It’s hard to find an NBA fan without any strong feelings towards the Golden State Warriors. Either you love them or you hate them. There generally isn’t anything in between.
With the mild-mannered Harrison Barnes starting at the small forward position, the 73-win Warriors were already becoming the bad guys of the NBA. Steph Curry’s celebrations with three-pointers in midair and Draymond Green’s perfect press conferences don’t necessarily enthuse non-Golden State fans. When you didn’t think it could get worse, it did.
They signed Kevin Durant and thus became the representation of everything that’s wrong with the league.
