No singular descriptor can capture \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flm-cZ7r6eE\">the Three-Point God\u003c/a> in all of his matrix-bending dimensionality, but perhaps one word comes close: underrated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But how can the best shooter in basketball’s history — who boasts one of the sport’s best resumes as a two-time league MVP, four-time NBA champion, eight-time All-NBAer and nine-time All-Star, who has definitively splashed the most three-point field goals of all-time — be undervalued, even underappreciated? It’s a question that Bay Area filmmaker, Peter Nicks, set out to investigate with his latest documentary, \u003ca href=\"https://sffilm.org/event/opening-night-stephen-curry-underrated-2/\">\u003ci>Stephen Curry: Underrated\u003c/i>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='arts_13926757']Premiering April 13, on the opening night at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13926757/2023-sffilm-festival-bay-area-guide\">2023 SFFILM Festival\u003c/a>, the visual biography takes viewers on an intimate ride-along from the early moments of Curry’s high school days to the present — hot off a triumphant 2022 NBA Finals run. The film presents a story of redemption and endurance, sacrifice and celebration, disappointment and euphoria. At its core, it’s the most human depiction you’ll likely ever get of the global phenomenon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Basketball isn’t at the forefront of this film: a messy, perseverant human life is. There are scenes of Curry doing homework after NBA practice to earn his college degree. There are moments with his three children that teeter between frustration and playfulness. And there are flashbacks — lots of flashbacks — to his years as a scrawny, unknown, often-dismissed teenager who went unrecruited by the nation’s top basketball programs and settled for the only option he had: Davidson College, a small liberal arts school in suburban North Carolina with zero basketball notoriety. It was a program he would drastically transform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite his herculean achievements, Curry has remained largely “underrated.” He’s never embodied the desired stature or cocky attitude of a dominant athlete. It’s fitting, then, that Nicks — a Bay Area storyteller who has been documenting Oakland’s institutions for the past decade — would be the perfect person to share Curry’s inspiring story with a national audience.

Did you grow up rooting for the Warriors?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Peter Nicks:\u003c/b> I grew up a hardcore sports fan from Boston. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVQUel1Ssq8\">“We Believe” team\u003c/a> was the first time I kinda got shaken out of my complacency and started to pay closer attention [to the Warriors]. The Bay Area in the 2000s was just an incredibly exciting place to be a sports fan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I wasn’t making sports documentaries; I was making films about a community facing challenges — education, criminal justice, healthcare. I noticed that Bay sports arenas were filled with wildly diverse groups of people from all walks of life. I always fantasized making a film about the A’s that celebrated the Bay and the community and how people can come together — like church. Sporting events are a time when people come together for a common purpose. To capture that in film was something I wanted to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>When did the actual recording and interviews happen? What were you most interested in capturing during those moments?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was several months prior to last year’s season. I met with Steph and explained to him my philosophy of storytelling, which involves observation without filming: hanging out and understanding the ecosystem. If it’s an institution, I spend time with doctors, nurses, patients. In this case, it was with Steph and his family. In a way, he has become his own Bay Area institution, a superstar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How can we make a film about a very well-known athlete that feels unique? Immediately, the first time I met Steph, he got his phone out and started sharing photos and videos from college. He just lit up and you could sense a nostalgia for that moment in his life.

What were the challenges in telling the story in a way that allows audiences to see him — one of the most accomplished players in NBA history — as being underrated? Some would argue he is actually overrated.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The title emerged pretty early. Most of us have gone through some time in our life when we’ve felt underrated, misunderstood, maybe had a chip on our shoulder and felt we had something to prove. Even with a superstar on Steph Curry’s level that can exist. As we got deeper into the details of his early career in high school and him not getting any recognition from D-I schools, we recognized the depth of the lack of vision that people had for his potential.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Peter Nicks']‘It goes back to the notion that all of us are connected and that we all need a sense of family and community to represent us.’[/pullquote]In a subtle way, I’ve been exploring that theme in Oakland. What’s at stake when people do not fully see you? Ryan [Coogler, this film’s producer,] told a story with extreme stakes with Oscar Grant — a young Black kid in a hoodie — about the consequences of not being seen as a whole person. Steph’s story is a version of that notion of how we only see the surface — a skinny kid, undersized, might get pushed around. With scouts and journalists, there’s a knee-jerk judgment there that gets layered on top of someone’s potential future. When that happens, it’s very difficult to overcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We found out how whenever family and a community see you and lift you up, and a mentor steps in and believes in you, powerful things happen. We’ve been unpacking that notion of being underrated and how it applies to athletes, communities, universities. It became a driving idea for \u003ci>Underrated\u003c/i>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>In his lowest moments, Steph Curry had his family and Coach McKillop. Who was your mentor, and in what ways have you felt underrated?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In college, I had a significant drug problem and was arrested and sent to federal prison. When I got out, I was getting my life back together and went to Howard to study creative writing. That wasn’t even six years removed from me being in federal prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I got it in my head to study documentaries. UC Berkeley was a great place for that. \u003ca href=\"https://journalism.berkeley.edu/person/else/\">Jon Else\u003c/a> was a filmmaker there, and had been nominated for Oscars. He was a producer for the seminal PBS series about Civil Rights, \u003ci>Eyes on the Prize\u003c/i>. I didn’t think I’d get in because of my grades and my record. [John Else] talked to me, he listened, he heard my story about why I was there and what I was hoping to achieve, what I had planned for the next five years. He advocated for my admission and I got in. That changed my life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because I was seen, despite what had happened to me and despite me not meeting the eye test, so to speak, I was nevertheless seen. I thought about that while making this movie: the parallels. I’m 6-foot-2. Steph is 6-foot-2. I’m mixed race. Steph is mixed race. I was born in Akron, Ohio. Steph was born in Akron, Ohio. How do you explain that? It goes back to the notion that all of us are connected and that we all need a sense of family and community to represent us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-800x78.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>‘Stephen Curry: Underrated’ plays April 13 at the San Francisco International Film Festival with screenings at 6:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. at the Grand Lake Theater in Oakland.

