Me personally picks MJ and Curry as the most impactful players that ever played this game. They've done the things they're doing ahead everyone else. Not based on the number of championships and personal accolades, i think these two are the greatest force to ever grace the NBA. I remember when i was young, everyone wants to be like mike. Today, the kids are hitting threes coz they think they're cool doing it despite low percentages. And we see over the years an increase of bball players who are good at what is Steph is doing. He paved the way for these unathletic and small guys to dominate their games. I used to believe that bball was for big, tall and super athletic guys but Steph totally erased that belief same as AI gave me hope when i was young watching him doing the things he did.

Like the great Bill Walsh said. Champions behave and act like champions before their champions. The Warriors’ players sacrifice(starters coming off the bench, stars sacrificing scoring) is a championship decision, accepting their roles and perfecting them is a championship decision, being coachable is a championship decision, choosing to stay in one place to build a culture instead of leaving to build a super team elsewhere is a championship decision….the result of their championship work ethic, and championship decisions resulted in a championship.

Well said, Colin. The only issue I have is that Duncan would UNDOUBTEDLY be a Top 10, no matter how you cut it. Five championships, Two regular season MVP, Three Finals MVP, 15x All NBA and 15x All Defensive. If he played in a bigger market, eg New York, San Fran or LA, he might have enjoyed the narrative of being on the Mount Rushmore. Duncan was also THE PLAYER every coach/team wanted to have - great offense, great defense, holding down the paint, big time player/big heart, extremely loyal, awesome leadership, very coachable and team player, and galvanized everyone around him. He’s definitely in the Top 5-10 mark.

Skip just spews nonsense for the sake of ratings and views. You can tell even Shannon Sharpe can't stand him sometimes

[@binary]

Skip is literally ruining that show. It sucks because he kind of created the genre. But his agendas have gotten out of control and he's killing his show. First Take is doing a much better job now that they are bringing players on.

Always liked Colin more. Skip doesn’t have any real substance. He doesn’t know much about sports and Colin is far more intellectual.

I do too. Skip speaks facts but then sometimes he feels the need to ignore the obvious and try bashing a person just because. It's unnecessary

My feelings going into the Finals were this, I thought the series would go 7 games. Boston is big, long & athletic, but here's where I knew Golden state would pull it out, they had 123 games of Playoff experience vs. Boston's ZERO. With each game the pressure gets more intense, that's where the championship DNA kicks in. I remember a few weeks ago I was in this local store after our game 1 loss, I had on my Golden State T-shirt. Guys in line started saying "you guys are done, it's over for you." I said, "It's only one game,we'll make adjustments you'll see. Then some guy that worked in the store screamed "GOLDEN STATE IN 6!" I winked at him and left out. I can't describe how I feel right now, I don't care if we don't win another game, I'm satisfied forever with life memories that can't be taken away. Sorry haters but Golden State makes the NBA watchable again.

[@christyson664]

This is a great example of perseverance. So often we talk about the need to “bail” on situations. KD left golden state. Lebron left Miami. Doesn’t mean you can’t win after leaving but when you stay and stick it out not only are the highs that more satisfying but you have a chance to build something for a period of time. Golden state will continue to be here for a while, just like the spurs were with Duncan. Build the foundation and keep guys around you’ll win more over time than taking the short term routes.

[@leonardomoore1868]

@@leonardomoore1868 for sure. Narratives change as events change I don’t doubt that. But the numbers don’t lie. 4 in 8 years is incredible, especially considering they went to 6 in that time. If bucks win next year they deserve credit for doing 2 in 3 year which is also impressive. They too are great for sticking out the highs and lows and not overreacting when they lose like some star players do. Patience is rewarded in sports.

[@christyson664]

@@mr.perfect1749 to his credit it is impressive to go somewhere and take that team to the promise land. But his chips are still viewed as different. Dirks 1 ring probably means more than lebrons heat rings and the lakers ring, only comparable one is the Cleveland ring. So while the media gives praise cuz he earned it by winning there are still levels to how they talk about the rings.

[@mr.perfect1749]

@@christyson664 KD can join two other superstars when they're at they're best ever four years and win more than 3.5 rings what lebron did wasn't impressive. What if MJ Kobe etc team hopped around the league teaming up with other allstars to win people would be criticizing them but the media putting him in the same sentence as MJ is pathetic if he was so good he would've won the right way on his original team he would've done it better than MJ Kobe etc if he's supposed to be better

[@joab757]

I just love to see that their roots, great drafting, developing and coaching are winning out. They were great before Durant, unbeatable with him, but great again without him. So happy to see them get this one, overcoming so much adversity. Their ability to forget yesterday is unbelievable. And we can’t forget how Curry overcame a slump and his recent ankle injury, Klay being out 2 yrs. And has he even been paid? And damn, Wiggins. My boy from Kansas who thought he was gonna win a championship in yr 1 w Lebron, but was relegated to snow and misery. And how can you not love Looney, Payton, and Poole. Who thought they’d be able to out rebound teams? To play with Boston’s defense? Name another super team that broke up and won without their best player. Or a team to fall so far and bounce back. The Kobe Lakers are the closest I can think of. Coming back with Gasol and Odom.

Absolutely correct the warriors figured something out every game and I believe had an answer to every scheme Boston presented.

Smart selfless very talented championship TEAM

[@dales6301]

Excellent commentary! The quality that I hope to hear when I tune in for sports commentary, but rarely do.

[@topcover22]

Colin, I tip my hat to you. This was one of the most well balanced analysis of the 2022 Golden State Warriors. Even after their fourth, there are still chirping from the talking heads that love nothing more than the sound of their own incessant screeching or even to the other extreme where they're ready to foist Steph to sainthood before his career is even over yet. You heard Steph when reporters asked about his MVP (which was important to everyone else but Steph to validate his achievements) he insisted that reporters stay on point that the Warriors won their fourth championship in eight years. There was no false modesty there. It will be their selflessness that will leave their mark on the legacy of the NBA. The Warriors win because they assemble the best team not purchasing a collection of the "best players".

[@rangiedc]

EXCELLENT ANALYSIS 👏🏿💙💛🏀👏🏿

Collin is absolutely SPOT ON in this monologue in highlighting the people in the organization.

[@t.sangrini]

To be the worst team in the league after those 5 straight trips to the finals and being down to the bottom for 2 straight years due to injuries, to turn around a win this quickly with all those new players and rookies that haven't had much time with Steph, Klay, and Draymond all playing together with Klay only almost 5 months back after being gone for 2 years is unimaginable and he's only going to get better from here👀...this finals win was epic and well deserved🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥🏆🏆🏆🏆

[@NightcoreNewbie]

What make GSW so good is that it feels like a band of brothers more than just bunch of teammates. Each player knows theirs roles and are willing to sacrifice for one another and have each other's backs. If one goes down or plays bad, the others know to kick it up a notch and make up for the others. It's the culture of the organization and the other teams try to emulate it but fail because those players are more selfish and aren't willing to give something up for the greater good.
