Honorary Warrior For Life, Juan Toscano-Anderson?

We let Dub Nation decide

The master list of Honorary Warriors For Life lists everyone already polled.

Introducing Honorary Warriors For Life

The concept is simple. You get to vote on the question “Is X an Honorary Warrior For Life?”

What does that phrase mean? I once tried to define it, and people found it more fun to bring in their own definitions, so it is now back to being kept vague, like “Most Valuable Player” or “Greatest Of All Time” or “sandwich”.

You can vote at the poll at the end of the article or at Twitter, or in the comments. Comment votes count as 10 normal poll votes.

The Nominee

Juan Toscano-Anderson. One of my favorite players, his smart and hustling play was a joy for me. In the beginning, I yelled about his great play as MY GUY JUAN but quickly he became a fan favorite (and also he said he prefers being called Juanito), so he became OUR GUY JUANITO.

This year, he got national attention for his poster dunk of JaVale McGee (who graciously signed an actual poster of OGJ dunking on him):

He gracefully handled being whipped in and out of the lineup, and a dwindling role. He represented himself, Oakland and Mexico with talent and dignity.

He was not brought back to GSW, and now he’s off to… well, I can’t even say it.

Despite the smaller role, he did stay ready and made contributions.

Bonus Videos

His play inspired me to start narrating my videos in 2020… here’s the very first one in its clunky glory.

His system smarts stood out in a 2020-21 team which otherwise struggled to get the basics of Kerrball right. So much so that I made a three-part series and had to restrain myself from making more videos saying, “hey this is what this system could look like. “Kerrball” is not just fancy talk for watching Steph run around.”

The Poll

Comment votes count as 10 normal poll votes. Sometimes comments are too vague to be interpreted as Yes or No, and that is perfectly fine, but if I don’t Like/♡ the comment, it was not registered as a comment vote. You can clarify your vote by posting another comment that clearly says Yes or No.
