

    96.1%
  2. No, I only want a championship by beating teams at their best.

    3.9%

    Asterisks are for haters because, being the assholes they are, it's their identifying mark.

    Listen you may not like that it exists. But at the end its a real debate. Either way the OP simply asked would you be ok with it, and I as well as pretty much everybody said YES. Because like you I agree a championship is a championship. However, I personally would have no problem with admitting that there were favourable circumstances that aided my team get it (like star players missing from an opponent) IF that were the case this year. Like if OKC could knock off Warriors with no Steph in 1st or 2nd round. It's not mutually exclusive.

    not really. why is it a debate? bc a random like you said so? 1 person voted no and that was you. i see no actual real credible debate. doesn't look like one at all to actual people who follow the game and to significant people associated with the league

    Just my opinion,

    Yes, in 2015, Warriors Champ is astericks Champ.

    I am not 90% sure Warriors would win in 2015 if ......

    That is Obviously astericks Champ.

    Because it is what it is. I don't personally feel no type of way about it unlike yourself. BTW Honestly, you could easily view who voted what instead of talking out your ass.

    We put this team together to compete with the greatest team of all time. Not the Warriors minus Steph, KD, Klay or Draymond or any combination of the four. I will say beating them to lead to an inevitable sweep/5 game series in the finals would be amazing, as we'd have our first trophy since 95, but I can't say I'd be 100% satisfied with the victory. I don't want to give them an excuse to beef their roster up even more than it already is because if we win a chip no way LeBron or PG13 joins a title team to help us out.

    Yes, I'd be happy if we had an asterisk title. Yes, I'd much much much rather beat them when they're 100% healthy.

    It matter enough to YOU to say that I was the only person that voted NO. Well obviously that wasnt true. But apparently facts dont matter to you.