It’s a question that Bay Area filmmaker, Peter Nicks, set out to investigate with his latest documentary, \u003ca href=\"https://sffilm.org/event/opening-night-stephen-curry-underrated-2/\">\u003ci>Stephen Curry: Underrated\u003c/i>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The film presents a story of redemption and endurance, sacrifice and celebration, disappointment and euphoria. At its core, it’s the most human depiction you’ll likely ever get of the global phenomenon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Basketball isn’t at the forefront of this film: a messy, perseverant human life is. There are scenes of Curry doing homework after NBA practice to earn his college degree. There are moments with his three children that teeter between frustration and playfulness. And there are flashbacks — lots of flashbacks — to his years as a scrawny, unknown, often-dismissed teenager who went unrecruited by the nation’s top basketball programs and settled for the only option he had: Davidson College, a small liberal arts school in suburban North Carolina with zero basketball notoriety. It was a program he would drastically transform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite his herculean achievements, Curry has remained largely “underrated.” He’s never embodied the desired stature or cocky attitude of a dominant athlete. It’s fitting, then, that Nicks — a Bay Area storyteller who has been documenting Oakland’s institutions for the past decade — would be the perfect person to share Curry’s inspiring story with a national audience. Nicks sat down with KQED to talk about his own journey to becoming a filmmaker and the process of creating \u003ci>Underrated\u003c/i>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I noticed that Bay sports arenas were filled with wildly diverse groups of people from all walks of life.

I met with Steph and explained to him my philosophy of storytelling, which involves observation without filming: hanging out and understanding the ecosystem.

In a way, he has become his own Bay Area institution, a superstar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How can we make a film about a very well-known athlete that feels unique?

And as the everyday narrative unfolds during the NBA season, you start to shift the narrative more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13926767\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13926767\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/STEPHEN-CURRY_2_COVER.jpg\" alt=\"Young Black man with short hair against blurry background\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1205\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/STEPHEN-CURRY_2_COVER.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/STEPHEN-CURRY_2_COVER-800x502.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/STEPHEN-CURRY_2_COVER-1020x640.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/STEPHEN-CURRY_2_COVER-160x100.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/STEPHEN-CURRY_2_COVER-768x482.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/STEPHEN-CURRY_2_COVER-1536x964.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Young Stephen Curry in a still from Pete Nicks’ ‘Stephen Curry: Underrated.’ \u003ccite>(Courtesy of SFFILM)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>This film is largely about Steph Curry as a fallible, unlikely hero, rather than an invincible superstar.

Ryan [Coogler, this film’s producer,] told a story with extreme stakes with Oscar Grant — a young Black kid in a hoodie — about the consequences of not being seen as a whole person. Steph’s story is a version of that notion of how we only see the surface — a skinny kid, undersized, might get pushed around. With scouts and journalists, there’s a knee-jerk judgment there that gets layered on top of someone’s potential future. When that happens, it’s very difficult to overcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We found out how whenever family and a community see you and lift you up, and a mentor steps in and believes in you, powerful things happen. We’ve been unpacking that notion of being underrated and how it applies to athletes, communities, universities. It became a driving idea for \u003ci>Underrated\u003c/i>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>In his lowest moments, Steph Curry had his family and Coach McKillop. Who was your mentor, and in what ways have you felt underrated?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In college, I had a significant drug problem and was arrested and sent to federal prison. When I got out, I was getting my life back together and went to Howard to study creative writing. That wasn’t even six years removed from me being in federal prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I got it in my head to study documentaries. UC Berkeley was a great place for that. \u003ca href=\"https://journalism.berkeley.edu/person/else/\">Jon Else\u003c/a> was a filmmaker there, and had been nominated for Oscars. He was a producer for the seminal PBS series about Civil Rights, \u003ci>Eyes on the Prize\u003c/i>. I didn’t think I’d get in because of my grades and my record. [John Else] talked to me, he listened, he heard my story about why I was there and what I was hoping to achieve, what I had planned for the next five years. He advocated for my admission and I got in. That changed my life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because I was seen, despite what had happened to me and despite me not meeting the eye test, so to speak, I was nevertheless seen. I thought about that while making this movie: the parallels. I’m 6-foot-2. Steph is 6-foot-2. I’m mixed race. Steph is mixed race. I was born in Akron, Ohio. Steph was born in Akron, Ohio. How do you explain that?

