The Laziest Starting 5: Golden State Warriors Edition
There have been some lazy Warriors in the past but these 5 players take the cake. Whether its parking it behind the arc or sulking on the bench while racking in fat contract dollars, the Warriors are the king of laziness.
A lack of talent has never been the problem for Golden State, well it has, but a lot of it comes down to relaxing on defense and throwing the ball at the rim every time you touch it.
Take a look at the laziest of the lazy from the Warriors' past.
No. 21 Danny Fortson
Ghetto is an understatement when describing Danny Fortson. He always looked great with a towel draped over his mini worm dreadlocks. His version of boxing out was throwing an elbow. Truly a great Warrior.
No. 34 Chris Mills
Chris Mills is the prototype for the lazy Warrior. I don't want to say that he couldn't stroke because he definitely could....But he played zero defense and would park his fat ass in the corner waiting for a pass.
The only time he wasn't lazy was when he was blocking the Blazer's team bus in hopes of having a pseudo NBA-gang war.
No. 3 Donyell Marshall
The picture on the right really sums up Donyell's career with golden state. Donyell was very similar to Chris Mills in that they both loved taking ill-advised shots.
When he wasn't hucking up clankers, Mr. Marshall could often be found hunched over, hands on the knees, gasping for air.
No. 25 Erick Dampier
Oh Erick. His best numbers were with the Warriors but besides his final (contract year) with GSW, his FG% was horrendous.
I'll admit he loved going for blocks but with those attempted blocks came way too many dumb fouls and a lot of bench sitting. Foul trouble caused Damp's laziness, but it's laziness all the same.
No. 20 Larry Hughes
Larry Legend. I was live for Larry Hughes' 40 point outburst at Oracle but I was also in attendance for about a thousand lazy passes that led to lay ups on the other end.
Hughes had a pure jump shot and was explosive at times; the times when he felt like not being a lazy role player. There were plenty of crappy guards to choose from the Warriors' past but Hughes wins in a landslide as the 'ghettoest', lazy waste of talent.
Off the Bench No. 44 Clifford Rozier
On a normal team Cliff would have made the starting 5 but on a lazy-studded Warrior squad Rozier was forced to sit on the bench (something very familiar to him).
Rozier got paid and relaxed in the shade with a towel over his head. Lazy, lazy, lazy Cliff....just lazy.
