Whereas, on June 16, 2022, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Boston Celtics 
        by a score of 103-90 in an extraordinary game 6 at TD Garden in Boston,

Whereas the Golden State Warriors captured their fourth championship in 8 years,

        the longest in the NBA Finals in the past 50 years;
Whereas the Warriors have won at least 1 game on the road in the last 27 playoff 
        series, the longest such streak in NBA history;
Whereas Wardell Stephen Curry, Jr., won his first NBA Finals Most Valuable 
        Player award for impeccable leadership on the court, averaging 31.2 
        points per game;
Whereas Klay Thompson battled back from 2 potentially career-ending injuries 
        stemming from the 2019 NBA Finals to win his fourth NBA Finals 
        Championship;
Whereas Draymond Green remains one of the best defensive players in the NBA;
Whereas Andrew Wiggins won his first ever NBA Championship title after a 
        critical game 5 performance that carried the Warriors to their third

        and a coach, making him the only person in NBA history to have at least 
        3 rings as a player and a coach;
Whereas Joe Lacob, Peter Guber, and Bob Myers have built one of the most 
        exciting and high-performing franchises in NBA history;
