It’s official: The Warriors are NBA champions. Now is the time to look back at the cast of characters who helped turn them into a 67-win juggernaut with a point differential — in both the regular season and the playoffs — that puts them among the greatest teams in league history. Those who base everything they know on the past are in danger of missing the evolution happening in front of them. All that’s left now for the “jump-shooting team!” crowd is to point out that Golden State needed perhaps the greatest jump-shooter in league history to break some historical precedent that had really already been broken. Hey, no kidding. Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant are among the greatest driver-shooters ever. Shaquille O’Neal and Tim Duncan are two of the best post players ever. Having someone historically great at something is the baseline for winning four playoff series against the best basketball teams in the world. - See more at: https://grantland.com/the-triangle/...ho-defined-the-2014-15-golden-state-warriors/