The film mingles the 2021–22 season (when Curry led the team to his fourth ring) with footage from his early days at Davidson College, along with off-court footage of everyday life for a routinely dismissed yet consistently impressive basketball superstar. Nicks and producer Ryan Coogler will be present at both screenings, and depending on how the rest of this rocky season goes, we may hope there are no Warriors in attendance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13926768\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13926768\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/JOAN-BAEZ_1.jpg\" alt=\"Black-and-white photo of woman in striped shirt playing guitar in front of mic\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/JOAN-BAEZ_1.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/JOAN-BAEZ_1-800x500.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/JOAN-BAEZ_1-1020x638.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/JOAN-BAEZ_1-160x100.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/JOAN-BAEZ_1-768x480.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/JOAN-BAEZ_1-1536x960.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A still from Miri Navasky, Maeve O’Boyle and Karen O’Connor’s ‘Joan Baez I Am A Noise.’ \u003ccite>(Courtesy of SFFILM)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>‘\u003ca href=\"https://sffilm.org/event/joan-baez-i-am-a-noise/\">Joan Baez I Am a Noise\u003c/a>’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>April 18, 5 p.m. at Castro Theatre\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joan Baez is an internationally acclaimed singer, songwriter and activist, but the Palo Alto High grad has always meant something special to the Bay.

Interspersed with scenes from Baez’s 2018-2019 Fare Thee Well Tour is a narrative that traces her rise to stardom in her early 20s, collaborations with Bob Dylan and other formative relationships, and her prolific activism, beginning with anti-Vietnam War protests and carrying through to the fight for LGBTQ rights and the Occupy movement. Here, too, are more intimate, complex stories about her nuclear family, of which Baez is the last living member.

After focusing on a trio of Oakland institutions with \u003ci>The Waiting Room\u003c/i> (Highland Hospital), \u003ci>The Force\u003c/i> (the Oakland Police Department), and \u003ci>Homeroom\u003c/i> (Oakland High School), he’s turned his lens on another kind of local icon: Golden State Warrior Stephen Curry. The film mingles the 2021–22 season (when Curry led the team to his fourth ring) with footage from his early days at Davidson College, along with off-court footage of everyday life for a routinely dismissed yet consistently impressive basketball superstar. Nicks and producer Ryan Coogler will be present at both screenings, and depending on how the rest of this rocky season goes, we may hope there are no Warriors in attendance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13926768\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13926768\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/JOAN-BAEZ_1.jpg\" alt=\"Black-and-white photo of woman in striped shirt playing guitar in front of mic\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/JOAN-BAEZ_1.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/JOAN-BAEZ_1-800x500.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/JOAN-BAEZ_1-1020x638.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/JOAN-BAEZ_1-160x100.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/JOAN-BAEZ_1-768x480.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/JOAN-BAEZ_1-1536x960.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A still from Miri Navasky, Maeve O’Boyle and Karen O’Connor’s ‘Joan Baez I Am A Noise.’ \u003ccite>(Courtesy of SFFILM)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>‘\u003ca href=\"https://sffilm.org/event/joan-baez-i-am-a-noise/\">Joan Baez I Am a Noise\u003c/a>’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>April 18, 5 p.m. at Castro Theatre\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joan Baez is an internationally acclaimed singer, songwriter and activist, but the Palo Alto High grad has always meant something special to the Bay. This documentary from directors Miri Navasky, Karen O’Connor and Maeve O’Boyle combines music, oral history and archival footage for a non-linear approach to the folk singer’s multi-faceted career. Interspersed with scenes from Baez’s 2018-2019 Fare Thee Well Tour is a narrative that traces her rise to stardom in her early 20s, collaborations with Bob Dylan and other formative relationships, and her prolific activism, beginning with anti-Vietnam War protests and carrying through to the fight for LGBTQ rights and the Occupy movement. Here, too, are more intimate, complex stories about her nuclear family, of which Baez is the last living member. The singer and longtime Woodside resident is expected to be in attendance alongside the film’s directors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13926766\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13926766\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/RALLY_1_1920.jpg\" alt=\"Black-and-white photo of two men and one Asian woman in front of blackboard covered in names\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1413\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/RALLY_1_1920.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/RALLY_1_1920-800x589.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/RALLY_1_1920-1020x751.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/RALLY_1_1920-160x118.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/RALLY_1_1920-768x565.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/RALLY_1_1920-1536x1130.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A still from Rooth Tang’s ‘Rally.’ \u003ccite>(Courtesy of SFFILM)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>‘\u003ca href=\"https://sffilm.org/event/rally/\">Rally\u003c/a>’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>April 21, 5:30 p.m. at CGV 3, San Francisco\u003cbr>\nApril 23, 12 p.m. at BAMPFA\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s high time for a Rose Pak documentary, especially given the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11094253/rose-pak-chinatown-dynamo-opened-doors-for-asians\">divisive reputation of the late powerbroker\u003c/a> — she preferred the title of “community organizer” — in San Francisco’s Chinatown.

