Listen, it’s really hard to beat the Golden State Warriors these days. The Warriors have only lost twice this season and have left many opposing fanbases distraught in frustration over just how good they are. That doesn’t mean there isn’t hope to beat the Warriors though and it also doesn’t mean you have to keep suffering.
Man goes from a losing Lakers fan to a winning Warriors fan with a mid-game jersey swap
Take this Lakers fan for example. He showed up at the Staples Center likely excited to see the Lakers try to upset Golden State. Eventually it became very evident that wasn’t going to happen. He could have sulked through the rest of the game, but no, he simply swapped jerseys and got to enjoy the winning side.

But, instead of trashing him for obnoxiously only rooting for teams when they are good, we should really blame the Warriors for being so much dang fun to watch that they are converting fanbases. The lure of wanting to root for Steph Curry is strong, he has the basketball kavorka.
