When the 2014-15 Golden State Warriors won 67 games, they joined the exclusive club of teams to have an average margin of victory (MOV) north of 10 for a whole season, and won the NBA title, the question was raised.
When the 2015-16 iteration won a record 73 games and put a second entry into the 10-plus MOV club (becoming only the third team to ever do so in back-to-back seasons), the question was still up for debate, despite their falling short of winning the title.
Now, after another 67 wins, a record-setting third straight year in the aforementioned MOV club, and one of the most dominant postseason runs ever put together, maybe we finally have an answer to the question that has been on all of our minds for three years now:
Is this Golden State Warriors team -- the 2016-17 version that became NBA champions last night -- the greatest team in NBA history?
