What a 2021-2022 season! After two years of pandemic, the NBA finally made it back to its regular set up with 82 games. Golden State Warriors was only ranked 3 in the western conference and yet they were able to climb the ladder and prove to everyone that a healthy Klay Thompson is all they need to continue their dynasty. And hats off to Stephen Curry for his well deserved finals MVP.
Just after the final game, the commentators reminded me that the Golden State Warriors now made it to the finals 6 times in 8 years and they were crowned champions 4 times. And then this came up to my mind. If Klay Thompson was not injured for nearly three years, was it really possible that they continued reaching the finals in straight 8 years? And their defeat to Toronto Raptors was because Klay Thompson and KD were injured otherwise they could've easily beaten Toronto in that series.
They could surely reach that and I think if they continue to nurture their new talents or players I think their potential will surely be unlocked and can get to the finals again, even if Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry, or Draymond Green is not around for 2 or 3 more years, players like Jordan Poole, Andrew Wiggins, Kevon Looney, Gary Payton II, or Jonathan Kuminga could step up to the occasion, but from the past years that the Warriors hasn't become champions because of certain injuries, they surely have rise up to get what they really deserve and looking forward for the next season,
And that's also why Steph Curry was filled with emotion before the game ends and during the time the trophy was about to be given.
That cements the truth that the Warriors team is not about getting a star or filling the roster with stars, it's about teamwork without a doubt, unlike what their critics are trying to portray.
I think this is what critics are thinking.
2014-2015 - Warriors won because Kyrie was injured.
2015-2016 - They lose because Kyrie was healthy.
2016-2017 - They won because of Durant.
2017-2018 - Same as the former year.
2018-2019 - They lose because Durant was injured.
2021-2022 - I want to see what reason these critics will make to make it sound like they are still right.
This year is the sweetest win of all as it seals all the doubts. Steph is definitely one of the greatest of all time.
That emotion was legit after so much struggle and that injury in the play-offs the Warriors were not a complete team without Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, or Stephen Curry, aswell, but I think the drive for the Warriors was because of these three passion to rise to the occasion and the Confidence that Stephen Curry is showing when driving on the paint, that Tenacity and accuracy is what the players of the new generation are looking to do now, and Stephen Curry has solidified that he surely is a unique player through and through,
and I also want to know what the critics would say about them aswell, they can not say because the Brooklyn Nets didn't win against the Boston Celtics, because I think the Boston Celtics really deserve that win because the play of the Brooklyn Nets is easily read by the Celtics, that is why the Playoffs Round 1 game against the Nets was sweeped by the Celtics,
Perhaps the 6 ring will be enough for Curry to accomplished in his career. He has 4 already, Jordan 6 so he needs 2 more. If he keeps being healthy then maybe he can tie the record and leave Kobe and Lebron. But as far as the GOAT in 3PT he has sealed in already, I think his record will stand the test of time. Regarding his body, he has improved a lot, he is so muscular now that he can absorb the force specially when he will go for a layup.
Right now the Boby build of Stephen Curry has tremendously changed, and yes he is more muscular now, gaining strength in pushing the drive inside, was really now easy for him, there could be some minor errors but the analysis is now proven that he is the real GOAT for the point guard, and shooting three's there is no doubt about that,
