The prestigious “Warriors Wonder” award is consistently and rightfully seized by the MVP’s of the Golden State: Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant. Occasionally, fellow Olympians Klay Thompson and Draymond Green take the trophy home.
It takes a truly magical performance from any other Warrior to wrest this prize from those superstars. It’s going to get even more difficult after Olympian DeMarcus Cousins, the man referee Scott Foster couldn’t even allow to stay on our bench in Madison Square Garden, makes his stomping return from cryostasis.
So how do we give praise to the heroic efforts of the Golden Empire’s ground troops who complement the superstars’ dominance with hard screens, dogged defense, big rebounds, and timely buckets?
