From Moore's press conference with the Warriors:

Quote
"My role is to kind of mold some of the younger guys into being defensive-minded," said the 33-year-old 7-footer.

Quote
"I'm coming into this thing, trying to bring something to the table that the Warriors haven't had," Moore said. "I want to bring that defensive edge. ...

Now, unless "defense" equals "committing a lot of sloppy, useless fouls and being slow to adjust", I'm not sure Mikki is being completely truthful with the good folks out in Golden State.

my favorite is the slide tackle move he tries to play off as drawing a charge

Notice he said "defensive-minded" - nothing about execution. Maybe he did learn a thing or two about defense from being with the Celtics.. but just can't implement anything except for sloppy fouls and late rotations.

Well, I´m not laughíng, Mikki.
In the summer of 2017, I predicted this team would not win a championship for the next 10 years.

3 down, 7 to go.

Wait... The Warriors had a press conference for Mikkie Moore?

They're the Warriors.. What else do they have to look forward to? Mikki picking his number is probably the most exciting thing that will happen all season.

Go Mikki! I wouldn't mind having him back on the end of the bench with the Celts  :o

I would like to have seen him more in garbage time.

He got signed by the Golden State Warriors.....The closest thing to Don Nelson's teams in the defensive embarassment category was the pre-Thibodeau Rivers teams.  Moore would have been a step up defensively on those teams, too.

Everything's relative.
