Back in the mid 2000s, Rasheed Malek used to antagonize Matt Steinmetz on-line, questioning his knowledge and ability to cover the Golden State Warriors. Malek used to be somewhat disrespectful and even got a little personal in his approach-- not unlike Golden State's Draymond Green.
Nevertheless Steinmetz never wrote off Malek or his WarriorsWorld website. Instead, he reached out in goodwill and began to get to know the person behind the virtriol and negativity. What he found was a good kid who meant well ... just didn't know how to express things positively.
Ten years later, Malek has arrived and so has his site, now all grown up, along with the team it covers. Malek brought his star writer/media personality Jordan Ramirez into The Shed, and the foursome talked extensively about the blog business, the site's relationship with Warrior players, the team itself and a host of other topics.
We hope you enjoy.
