Over the past few years we’ve gotten to see the most beautiful basketball of all time by a team.
It’s a shame that a lot of people hate on them so much for winning that they don’t get to truly realize what they’re watching.

So, did KD ruin basketball because he made the Warriors too good or because he made them worse? It’s getting hard to tell from this thread...

Made them worse?
They won back to back championships after losing the year before...
Is getting hard from telling.

KD doesn't make guys better. Curry does tho.

Not saying they are better w/o KD, but they look harder to guard. Take from that what you will.

I don’t think it’s that Curry is better than KD at all. Curry fits seamlessly in to the Warriors system. Put Curry on another team and ask him to carry the load and it’ll be a different story, he will struggle a lot more playing with a team that isn’t as cohesive and smart. Curry is not better than KD.

Draymond obviously isn't the level of player Curry is, but his importance to the team is right up there with him. Anchors the defense and his playmaking allows for Curry to play off ball where he's most dangerous.
The combo of the two is what makes the team so lethal.

Again who said this? The point is they don’t need him. With him they’d win. Without him they’d win. You guys understanding this basic statement yet?

Nah, you’re forgetting the showtime Lakers, 96 Bulls and the 2014 Spurs. The Warriors launch way too many threes and complain to the refs too much for me to think they’re playing beautiful basketball.
