The Warriors apparently do not ever forget anything.
On March 28, after the shorthanded Memphis Grizzlies routed the shorthanded Golden State Warriors 123-95, Jaren Jackson Jr. fired off a tweet. “Strength in numbers ????????,” the tweet read. Jackson was mocking the Warriors’ long-standing team motto, as Memphis locked in on in the West’s No. 2 seed, while Golden State was tumbling toward third with a chance of falling to fourth. Strength in numbers ????????

Nearly three months later, after Golden State won its fourth title in eight seasons, a championship path that included dispatching Memphis in the second round, Klay Thompson made sure to remind everyone of Jackson’s tweet.
“This was a collective effort and strength in numbers is alive and well,” Thompson said following Game 6. “There was this one player on the Grizzlies who tweeted ‘Strength in numbers ????????’ after they beat us in the regular season and it pissed me off so much.
