The Warriors always had players that were considered “underdogs” that showed up at the most important moments. How can any “professional” analysts look over that one most important detail about a Dynasty such as the Warriors.
Oh but now Stephen A is patting himself on the back for saying they will win this season. These “experts” are no better than any of us! Max deserves the credit!
Many of us in the bay area treated the last 2 seasons (prior to this one) with patience... "Let the kids get some experience, cause we're not doing anything till the injuries heal up, and hey, we get a high draft pick". Every loss was "fine" and more about "how did the kids do?" Even in losses you learn a lot and gain experience.
playing time on losing teams is extremely important for young players. if devin booker didn’t get the keys to the offense on those terrible suns teams he most likely wouldn’t have become the star he is today
My thought was let them rest and heal, give the young guys the needed experience and everything will be alright. The only thing I had no clue of what to think was the wiggins move but it went incredible well for us.
The resiliency and mental grit of the team leaders trickled down to all the youngsters. Steph, Klay and Dray are true leaders. The entire team trusts them completely and you can tell when they are on that court.
As a warriors fan, watching this is almost as satisfying as watching them win game 6 in Boston. This championship means so much more than years past because everyone doubted them going in. Well, dub nation didn't.

I was rooting for the Warriors because they are the rare team that has won rings with a core comprised of drafted players in a while. Everyone else tries to pull the "Big three" gimmick with players that never seem to fit together on paper or are stat chasers, and when it does not work, act surprised. I also appreciate that they seem able to develop players and utilize role players in a system that focuses on playing team basketball, a crazy concept I know.
Since NBA started in January I predict Warriors gonna Win the Championship ,And my Basketball friends laughed at me,But I confronted them all they did was humm Well Well😂
@@n-lytics2053 Great content. Kudos to you! And this amazing video reminds me that the wiser guys in this world are those who really know and respect the "time" as a great savant for us, as human beings!
This may be my favorite "Who said what back when" Video. Max Kellerman isn't my Favorite commentators, but Damn. It looks like he's been right more than he has been wrong - Even with his "Steph has to win a Final MVP to secure his legacy" Stance (Which at the time I thought was ridiculous). Well done Kellerman. Respects.👍👍
I don’t believe he deep down actually believed that himself. I really think he just took that stance for media clicks and interest. Just like he doesn’t really believe PAC has a better legacy than Mayweather but he makes that case anyway because it gets people riled up and tuning in.
I think what this championship did more than any of the others was prove how important CULTURE is to winning. We knew about Steph, about Klay, about Dre. When you can bring Andrew Wiggins, and get that kind of production out of him when Minnesota was such a rough go for him? That’s what great culture does. You think he would have excelled on the lakers? On the nets? We all know Steph is huge for that, and he’s the engine that brings it all together, but I do think this chip will really enhance Steve Kerr’s legacy as much as anyone else’s.
Culture starts at the Top. The Owners put the money up to create a championship team, the GM and scouts have the brains to make the right decisions and the coach have the knowledge and heart to bring out the best in the Warriors players. All the players show love for each other, the players know their role, lots of selfless actions, even Steph came off the bench to start the playoffs, there doesn't appear to be any petty dramas.
I like how he said -wiggins as an inferior player than d Angelo (beast defensively and undoubtly the 2nd best player on the team) - a pick that would not help them (Jordan Poole emerging as an all-star) all he said literally became the opposite of what happened
@@HoopsRange I wasn't arguing the point lmao. The fact that it turned into kumingma makes it worse for them, D'Angelo Russell for Wiggins and kuminga 😂😂😂. When the trade happened initially before I learned about the pick, I thought it was a massive steal for us. Wiggins fit perfectly and would be great, for a player that had 0 impact on our team, then to learn we also got a top 3 protected pick outta it seemed like highway robbery
In the words of the great Rudy Tomjanovich, “Never underestimate the heart of a champion.” Guys like Perk come out looking pretty foolish right now. Right on, Max!
it’s crazy how people think that kd was the one who carried the warriors when they’re the one who beat okc in 2016 and won the championship in 2015, kd just happened to be in a already great team in favor of him to get the rings, now that kd’s team got swept in play-off and the warriors win the championship pretty much explained everything
I agree with you. I love KD on the court, but I don't have a lot of respect for him. He could've stayed and built a juggernaut with the Warriors, it's too bad he got that karma a few years later.
