Nick Bosa's favorite sports moment of decade will anger Warriors fans

Share

Nick Bosa quickly has endeared himself to 49ers and Bay Area sports fans during his rookie season, but some of his goodwill might have just gone out the window.

The 49ers star pass rusher spoke with NBC Sports Bay Area's Ian Williams and revealed his favorite sports moment of the past decade. It's one that still stings another Bay Area team to this day.

"I got to go with [Kyrie Irving's] three against the Warriors," Bosa told Williams. "That was a good night too. That was the 'Game of Thrones' Battle of the Bastards episode so that was just a great night of television. But yeah, I'm probably going to get in trouble for that. I'm no basketball fan, but that was fun to watch."

Better watch your back, Nick.

While that was a good night of television for all those not living and dying with every turnover and missed shot at Oracle Arena on June 19, 2016, Irving's dagger will forever be a moment of pain for Dub Nation, as it sealed the Warriors' historic three-games-to-one NBA Finals collapse to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Going from Irving's epic shot to the faceoff between Ramsey Bolton and Jon Snow was an all-time TV night, so it's hard not to agree with Bosa.

I'm sure Bay Area sports fans will forgive Bosa if he notches a few sacks on in the winner-take-all battle with the Seattle Seahawks on "Sunday Night Football."