The series, which was shot in Oakland and New Orleans (dressed up as Oakland), garnered serious buzz at South By Southwest, but an SFFILM closing-night premiere is special in a different way — Riley has a long relationship with the organization, and was an SFFILM Filmmaker-In-Residence when he began developing his debut.

"content": "\u003cp>Growing up, Jordan Jimenez told his mom that he hoped to make history as a Filipino American player in the NBA. And though he didn’t achieve that lofty goal, the 25-year-old, born and raised in the Bay Area, has still managed to turn himself into one of the sport’s premier shooters — with an assist from his camera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, Jan. 6, Jimenez celebrated his inspiring journey as a photographer with \u003cem>As Told By\u003c/em>, his pop-up exhibit at Ciel Creative Spaces in Berkeley. The one-night event featured over 260 photos that Jimenez has taken since bursting onto the scene in 2018, when he first launched his brand, \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/__jsquared/\">Jsquared Visuals\u003c/a>. The diverse collection of photographs — which largely centers around basketball celebrities, but also features musical artists and his travels abroad — was the photographer’s debut show, something he is openly grateful about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I started out by shooting high school games and even fourth graders in the community,” he says. “I went through seven years worth of hard drives for this gallery. I wanted people to see that. I didn’t always work with the Warriors. After I dropped out [from college], I photographed lots of other things before I got to this point.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>An uncanny sense of timing\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>After hustling as a freelance photographer since the age of 17 — working with \u003cem>SLAM Magazine\u003c/em>, Under Armour and other notable NBA brands — Jimenez left the University of San Francisco to pursue his independent creative passion. Since then, he has befriended some of the most influential athletes in basketball, including his biggest collaborative teammate: Golden State Warriors shooting guard, Jordan Poole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13923524\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13923524\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/IMG_7140-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"a wall of photos, featuring Jordan Poole of the Golden State Warriors\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/IMG_7140-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/IMG_7140-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/IMG_7140-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/IMG_7140-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/IMG_7140-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/IMG_7140-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/IMG_7140-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The largest display featured Jordan Poole’s highlights from his career with the Warriors. \u003ccite>(Alan Chazaro)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The two met in 2019 at an invitational game on the Peninsula, when Poole was still a relatively unknown rookie training with athletes like former Warrior Juan Toscano-Anderson. Jimenez and Poole bonded over video games and music interests, and it’s been a Poole Party ever since. They’ve taken thousands of big-time shots for Dub Nation together, with Poole on the court and Jimenez off, as Poole’s personal photographer and friend. Jimenez has made plenty of big splashes during that run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.si.com/fannation/nba/fastbreak/news/viral-photo-of-steph-curry-check-out-this-amazing-picture-from-the-warriors-win-over-the-bulls-on-friday\">internet-breaking photograph of Steph Curry\u003c/a> looking away from his imminent three-pointer while teammates and defenders stare at the rim? That was Jimenez. A close-up of Gary Payton II cradling the NBA championship trophy with a cigar dangling from his mouth? Jimenez, too. What about Jordan Poole’s buzzer-beating heave from half court to change the tides of that Finals series against Boston? Yup, “\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/_jordanjimenez\">You Know Who Shot It\u003c/a>.” All were on view at Ciel Creative Spaces last Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With an uncanny sense of timing and a humble, almost quiet approach to photography that allows him to capture his subjects in their biggest, most human moments, Jimenez has naturally become a star on social media among his fans and community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jimenez intentionally kept everything free, even providing food and drinks for guests. Sharing his work with his audience without the intent of turning a profit is a big point for Jimenez, who wants his recreational work to remain accessible to all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t really see many Filipinos in media, so his work immediately resonated with me,” says Ralph Antonio, a 23-year-old student at San Francisco State University who was at the show to see Jimenez’s work up close. “As a Warriors fan, his photos capture the team in a way that people can gather around. That’s special. Being a young Filipino from the Bay, he inspired me for sure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘A win for the village’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Jimenez has already built an impressive portfolio of high-profile clients, including generational hoopers like Steph Curry, Sabrina Ionescu and Zion Williamson, as well as entertainers like P-Lo, Rick Ross and Wiz Khalifa. But working with celebrities hasn’t changed who he is; his success has only motivated him to create more opportunities for his community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13923523\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13923523\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/IMG_7183-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"local photographer, Jordan Jimenez, stands in front of his basketball portraits, with his family by his side\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/IMG_7183-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/IMG_7183-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/IMG_7183-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/IMG_7183-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/IMG_7183-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/IMG_7183-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/IMG_7183-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jordan Jimenez is joined by his family at his debut photography exhibit, “As Told By.” \u003ccite>(Alan Chazaro)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In that spirit, Jimenez has collaborated with local, Filipino-owned streetwear companies like \u003ca href=\"https://collectandselect.com/\">Collect and Select\u003c/a>. The underground purveyors were on deck at the exhibition with a merch booth to premiere a limited-edition design: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/collect__select/status/1611481189935902721\">a pair of mint-green shorts\u003c/a> with white trim and a late-90s Warriors thunderbolt streaking down the sides. The design is reminiscent of Jimenez’s youth, when his mom would take him to Oracle Arena, formerly known The Arena in Oakland, to see the Warriors play (with Thunder, their mascot from 1997–2007).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We drove from San Bruno and took him to his first game at Oracle in third grade for his birthday,” Lisa Rome, Jimenez’s mother, tells me. “He was so hyper to see the mascot, Thunder. It’s amazing to see where he is now and still loving basketball.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps what most stood out at Jimenez’s function — in addition to the impressive range of basketball memories he has documented — is the tangible love and inspiration expressed among his family and network of friends and supporters. Hundreds of fans and fellow creatives from around the Bay were in attendance, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/_joewallace/?hl=en\">Joe Wallace\u003c/a>, a San Francisco-based designer; Anthony Presents, creator of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13917810/lumpia-festival-filipino-food-district-six-sf\">Lumpia Lands\u003c/a>; and various members of the niche brand, \u003ca href=\"https://whocaressupplyco.com/\">Who Cares Supply Co\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a win for the village,” Jimenez says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Telling stories of joy\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The event, which took four months to plan, lasted only six hours. But the good vibes and celebratory atmosphere are something Jimenez wants to recreate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to do it again, but it’ll be a much more focused gallery, not seven years of work,” he laughs. “I want to keep the ‘As Told By’ theme. It was a beautiful moment, having the community together. It’s hard to get everyone in one room. Taking a step back and seeing my big family help me put the photos up and be there, that was a highlight.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13923525\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13923525\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/IMG_7133-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"a group of viewers mingle at a photography gallery\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/IMG_7133-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/IMG_7133-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/IMG_7133-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/IMG_7133-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/IMG_7133-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/IMG_7133-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/IMG_7133-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A crowd of friends, fans and family gather for Jordan Jimenez’s pop-up gallery in Berkeley. \u003ccite>(Alan Chazaro)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When I ask him about his favorite photo on display, he pointed to one of Poole celebrating a hard-earned championship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know how much work it took for him to get there.

