It’s official, the Golden State Warriors have broken the ’95-’96 Chicago Bulls’ record for most wins in a regular season. The thing is they made it look somewhat easy after bolting to a 24-0 start. Golden State has just the right blend of chemistry.
Steph Curry is the best player in the league, but he’s complimented beautifully by Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, Harrison Barnes, and one of the best passing centers in the NBA in Andrew Bogut. Iguodala, Ezili, Livingston, Speights, Barbosa, and Rush make for an excellent bench as well.
A thought for Kevin Durant if he leaves for Warriors, he won’t be the best player on the team. Steph Curry is that player. Durant would have to basically meld into this beautiful blend of players which will probably be absent of Barnes due to free agency.
But the thought of Durant not being the best player on his team isn’t really good for the overall picture of the NBA. You want your marquee players in the league to be featured and leading their own team. Any other team in the league absent of Golden State and Cleveland fills that role for Durant, but not those two teams. He becomes second best in either of those situations, and if I remember that 60 Minutes piece…Kevin Durant said he was tired of coming in second place.
