    Klay is half white. Both of Steph's parents are black but light skinned. That's Steph Curry's god sister in my avatar. Doesn't have anything to do with the subject other than the fact that his godmother, his mom's best friend and college roommate, is white.

     "Same amount of Fan boys betting on Klay Korver and a declining Curry thinking the Dynasty is back from 2015-2019"

    Couldnt be more off. Wannabe sharps/ and GSW haters have been praying on the GSW donwfall all playoffs. We heard Nuggets would be a nightmare matchup because warriors have no size, You had talking heads like rich buehler saying how the grizzles were 3-1 against us this year and "own" us. Now you have every person who loved lebron hopping on the Luka train, brian windhorst, nick wright, shannon sharpe. People have been picking against the warriors every single round and they will continue to do so. The public and consensus opinion is the one you hold, that this golden state team is washed. #fake sharps.

    Putting your money where you emotions are is a mistake to begin with. No serious bettor will do that. Casual fans with a lot of money to burn might. 

    Since Luka is an (extreme) minority in the NBA I can definitely see people rooting for him. However putting your money on it is a totally different thing.