Their starting five? James Wiseman, a newbie center who had played a total of seven NBA games; a forward in Kelly Oubre Jr. who began the year with a horrendous 3-point shooting percentage (\u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/warriors/warriors-kelly-oubre-historically-bad-3-point-shooting-start\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">literally the worst to ever start a professional basketball season\u003c/a>); a freshly acquired \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/warriors/warriors-kelly-oubre-historically-bad-3-point-shooting-start\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Andrew Wiggins, who was deemed a bust\u003c/a>; a recovering Draymond Green who hadn’t played much due to lingering ailments; and Steph Wardell Curry, the former two-time MVP who had also missed significant playing time from prolonged wrist and ankle injuries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No one will remember a game like Jan. 4, 2021, when a depleted Golden State roster faced off against the Sacramento Kings. By halftime, Steph had racked up 23 points, four assists, and three rebounds in 19 minutes—including a sick alley-oop to the rookie, Wiseman. With a victory, the Dubs reached a winning record for the first time since 2019, when they finished with a franchise-low mark of 15 wins and 50 losses. But with Curry back on the team, players like Mark Mulder and Brad Wanamaker (you’ve probably forgotten about them already) were suddenly able to somehow win games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As usual, Dub Nation’s hopes hinged on a miracle recipe that only Steph himself could whip up to get the team back in contention.