It's not that crazy, KD was amazing with the W and he was for all intents and purposes the best player. But when he left they just went back to the old recipe, the recipe that made KD want to come and get rings to begin with.
I remember this take and saying wow. I can't believe I agree with Max kellerman and I also couldn't believe how short-sided everyone became just because people got hurt
No one has ever been more wrong with a sports take than Nick Wright was on the Wiggins trade. Next to Steph Wiggins was the most important player for the Warriors winning the title.
Steph kerr is a god for being able to use wiggins as their kd replacement and win another chip. After evryone said wiggind was good but wasnt going to contribute to winning basketball, kerr got him to buy in and damn.
Aside from Max' infamous takes on Tom Brady and Iguodala, he's always had some pretty reasonable takes and he articulates them with conviction instead of bandwagonning at the last minute like SAS.
"I want Iguodala!" didn't age too badly. He added another ring, even though he barely played. Warriors look better by than the Lakers now! Gold Blooded!
A lot of people questioned why I wanted the Warriors to win it all, and yeah sure they were the favorite to beat Boston, but they were underdogs the entire season. Everybody counted them out, and nothing is more satisfying then an underdog story
Because most thought Warriors dynasty was done, it means Curry's contribution was EVEN GREATER!! Warriors will be even stronger next year and another chance at another chip! So many players will come to Warriors on a minimum deal just for a chance for a title!
In football (soccer) the same type of thing happend with Real Madrid. In the champions league the biggest tourney to win as a club they had to face like 4 super teams and were the underdog in every game they were even down with 2-3 goals against some of them, but they came back every game and won the title its actually pretty insane to see.
Imagine if the Warrior's front office actually gave 2 shits about what the media says .... amazing to see these Warriors shut the haters up once and for all. The Dubnation summer of pettiness begiiiinsssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s OK to be wrong, it’s just when they are so passionate and so off they look like jokes. Think about this guys, they make millions for making those takes.
I think the most vital part of it is the players like Andrew, JP3, Kevon, GP2 and the others who worked with Steph, Klay and Draymond in order to win this ring so props to the guys who provided key roles to take over the championship. Kellerman predict it well.
This video is not just for the warriors. It's for any team that believes in themselves while the world doesn't. Heck, it's for anyone, any sport team or individual, also in other aspects whether that be in business, life etc.
This team’s play style ages well enough and is tailor-made for today’s game. They weren’t going anywhere before, and they ain’t going anywhere in the future.
The fact that they based all the opinions on the Lakers (the super team that didn’t even make the playoffs) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 is more hilarious than that Warriors being done
To be fair some of the takes were from 2019 and the Lakers did win a chip but yeah... To say the Warriors would never win again because the core was aging and there was no depth and then turn around and say Lakers would dominate (a team with no depth and Lebron who is older than the Warriors) was pretty stupid and just showed their biases.
@@cameronsimmons8743 Maybe. Maybe not. You don't have a crystal ball. I don't feel KD nor LeBron are as invested in their teams as they are in their personal legacies. When communication breaks down, KD scrambles and goes to his burner accounts. LeBron tries to be a player and a GM. That approach doesn't work. Miami didn't let LeBron take over the culture. And that's as happy as I ever seen him. Btw, you don't have to insult someone to disagree with them. These are hard times and kindness goes a long way. God bless you
This is great. Something I constantly reiterate is that these mainstream media prognosticators can say anything about the future of franchises and not be held accountable...because who is going to remember? One thing we learned from the Warriors winning this one is that in the aftergame interviews, Steph, Klay and Draymond remembered all of it and used it as motivation....really thankful to the producers of this video (are you guys Dubs fans?) putting in the work to go back and remind us what was said...another victory the internet and YT over mainstream media. Whoa, Max comes out looking like a sage...."one (such as a profound philosopher) distinguished for wisdom."
