Its one thing to criticize the Warriors for their actions on the court. However, their efforts to serve the community of Oakland is above reproach. Today they hosted an event at CityTeam Ministries of Oakland which featured players and members of the front office who volunteered their time to provide food for people who are in need.
Players such as Acie Law, Devean George, and Speedy Claxton, along with members of the Warrior Girls dance team, donated their time to serve food.

"I contacted the Warriors organization some time ago and took them a DVD of what goes on here" said Chris Williams Director of CityTeam Ministries of Oakland, "and they wanted to partner up after being impressed. They came on-site and I took them on a tour. From there they wanted to maximize an opportunity to do community service with us here."

At times like this its important to remember that there are things more important than a basketball game. Events like this help us remain focused on what's truly important. Kudos to the Warriors for continuing to do the right thing when it comes to helping out in a community where there is a significant need.
