Why Warriors’ Moses Moody believes ex-teammate Kevon Looney is irreplaceable originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Some people just can’t be replaced.
Moses Moody believes that’s the case for Kevon Looney, who left the Warriors in NBA free agency after 10 years with the organization.
“It’s going to be tough losing Loon in so many ways,” Moody said Friday on 95.7 The Game’s “Willard & Dibs.” “He’s been here since I got here. The person he’s been for the team and for me is immeasurable. He definitely can’t be replaced in any way — including the yoga room.”
Not only were Moody and Looney teammates for the past four seasons, but they also bonded over non-basketball activities such as yoga and their faith.
“The way he looked out for me and brought [yoga] to my attention and made it accessible to me. He even paid for me to do it in my first year,” Moody said. “So just extending that out to guys coming in the way he did for me. And he didn’t put pressure on me to do it. Same thing with Chapel. Going to Chapel before the games. He told me he was going and it was up to me to go if I wanted to or not.
“The mindset now is to just keep that legacy going.”
Over the past decade, Looney has served as the Warriors’ Iron Man. He was dependable, reliable and always had a positive attitude.
Looney signed a two-year deal with the New Orleans Pelicans worth a reported $16 million.
Meanwhile, Golden State is left with a tall task trying to fill the void.