He’s been doing it since 2009 at Oracle, when he notched \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDBaDqrWBEI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">his first career triple double\u003c/a>. And in 2012, when he led a six-seed Dubs to the Western Conference Semifinals for the first time since 1976. And he continued to do it from 2015 until 2019, when the Warriors went on to become one of the most dominant franchises in NBA history, racking up three championships, the all-time most regular season wins, and five NBA Finals appearances in just as many years—all under his guidance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, when he introduced a sous chef by the name of Kevin Durant in 2017, \u003ca href=\"https://heavy.com/sports/golden-state-warriors/kevin-durant-step-curry-twitter-drama/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">it ruined the flavors\u003c/a>.

From a lifetime of watching this ball club, I’m telling you that Steph single-handedly (or single-splashedly?) transformed the aura around the franchise in a way that only the game’s GOATs have ever been capable of doing. Before Steph, the Warriors hadn’t delivered anything except Ls and a second round playoff appearance—and that was once, when Baron Davis led an incredibly charged “We Believe” unit in 2007.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After being dismissed in the draft, Steph gave us hope by proceeding to dismantle defenses with his scrawny stature and sniping his way into sports history, elevating the Warriors to heights not even Wilt Chamberlain, Rick Barry or Chris Mullin could achieve. Curry fed us that belief. Not KD. Not Steve Kerr. Not my Aquarian brother, Klay Thompson.

James Wiseman, a newbie center who had played a total of seven NBA games; a forward in Kelly Oubre Jr. who began the year with a horrendous 3-point shooting percentage (\u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/warriors/warriors-kelly-oubre-historically-bad-3-point-shooting-start\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">literally the worst to ever start a professional basketball season\u003c/a>); a freshly acquired \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/warriors/warriors-kelly-oubre-historically-bad-3-point-shooting-start\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Andrew Wiggins, who was deemed a bust\u003c/a>; a recovering Draymond Green who hadn’t played much due to lingering ailments; and Steph Wardell Curry, the former two-time MVP who had also missed significant playing time from prolonged wrist and ankle injuries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No one will remember a game like Jan. 4, 2021, when a depleted Golden State roster faced off against the Sacramento Kings. By halftime, Steph had racked up 23 points, four assists, and three rebounds in 19 minutes—including a sick alley-oop to the rookie, Wiseman. With a victory, the Dubs reached a winning record for the first time since 2019, when they finished with a franchise-low mark of 15 wins and 50 losses. But with Curry back on the team, players like Mark Mulder and Brad Wanamaker (you’ve probably forgotten about them already) were suddenly able to somehow win games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As usual, Dub Nation’s hopes hinged on a miracle recipe that only Steph himself could whip up to get the team back in contention.

He’s been doing it since 2009 at Oracle, when he notched \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDBaDqrWBEI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">his first career triple double\u003c/a>. And in 2012, when he led a six-seed Dubs to the Western Conference Semifinals for the first time since 1976. And he continued to do it from 2015 until 2019, when the Warriors went on to become one of the most dominant franchises in NBA history, racking up three championships, the all-time most regular season wins, and five NBA Finals appearances in just as many years—all under his guidance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, when he introduced a sous chef by the name of Kevin Durant in 2017, \u003ca href=\"https://heavy.com/sports/golden-state-warriors/kevin-durant-step-curry-twitter-drama/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">it ruined the flavors\u003c/a>.

Curry fed us that belief. Not KD. Not Steve Kerr. Not my Aquarian brother, Klay Thompson. Not any reason or excuse you can conjure about opposing teams’ injuries, luck or privilege that get mindlessly tossed around to divert attention from Curry’s epic achievements.

The same thing happened with the Grizzlies, when the Warriors had that crap game (prompting a Game 6 at Chase Center).”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schneiderman couldn’t procure enough gold shirts for the entire playoffs, so fans received black “Gold Blooded” shirts for the first two rounds. “It didn’t have the same effect,” he admits. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Warriors shirt orders, Schneiderman typically works with Blue Frog, a shop in San Leandro. When Blue Frog had a backlog of orders, the print company outsourced much of the Warriors project to Brand Marinade. Castro, who founded Brand Marinade in 2009 and had never received an order this large, put less time-sensitive orders on hold and jumped at the chance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13914241\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/027_KQEDArts_WarriorsFinalsTShirts_05272022-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13914241\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/027_KQEDArts_WarriorsFinalsTShirts_05272022-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/027_KQEDArts_WarriorsFinalsTShirts_05272022-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/027_KQEDArts_WarriorsFinalsTShirts_05272022-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/027_KQEDArts_WarriorsFinalsTShirts_05272022-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/027_KQEDArts_WarriorsFinalsTShirts_05272022-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/027_KQEDArts_WarriorsFinalsTShirts_05272022.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jeremy Castro, the owner of Brand Marinade, poses for a portrait at the screen printing shop in San Leandro on May 27, 2022. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>An East Bay Operation\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Over the past decade, Castro estimates 50% of local print shops have closed or left the Bay Area for cheaper rent.

