Looney posted a long article saying goodbye to the Warriors: This witnessed a boy becoming a man!

Call, this is not easy.

To be honest, I don't even know where to start. It feels like...

How do you say goodbye to a place that almost raised you in many ways? A place to witness you grow from a boy to a man? A place that allows you to make countless best friends in your life and experience countless wonderful times?

In the past 10 years, there have been so many things that I am grateful for and cherish. This place has really changed my life completely. To some extent, I feel like I've been in the Bay Area for too long and many people have forgotten that when the Warriors selected me, I almost just graduated from high school. At that time, I was just a 19-year-old child.

Looking back now, I was the luckiest person in the world at that time... When you think about the environment I entered at that time.

The Warriors just defeated the Cavaliers and won the championship, and I know this team is very strong. But when I actually arrived in the Bay Area, what I saw...is almost unreal. It feels like I live in a basketball game and can never beat a computer...

And we are that "computer".

Before the season started, I had hip surgery and missed for a long time, but I still remember when I came home from training, I said to my family and friends in Milwaukee, "I don't lie to you, Curry... you can't imagine it at all. There's crazy enough. I'm sure he's the best player I've ever seen in my life."

We only lost nine games that year.

Yes, nine games.

Dare you sure you have 73 wins and 9 losses in the entire regular season?

Obviously, I have no credit for this greatness, but I can say that it is really great to watch them play at close range. Curry, Clay and others always like to say that I hardly talk to anyone in the first six months. I have to clarify, it's not that exaggerated. But I admit that I really started to let go of myself when I saw Cole and Zhu Meng yelling on the sidelines on the night after Curry made the final shot in overtime.

That was probably the last four or five months of the season.

Until then, we had no setbacks. Basically, I never lose, and I rarely encounter stalemate games. There is nothing to be excited about or up. To me, that feels... strange.

Everything is overly perfect, do you understand what I mean? That made me uncomfortable. Because I know very well, what about me? A young young man from Milwaukee? It's far from perfection. So I was always careful and hard to speak much.

But that night I saw Zhu Meng quarrel with the coach? See them showing their emotions so truly? Seeing how much they care about the game, that flame? From that moment on, everything about me changed. That's the scene I'm used to in basketball. It's like...

Okay, I've found the feeling of home. After

, I gradually opened my heart, and pursued my dreams and brought me with me, as did Iguodala. Since then, I have truly become myself.

I still can't believe that we lost the finals that year, but this is another story.

Recalling the first few years after entering the league, basketball itself is of course great. But when it comes to the environment? environment! ! Honestly, it might be better.

Auckland Oracle Arena, or "Roaring Oracle"! Whatever you call it...that place is amazing.

You want to talk about a special basketball home court? In my opinion… there is nothing better than that.

Don't get me wrong, I love Chase Center too. The place was great, beautiful, the facilities were excellent and I enjoyed playing there. But Oracle? Those memories? Auckland? Those fans? That "restlessness"?

Oracle is forever invincible in my heart. That is a temple. In terms of audience atmosphere and energy, that was the best stadium I’ve ever played. It may be strange to say it, but playing basketball there is really like there is life in that place. It has a heartbeat and a personality, like a living organism.

The young players nowadays don't even have the chance to experience it. And it's really an experience that cannot be accurately described in words. I can tell you how special it is, but…it’s another level of special.

You have to go there personally, do you understand? If you have been there-I know a lot of you who are reading this article-I don't really need to say anything. You all understand.

In those third quarters, Curry performed on the court and cheered in the stadium, which was a feeling I had never experienced before. It's extremely noisy. When everyone shouted "WARRIORS!!!", I really got goosebumps all over my body. Sometimes, the atmosphere was so explosive that I even really wished I could sit in the stands and shout wildly with those loyal fans.

And that's right, of course our home record at that time also helped a lot - I lost about six or seven games at home in the past two years - but I really believe that it was the fans and the atmosphere that made that place.

So, that's right... salute to Oracle. I also say to the old fans who have made the stadium boil every night in those years... I will never forget this kind of atmosphere in my life.

Looking back on everything before leaving, I think, what I am most proud of about my years at the Warriors is that I have won everything by myself.

No one gave me anything in vain. I fought every opportunity. I won my place.

Early injuries. Then there are the pains of growth. Run back and forth to the Santa Cruz Development League. I've experienced it when I've been sitting on the bench for a long time, DNP, and everything you can think of. But I never stopped working hard and never stopped believing in myself.

I just need to prove myself to the coach, to the fans, and most importantly to my teammates. Perhaps most people won't realize it, but to be honest, it's a completely different challenge to prove yourself in front of a bunch of future Hall of Famers. This is not competing with a new player on a young team. But Curry, Clay, Dream Chasing, Durant. People don’t just want a photo, they really want to talk to me. I have always cherished this feeling and can talk about life with people from all kinds of backgrounds. For the past 10 years, it’s like we’re all next door neighbors. It makes me feel like I am part of the community and I am really one of you. Whether it is a construction worker, a city road construction worker, or a restaurant eating, I will come over to express my support and greetings when I see me... I laugh every time. I really can't express my gratitude in words for all the love you have given me and my family over the past 10 years.

Even if I am going somewhere else now, I can tell you with certainty that you will always be my family. No matter where I go, I will always belong to the Bay Area.

Finally, I want to share with you what we said to each other when I called last week to tell Curry and Zhu Meng that I was leaving.

They were the first two calls I made. In the past 10 years, they have been like my elder brother - teaching me how to gain a foothold in the alliance, guide me, and help me grow. During the Warriors' days, I depended on them countless times. Especially when I first entered the league, I needed that guidance, wisdom and friendship so much. I'm not a crying person, but when I called them to say goodbye, I was really excited. To be honest, I felt the phone with my heart.

I hope they know how much I appreciate them.

I hope all of you know too. Everyone in the Bay Area, Warriors fans around the world.

Because these 10 years have far exceeded my previous dream.

So, before hanging up the phone, we are talking about...

"What kind of journey have we experienced together!"

"Ten years of wonderful years."

"It's such an amazing journey!"

Not all endings have to be sad.

I left the Bay Area with a smile on my face.

Thanks for this journey.
