Hence, the Warriors dynasty has again gained a second wind. It is to be seen what they will do in the future but for now, Curry and co. will celebrate this title with full gusto. For the last three years, they had to face pitfalls after pitfalls.
Whether it was Klay Thompson being effectively ruled out for almost three years or Curry’s intermittent injuries, they didn’t catch a break for a long time. The Warriors were dead last after the 2019-20 season and couldn’t qualify for the playoffs after the 2020-21 season. The Wiggins trade was looking more farcical than ever but, their comeback this year was thrilling to see.
Some players have congratulated Golden State on their magnificent win. They have recognized how hard the road was for them in the last three years. Here are some of the reactions.
Don’t talk about Steph again unless it’s in a convo with the time great PLAYERS!! And i mean a hand full of people to ever touch a basketball.
