All Hail The Warriors. Why A Golden State NBA Championship Is Good For The Game

Golden State ends a 40 year championship drought by playing fun, fundamental basketball.

I fell in love with Golden State last year and though I won't pretend I had them pegged as NBA Champions. I knew going from Mark Jackson to Steve Kerr was a significant upgrade, eschewing the Kevin Love trade was the right move for chemistry and salary cap (as well as an insightful bet on Klay Thompson's development) and compiling a bunch of selfless skilled guys who understand basketball usually results in good things. It turns out the Warriors created one of the better teams in NBA history.
