The difference between a right wing conspiracy and the truth is about 20 months.

I liked that the Dubs went back to the classic blue road jerseys for the clincher. Never been a fan of the black ones.

We are one of the smallest teams in the NBA and still outrebounded Boston.

13 steals too!

Boston was 3 - 12 and 6 turnovers against Steph.

His Defense was FANTASTIC!

MVP.

Guys, I think Steph Curry might be one of the greats.

At this point, gotta be considering him for one of the Top Ten of all time.

(Not sure exactly who the others are, besides Jordan and Lebron... good debate. Curry is in that conversation now.)

Giants 2010 was close, but I think this is my favorite title.

It's still that one for me, but I was always more of a baseball fan as a kid.

Same here. This one is slightly ahead of this core's first title in 2015, for me.

I wonder how many of the 15 offensive boards were from long bounces from 27 errant 3 point shots? Warriors were 19/46 from arc.

Almost exactly my list, which proves you know your hoops! I might throw in West. I didn't have Duncan and Hakeem, but they are surely worthy (lower case "w").

Anyway, Stephen Curry gets mentioned up there now, IMO. Two weeks ago, he was on the "others receiving votes" list.

I'm probably a bigger giants fan than warriors fan. They were my first love as a kid. I cried when the giants lost to the cardinals in '87.

So 2010 was amazing and completely unexpected. But also seemed like a bit of a one off at the time (who knew)

But this title has more meaning. After everything the team went thru, what Steph went thru, what klay went thru. Everyone saying the dynasty was over. So not only does this prove everyone wrong, but this title may setup another mini run. I truly believe that. There is no reason this team can't win 1 or 2 more especially with so many talented young players. And when people look back, they will say it was this title that was the catalyst for the next run.

Duncan has the stronger case I think. He was just Steady Eddie for almost 20 years and won three titles with different groups. Hakeem's dominance during Jordan's baseball hiatus is underrated. But I think he's probably just outside the top ten.

2010 Giants made up for all the heartbreak of the Bonds years (2002 especially), the '89 earthquake, everything. Dodgers and A's fans constantly chiding about the empty trophy case. Nothing will be more cathartic for me as a fan.

Hell of a season. I didn't think after the way 2019 ended that they would ever get back with this core but I underestimated Steph. I guess I'm in good company there.

Draymond 2 assists shy of triple double, and rests his case!

2-4 from 3, plus another long jumper.
Well done, Day-Day.
The DG fan club is intact!!!!!!

One of the incredible things about green is his defense/rebounding that he takes on directly on a fast break

For a team with no depth and some big dudes, that's gotta take a lot out of you

All right, stop being so agreeable. You know darn well what that sort of thing would cost you on the OT forum.

The San Francisco Warriors only need to win four more NBA Championships to eclipse their record in Oakland for won Championships.

Great pool. I'll throw KD in there for that fringe top 10, early teen to mid teens ranking discussion too.

Jaylen carried the team this series. Jayson Tatum didn't even get off the bus. One of the worst finals performances I've ever seen.

Draymond Green says Steve Kerr is "incredible" at "knowing what he doesn't know."

Praises Kerr for the way he uses Mike Brown, Kenny Atkinson and the rest of the coaching staff, as well as listening to the veterans