Night after night, as the Giants inched closer to victory, growing numbers of elated fans piled into cars, honked horns, hung out of windows and whooped their way through the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the beginning of the team’s winning streak, fans tried not to get their hopes up too high. Since the Giants moved from New York to San Francisco in 1958, every championship that came within reach slipped away at the last moment. In both 1962 (against the New York Yankees) and 2002 (against the Anaheim Angels), the Giants lost in Game 7. They hadn’t made it to the playoffs since 2003. So by 2010—56 years since the Giants’ last World Series win—there was an acute sense of not wanting to \u003cem>jinx it\u003c/em>. (In a perfect expression of this anxiety, the front page of \u003cem>The San Francisco Examiner\u003c/em>’s advertising section screamed “Torture is over!” the day after the Giants’ 2010 win.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13870560\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-13870560 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/GettyImages-106932685-1-800x716.jpg\" alt=\"The San Francisco giants run across the field at Rangers Ballpark, celebrating their World Series win in 2010.\" width=\"800\" height=\"716\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The San Francisco Giants celebrate their 3-1 victory to win the World Series over the Texas Rangers in Game 5 of the 2010 MLB World Series at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington on Nov. 1, 2010 in Arlington, Texas. \u003ccite>(Elsa/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Where fans \u003cem>weren’t\u003c/em> afraid to be vocal in their enthusiasm was when it came to the motley crew of players.

That was an understatement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was Brian Wilson with his mohawk, bushy black beard and willfully bizarre interviews, the greatest of which involved him \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ckloLGOgVo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bringing out an almost naked man\u003c/a> in a leather bondage mask during an interview with Fox Sports’ \u003cem>The Cheap Seats\u003c/em>.

(\u003cem>The Sunday Telegraph\u003c/em> once referred to him as \"quite simply, a marvel of physics.\") There was Sergio Romo, the Latino pitcher who showed up to the World Series victory parade wearing a Beatles parody T-shirt that said: “\u003ca href=\"http://www.zimbio.com/photos/Sergio+Romo/San+Francisco+Giants+Victory+Parade/gOotYA_bS7Y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Beaners\u003c/a>.” (For the 2012 parade, he famously showed up in one that read: “\u003ca href=\"http://nbclatino.com/2012/11/01/sergio-romo-rocks-i-just-look-illegal-at-giants-parade/#s:san-francisco-giants-victory-parade-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">I JUST LOOK ILLEGAL\u003c/a>.”) Even Aubrey Huff was open about wearing a \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/sports/Thongs-All-Around-for-Giants-105396513.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">red, rhinestoned thong\u003c/a> under his uniform for luck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/SFGiants/status/1033436348777033728\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fact that the oddest team in Giants history was the one to finally lead the city to World Series victory felt quintessentially San Francisco.

It was like New Year’s Eve and the Fourth of July, but crazier—just on the edge of dangerous.

The reception was so enormous, BART set an all-time single day record for passenger numbers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even more inexplicably, the 2010 triumph was just the beginning. Something about that long-overdue victory lit a fuse for Bay Area sports that lasted the entire decade. There were subsequent World Series wins for the Giants in 2012 and 2014; the 49ers made it to the Superbowl in 2013; in 2016, the San Jose Sharks reached the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time. And in a series of wins that ignited the Bay once more, the Golden State Warriors stepped up and seized the NBA championships in 2015, 2017 and 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t just the Warriors’ trio of wins that paralleled the Giants’ success; it was the sheer length of time Warriors fans had waited for it—40 years, to be precise. And just as the Giants had a “freak” in Tim Lincecum, the Warriors had the Splash Brothers: Klay Thompson, with his legendarily flawless jumpshots, and Steph Curry, whose ability to make three-pointers from 30 to 40 feet away shifted team strategy in ways that completely baffled opposing teams. “Getting the ball to Curry is so important,\" the \u003ca href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-golden-state-warriors-have-revolutionized-basketball-1459956975\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Wall Street Journal\u003c/em>\u003c/a> once noted, “that conventional wisdom flies out the window.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13870571\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-13870571\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/GettyImages-477380656-800x666.jpg\" alt=\"The Golden State Warriors celebrate at the end of Game 6 of the 2015 NBA Finals on June 16, 2015 at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.

