Opinion | Remembrance of Sane Days: On the Exciting Return of Clay Thompson Israel today

I'm not a fan of any NBA team, but somehow it turned out that I was also crazy about the Golden State Warriors of the early '90s, with Tim Hardaway's run-and-go trio, Mitch Richmond and Chris Malin, and the "We" Warriors Believe "from 2007.

And then it turned out that in order to express my love for him I bought a Steph Kerry shirt even before he was an all-star.

These are a total of three anecdotes, over 30 years of basketball.

So, that doesn’t really explain the excitement that flooded me when I saw the players ’performance on the night between Sunday and Monday when the Warriors hosted Cleveland for a regular mid-January season game.

Clay Thompson is back, with his natural and charming composure and voice, after nearly two and a half years he missed because of a series of unfortunate injuries, and I will be rewarded with an equally unfortunate series of loud voices, simply because old clips from the Warriors Championship years ran on screen.

Then the dramatic slide - Steph in the middle, behind him Drymond Green and Clay.

Behind them are Andre Iguodala and Andrew Wiggins.

Buena, that's what a historical group looks like, no?

A reminder of much more sane days.

And more than my fondness for the San Francisco Bay Club, at that moment the token fell to me to explain the great excitement - since Clay was injured, not only did he stand out in his absence from the view.

But also the lack of normalcy, spiced with a historical group.

A short season, bubble games, frequent star passes, a host of injuries, countless absences, and also the last final in which two teams that have not been in this class for almost 100 years have met - an exhausting routine that does not climb to a real climax.

And even a group that you can look at and say: her!

Everyone wants to win it!

And if we do not succeed, everyone will remember her forever!

So true, a lot more things need to happen for these Warriors to really win the championship this season.

Start losing fewer pills will help, for example.

But the aroma of Steph-Dry-Clay dancing on the parquet can be smelled all the way to Hod Hasharon.

And when you close your eyes tightly, you can easily feel like we're back in time a few years back.

A feeling that today is worth its emotional weight in gold.

Maybe even in a home corona test kit, what's available on the shelf is fine.

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
