One thing that gets lost in the jokes about how the Golden State Warriors blew a 3-1 lead to the Cleveland Cavaliers during the 2016 NBA Finals is that the Warriors had a 3-1 lead to blow. If Draymond Green's suspension didn't open the door for a comeback—and LeBron James didn't kick the thing off its hinges en route to NBA history—Golden State very well could have repeated as champions.
In the offseason, the Warriors added perhaps the best player in the world not named LeBron James in Kevin Durant.