The 49ers’ move to Santa Clara and the Raiders’ imminent exit to Vegas hurt fans. The A’s, after losing all five of their postseason appearances in the decade, continue to plan for a new stadium. But no base has felt the impact harder than longtime East Bay Warriors fans who couldn’t help but feel betrayed by the team’s 2019 move from Oakland Arena to San Francisco’s brand new Chase Center—a shift that was accompanied by ticket price hikes and a wealthier, whiter fan base.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With Bruce Bochy’s recent retirement as Giants manager, as well as Kevin Durant’s exit from the Warriors and Steph Curry’s hiatus due to a hand injury, there is a sense that it’s the end of an era for Bay Area sports teams. Whether or not that turns out to be true, fans will continue to revel in the spectacular wins of this decade for many years to come. The fact that it all started with a group of oddballs, on the back of one of the longest losing streaks in sporting history, just makes it all the more extraordinary.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Night after night, as the Giants inched closer to victory, growing numbers of elated fans piled into cars, honked horns, hung out of windows and whooped their way through the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the beginning of the team’s winning streak, fans tried not to get their hopes up too high. Since the Giants moved from New York to San Francisco in 1958, every championship that came within reach slipped away at the last moment. In both 1962 (against the New York Yankees) and 2002 (against the Anaheim Angels), the Giants lost in Game 7. They hadn’t made it to the playoffs since 2003. So by 2010—56 years since the Giants’ last World Series win—there was an acute sense of not wanting to \u003cem>jinx it\u003c/em>. (In a perfect expression of this anxiety, the front page of \u003cem>The San Francisco Examiner\u003c/em>’s advertising section screamed “Torture is over!” the day after the Giants’ 2010 win.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13870560\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-13870560 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/GettyImages-106932685-1-800x716.jpg\" alt=\"The San Francisco giants run across the field at Rangers Ballpark, celebrating their World Series win in 2010.\" width=\"800\" height=\"716\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The San Francisco Giants celebrate their 3-1 victory to win the World Series over the Texas Rangers in Game 5 of the 2010 MLB World Series at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington on Nov. 1, 2010 in Arlington, Texas. \u003ccite>(Elsa/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Where fans \u003cem>weren’t\u003c/em> afraid to be vocal in their enthusiasm was when it came to the motley crew of players.

That was an understatement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was Brian Wilson with his mohawk, bushy black beard and willfully bizarre interviews, the greatest of which involved him \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ckloLGOgVo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bringing out an almost naked man\u003c/a> in a leather bondage mask during an interview with Fox Sports’ \u003cem>The Cheap Seats\u003c/em>.

(\u003cem>The Sunday Telegraph\u003c/em> once referred to him as \"quite simply, a marvel of physics.\") There was Sergio Romo, the Latino pitcher who showed up to the World Series victory parade wearing a Beatles parody T-shirt that said: “\u003ca href=\"http://www.zimbio.com/photos/Sergio+Romo/San+Francisco+Giants+Victory+Parade/gOotYA_bS7Y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Beaners\u003c/a>.” (For the 2012 parade, he famously showed up in one that read: “\u003ca href=\"http://nbclatino.com/2012/11/01/sergio-romo-rocks-i-just-look-illegal-at-giants-parade/#s:san-francisco-giants-victory-parade-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">I JUST LOOK ILLEGAL\u003c/a>.”) Even Aubrey Huff was open about wearing a \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/sports/Thongs-All-Around-for-Giants-105396513.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">red, rhinestoned thong\u003c/a> under his uniform for luck.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The reception was so enormous, BART set an all-time single day record for passenger numbers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even more inexplicably, the 2010 triumph was just the beginning. Something about that long-overdue victory lit a fuse for Bay Area sports that lasted the entire decade. There were subsequent World Series wins for the Giants in 2012 and 2014; the 49ers made it to the Superbowl in 2013; in 2016, the San Jose Sharks reached the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time. And in a series of wins that ignited the Bay once more, the Golden State Warriors stepped up and seized the NBA championships in 2015, 2017 and 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t just the Warriors’ trio of wins that paralleled the Giants’ success; it was the sheer length of time Warriors fans had waited for it—40 years, to be precise. And just as the Giants had a “freak” in Tim Lincecum, the Warriors had the Splash Brothers: Klay Thompson, with his legendarily flawless jumpshots, and Steph Curry, whose ability to make three-pointers from 30 to 40 feet away shifted team strategy in ways that completely baffled opposing teams. “Getting the ball to Curry is so important,\" the \u003ca href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-golden-state-warriors-have-revolutionized-basketball-1459956975\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Wall Street Journal\u003c/em>\u003c/a> once noted, “that conventional wisdom flies out the window.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13870571\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-13870571\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2019/12/GettyImages-477380656-800x666.jpg\" alt=\"The Golden State Warriors celebrate at the end of Game 6 of the 2015 NBA Finals on June 16, 2015 at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.

The 49ers’ move to Santa Clara and the Raiders’ imminent exit to Vegas hurt fans. The A’s, after losing all five of their postseason appearances in the decade, continue to plan for a new stadium. But no base has felt the impact harder than longtime East Bay Warriors fans who couldn’t help but feel betrayed by the team’s 2019 move from Oakland Arena to San Francisco’s brand new Chase Center—a shift that was accompanied by ticket price hikes and a wealthier, whiter fan base.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