Yes, back in the mid 10s. GSW was one of those teams that only happen once every 10 years or so. When they got injured and lost KD + their depth. I didn't think they lost who they were. I always thought if they built around Curry, Thompson, and Draymond like before. They would have a shot. If you remember in 2015. Their bench was almost as good as the starters as far as production. They ran an offense that was one step ahead of everyone else. So if they found those same pieces. Why couldn't they do it again? 2015 depth: Barnes, Bogut, Barbosa, Livingston, West, Speights, Iguodala, etc. 2022 depth: Wiggins, Looney, Poole, Bjelica, Payton, Porter Jr, Kuminga, etc. I honestly think the system brings out the best out of players who are out to prove something. Both lists are full of players who had nowhere else to go but bought in and lasted years more than if they were on other teams.
The 2022 bench might not score as much as the 2015 bench, but defensive wise, they are better and younger. Can't wait to see the development for Kuminga, Moody and Wiseman next season.
^^ this is a take from someone who's actually watched and followed the Warriors. no bandwagon fan. when they brought in KD, they lost their depth. the top of the roster was too strong for the rest of the league, but it was unsustainable (a couple injuries, and they had the worst record in the NBA). they're finally getting back to Strength in Numbers. not even injuries could stop them (GPII in the playoffs, Klay only getting back to the team in January, Draymond's back injury, Steph starting the playoffs hurt and coming off the bench, Iggy hardly touching to court, Wiseman not even on the active roster...)
@@MKW288 Lol what's funny is I'm a Miami Heat fan. But I've always liked the warriors. But it would be really cool to see more of their young players blossom and GSW win a couple more while Curry is still Curry
I agree on all u said but best team to me was spurs with kawhi sorry. Nba made dirty moves like pachualia with kawhi thats one! And this finals boston vs golden was a damm joke !!!! Nba mess up bad. Worst final ever in nba sorry just being honest n real here!!!!!!!!!! N no golden won win after this cheap ass ring meaning nothing cux they beat no one sorry thats reality!!! Kawhi is next!!!
As I DIE HARD fan….I knew in my heart we would be back. I’m an athlete my self so the Duns were only healing and getting stronger. I love the fact EVERYBODY counted Golden State out. I LOVE IT. Klay is cashing in on all those receipts…..
When Curry was getting back into his half court 3 making frenzy it was pretty obvious that the Warriors had a chance. Curry is the best system player to play in the NBA.
As a Minnesota fan watching Andrew Wiggins could be very frustrating. But it was undeniable he had so much talent and is the type of player that’s probably the most valuable type in the league today, who can guard wings and switch onto anyone, gives you size and always was a guy who could score 15-22 points a night. He’s just not a #1 option on a great team and idk if he or the Wolves were ever gonna figure that out. But now with Edwards and the rest of our roster the way it is, Wiggins is exactly the type of player we need to get to the next step
This was amazing to watch thank you for making this. Shows how brittle these opinions are. They proved so many doubters wrong in the best way possible.
This just proves that no matter what people say you can’t give up and that is exactly what Klay and the Warriors did, they won the championship for Christs sake the dynasty is not over.

People used to make fun of the man when he said certain things but Max is a real one and that's my guy. Respect goes out to him. He was right and even if he wasn't a warrior's fan he never doubted them. A true g
That's because max looks from a logical perspective and observes the game thoroughly while everyone else looks from an emotional point of view. The only thing I hated that max did was worship Jordan. Other than that, he always observed with depth. I'd be the contrarian with people I talk to and they'd ridicule me the same way people do him. It was funny eventually seeing people warm up to him as opposed to siding with SAS. Max was the only real reason I continued watching First Take.
@@bandito241 5 years ago I would've taken Iggy over Steph to take the game winning shot in a finals game as well. We've seen him hit that shot, and we've seen Steph struggle with his shot at moments in the finals too.
