Joe Lacob's son Kirk has apparently been shadowing his father in official Warriors meetings lately, including a meet and greet with associates and San Jose Mercury writer Tim Kawakami before the excellent and revealing three part interview you can find starting here:
http://blogs.mercurynews.com/kawakami/2010/08/17/joe-lacob-interview-part-1-on-finalizing-the-buying-group-and-on-rowell-and-a-possible-backlash-if-theres-no-instant-housecleaning/
In the interview, Father Lacob is quick to assert his son's Peninsula Point Guard Prowess against recent Kirk-pal signing, Jeremy Lin (currently ranked as the 15th best starting PG in the West in my expert rankings, below). But Li'l Lacob has an even more interesting basketball background than that, as it turns out. Kirk Lacob was recently a PR Intern for the Boston Celtics. Joe Lacob is of course still a, what, 10% owner of the Celtics? Let us know when you get that moved, JoJo. But to the man of the hour: Kirk is a burgeoning young captain of industry in the textbook rental business (Chegg.com) and he's just waiting for an opportunity to show the world what he can do on the big business stage.
Like, say, in a significant management role with his new family asset, YOUR Golden State Warriors.
What are your thoughts on motion offense, son?

I went to school with Kirk and he is good friends with Steve Kerr and almost went to work for Kerr in Phoenix until Kerr decided not to come back.
ReplyDeleteSteve Kerr's brilliant decisions are none of my concern. Heh. PS, Colangelo Jr. has royally fucked up Toronto.
