Watching Chicago Bulls Mike Dunleavy play against Milwaukee in game 6 reminded me of his tenure with the Warriors.
Mike was the third pick and never lived up to expectations. When it came time to resign him, GM Chris Mullen signed Mike to a generous contract to lock him into the team. That was it.
Fans of the chronically dysfunction franchise soured on Mike. He was criticized for bring slow and soft and awkward and etc.

How the Warriors remember Mike Dunleavy
He's still slow but effective. He's not soft. He's tough and no talker. Dunleavy got under the Bucks' skin and helped turn the 6th game into a rout. He kept his cool and stayed in the game while contributing 20 points.
Coach Don Nelson wanted Dunleavy at PF and did the usual roster gimmicks putting Mike in and out of rotation. Coach Thibs seems to have found a way to use a much older Mike and win.