@@jermainepaki6767Still 5 years ago, the only player that shot at a better % in the clutch than Steph was LeBron. The media just created false narrative without looking at the stats.
@@jermainepaki6767Even without even counting the 2022 finals, Steph average more ppg, rbg, apg with better fg%, 3p% and ft% than Kobe, but no one calls Kobe a bad finals performer.
I think what no one has seen coming is how good Wiggins has become. He was considered a poison contract couple yrs ago fcs. GSW couldn't have won without Wiggins performance.
That's why the checkbook take from the hot air balloon was so bad. This team is full of players any other team could've had before they came to the Warriors, and the one big contract player they traded for was a "bust" on the worst contract in the NBA
Poison contract from other teams yes but definitely a gold mine from GSW's culture. Reason why analysts & pundits most of the time have overlooked the beauty of its process as they so enamored by Lebron's style of team formation. This championship is sweet by any standards knowing that each player is on the same page may it be superstars & role players alike.

The Warriors always had players that were considered “underdogs” that showed up at the most important moments. How can any “professional” analysts look over that one most important detail about a Dynasty such as the Warriors.
Oh but now Stephen A is patting himself on the back for saying they will win this season. These “experts” are no better than any of us! Max deserves the credit!
flip flopper
Nah, Max was always just taking the opposite take to Stephen A. That was his job. Once he got away from that show he was always against the Warriors.
Real hoop fans don't take these guys seriously... It's just entertainment.
Stephen A picked GS over Boston. He was right.
Max Kellerman is okay when it comes to basketball but you can't tell him jack shit when it comes to boxing
I appreciate the effort it took to make this video going through all of those clips.
Thanks, appreciate you for viewing!
Max was 100% acurrate in this one!! Everything he said happened!!
Factual & crazy how many overlooked that
Many of us in the bay area treated the last 2 seasons (prior to this one) with patience... "Let the kids get some experience, cause we're not doing anything till the injuries heal up, and hey, we get a high draft pick".
Every loss was "fine" and more about "how did the kids do?" Even in losses you learn a lot and gain experience.
playing time on losing teams is extremely important for young players. if devin booker didn’t get the keys to the offense on those terrible suns teams he most likely wouldn’t have become the star he is today
THATS LITERALLY WHAT ALL REAL GSW FANS SAID… ONCE THE BABY SQUAD GETS UP TO SPEED ITS A WRAP
My thought was let them rest and heal, give the young guys the needed experience and everything will be alright. The only thing I had no clue of what to think was the wiggins move but it went incredible well for us.
The resiliency and mental grit of the team leaders trickled down to all the youngsters. Steph, Klay and Dray are true leaders. The entire team trusts them completely and you can tell when they are on that court.
As a warriors fan, watching this is almost as satisfying as watching them win game 6 in Boston. This championship means so much more than years past because everyone doubted them going in. Well, dub nation didn't.
Dead ass man! It's crazy the shit they talking about R team
Now they saying warriors winning another after Celtic game shows how the quick jump ship
@@themollymachine ya'll just spent 346 million on your roster this year, more than THREE TIMES that of the Celtics (112m). Who the fuck are ya'll kidding 🤣
@@idancemyassintothepaint7571 because of luxury tax. That itself is as much as the players salaries.
Even with the salaries no one had them winning except a handful of people, who were looked at as crazy. People looked at this team as guys with a bunch of bad contracts. Injured Klay, Triple Single Dray, bust Wiggins, etc. Curry was slumping too. Get out of here with that.
@@idancemyassintothepaint7571 we got the best in the nba... They have to get paid now.
So what's are saying? You sound real dumb
I was rooting for the Warriors because they are the rare team that has won rings with a core comprised of drafted players in a while. Everyone else tries to pull the "Big three" gimmick with players that never seem to fit together on paper or are stat chasers, and when it does not work, act surprised. I also appreciate that they seem able to develop players and utilize role players in a system that focuses on playing team basketball, a crazy concept I know.

