The warriors took the baton from the spurs and absolutely RAN with it . You love to see it .

[@JT-bs2lm]

Kawhi took the baton from the Spurs. Warriors have a different baton.

[@joe_robloxgameing]

@@JT-bs2lm in what way has Kawhi taken the baton from the spurs. The Spurs showed the league that you can play team ball and win a championship whereas before it was you need a kobe, a shaq, a jordan, a lebron, to win a championship. Kawhi just bitched and left the spurs to go play iso ball with the raptors and then the Clippers.

[@JT-bs2lm]

@@joe_robloxgameing In a way that when they were expecting him to be the next franchise player after the big 3 are about to retire, he left. Until now Spurs are still struggling to be in contender status since he left. also team ball doesn't magically win a championship or else the same best coaches would win every year, they need a franchise player and they lost it with Kawhi. yes team ball helps, but TD in his prime made that team ball look good but he was really a dominant PF on both sides of the floor.

[@joe_robloxgameing]

@@JT-bs2lm exactly why the baton was passed to the Warriors and not Kawhi. You legit made my point for me. The spurs were the team that everyone had to beat to win a championship, now its the same with the warriors, they are the team that you're going to have to beat to win. How was the Baton passed to Kawhi exactly? Kawhi wasn't a superstar talent when they won their chips, and when the big three retired he didn't do anything to help the spurs win, granted he did get injured in 2017. The warriors got the baton from the spurs and the next team that plays team basketball with superstar talent is going to take the baton from the warriors.

its so ridiculous and laughable how these mfs who get paid to talk about stats don't even google them before talking about them. Statmuse would show u he avg'd 27 ppg for all his finals career and after this one its at about 30 ppg lol. Mf's would talk about his finals performances as if he avg'd 16 ppg before this year. The narrative after Kd joined was so disrespectful towards curry.

That steph got as many rings as bron, but all with a single team and 3 of them came by beating bron

[@maxmx767]

Bruh! Amazing!

[@m2dieu]

There was no doubt in my mind that Steph would be able to carry his team to the finals win it in game 6 in Boston and getting his well deserved FMVP. The GOAT! He is a Great Leader, he empowers his teammates to be the best that they can be. Endurance, Good Ethics, and Sustained Excellence!!!!

[@huseynmemmedli6638]

We going back 2 back, watch out🏆

[@Th3WhiteNoise]

My take away is NBA teams can win by drafting smart and being patient with the development of these young men by surrounding the with good vets.

[@travel9two557]

Outside of the big 3 all the others guys a pretty young TBH. They’re future is so bright. They could easily win a couple more in the next 2-4 years honestly.

[@kaiskajani5305]

They can three peat legit and steph can legit be the best pg of all time congratulations what a show what a team what a curry nothing but respect to steph

[@nahshonchettiar2494]

I was actually thinking this when I saw them lift the trophy. If they stay healthy they have a legit chance to three-peat cuz their bench is better than some of the starting 5's in the league.

[@BullyMaguire387]

If Curry continue that performance next playoffs and all of his team and gets better than they are now, man they can repeat! 🥶

[@tommyvo6910]

as a lakers fan i wouldnt want the celtics nor the warriors successful, but respect for both teams . a historic championship run for the warriors topping of Curry's 3pt record, and the young and upcoming boston celtics team that have gotten more experience to contend again.

[@leetraviusmckay2919]

That 21-0 run hurt the Celtics

[@BabylonGateLA]

Jayson Tatum hurt the Celtics

[@adriandaliva1341]

half of that run was with Curry ON THE BENCH LMAO. Imagine being BOS finally scoring after that GSW blitz, only to see Curry get back on the court lmao.

GOOOOOOOOOOO WARRIORS, I LUV U GUYS

[@leetraviusmckay2919]

Steph 34 pts 12-21 FG 7 rebs 7 asts 2 stls

[@respectbegetsrespect6019]

Firstly, great coaching won the championship too. Secondly, Mr. MVP Curry can't and shouldn't be counted out. Thirdly, teamwork makes the dream work! Wiggins, Poole, Draymond, Looney and everyone else contributed tremendously to Mr. Curry's success. They had his back so he could stand and shine in front with that MVP trophy. They got their reward too winning the championship 🏆. Finally, all's well that ends well!

[@christopherpaul7588]

How can these guys keep saying this is the worst Warriors team to reach the finals? I don't get it. They have so much talent up and down the roster, with GP2 and Wigs and Looney who came up so huge in the playoffs, and the big 3 are still in their prime. I don't get it.

[@focrs]

Malika creamed herself when Richard Jefferson said Jordan Poole

[@tianxiaozhang]

Won’t be easy and probably not the most likely but nobody can definitely say they won’t do it again next year…

[@matthewandrews1789]

He was the best 2018 and 2019

[@strawhats100]

And he's not done yet. I believe Steph channeled some of that Mamba Mentality Kobe used to talk about to get this done. Like the great one, Rest his soul, Steph will probably be driven to get another one before it's all said and done (5 rings 2 FMVPs loading...?)

[@jehustrachan6015]

Yes

[@ishaanpitcon4572]

Warriors team is definitely not the least talented they had. Wiggins is a lot better than Barns. Poole is a lot better than Livingstion.

[@jehustrachan6015]

Yea. And they have the best chance of repeating next season.

I mean the KD warriors did not need KD to win. I think KD coming over created the greatest team in the history of the game but we also lost prime warrior basketball years in which we could have left the "superteam" label off our franchise.

[@maxmx767]

The KD Warriors? Warriors never been KD’s team. Has always been Steph’s

[@haveskiswilltravel2164]

@@maxmx767 KD era, KD time with warriors, GSW with KD, Steph's warriors with Kevin Durant playing on the team. However you want to say it my statement stands. The time period in which KD played for the warriors was great basketball from a domination stand point but we lost the purity and poetry that the warriors had before they were a superteam.

Biggest takeaways the window might be closing with Dray & Klay considering how ineffective they were for the most part, but if Poole, Wiggins and the other young pieces continue to develop it can extend Curry's championship window

The biggest takeaways: Steve Kerr's constant tinkering of the lineup rotations ♻ as the psychological means 🧠 to keep players striving to find the best version of themselves and effectively impact winning; also, load managing the time {i.e. games played regular season} to get Klay {32}, Draymond {46}, and Steph {64} healthy ⚕ for the 2022 🏀 playoff season‼