I'm utterly shocked that people really thought he would never win again. that's CRAZY

Bring ALL the receipts! 😯 Great clip. It's crazy, everything Kellerman said was on the nose. Right down to Russell not being there for long.
This may be my favorite "Who said what back when" Video. Max Kellerman isn't my Favorite commentators, but Damn. It looks like he's been right more than he has been wrong - Even with his "Steph has to win a Final MVP to secure his legacy" Stance (Which at the time I thought was ridiculous). Well done Kellerman. Respects.👍👍
I don’t believe he deep down actually believed that himself. I really think he just took that stance for media clicks and interest. Just like he doesn’t really believe PAC has a better legacy than Mayweather but he makes that case anyway because it gets people riled up and tuning in.
Congratulations Golden State Warriors for becoming 2022 NBA champions... And most importantly shutting up the naysayers
I think what this championship did more than any of the others was prove how important CULTURE is to winning. We knew about Steph, about Klay, about Dre. When you can bring Andrew Wiggins, and get that kind of production out of him when Minnesota was such a rough go for him? That’s what great culture does. You think he would have excelled on the lakers? On the nets? We all know Steph is huge for that, and he’s the engine that brings it all together, but I do think this chip will really enhance Steve Kerr’s legacy as much as anyone else’s.
Dre or Dray?
Culture starts at the Top. The Owners put the money up to create a championship team, the GM and scouts have the brains to make the right decisions and the coach have the knowledge and heart to bring out the best in the Warriors players. All the players show love for each other, the players know their role, lots of selfless actions, even Steph came off the bench to start the playoffs, there doesn't appear to be any petty dramas.
L take
the fact that Steph Curry came off the bench
@@garfieldheathcliffe5535 really?? Cmon man
Wildest part of this video is how different Poole looked when he got drafted
I was thinking that as well!
Max, went to the max with that prediction!!! Gaddaaammmm time traveller!!!
Aged so gracefully!
I like how he said
-wiggins as an inferior player than d Angelo
(beast defensively and undoubtly the 2nd best player on the team)
- a pick that would not help them
(Jordan Poole emerging as an all-star)
all he said literally became the opposite of what happened
The pick we got from Minnesota turned into kuminga
@@ghost22177 point stands
@@HoopsRange I wasn't arguing the point lmao. The fact that it turned into kumingma makes it worse for them, D'Angelo Russell for Wiggins and kuminga 😂😂😂. When the trade happened initially before I learned about the pick, I thought it was a massive steal for us. Wiggins fit perfectly and would be great, for a player that had 0 impact on our team, then to learn we also got a top 3 protected pick outta it seemed like highway robbery
@@ghost22177 would hurt a lot more if James wisemen actually become a superstar

In the words of the great Rudy Tomjanovich, “Never underestimate the heart of a champion.” Guys like Perk come out looking pretty foolish right now. Right on, Max!
Perk can only see things as a passenger, he was never the bus driver lol
Perkins was a football player masquerading as a basketball player. He was just a bully off the hall.
Max is sht too. He has many MANY takes shitting on the warriors.
Perkins had 0 good takes and needs to lose weightlol looks odd
it’s crazy how people think that kd was the one who carried the warriors when they’re the one who beat okc in 2016 and won the championship in 2015, kd just happened to be in a already great team in favor of him to get the rings, now that kd’s team got swept in play-off and the warriors win the championship pretty much explained everything
@John Smith we didn't NEED kd we wanted him n got him it's a big difference
I agree with you. I love KD on the court, but I don't have a lot of respect for him. He could've stayed and built a juggernaut with the Warriors, it's too bad he got that karma a few years later.
👍👍👍💥💯
It's not that crazy, KD was amazing with the W and he was for all intents and purposes the best player. But when he left they just went back to the old recipe, the recipe that made KD want to come and get rings to begin with.
KLAY U soo right, and U weren't even a 💯 yet and DUBS won the Chip!!!😍🥰🤩🏆🏆😘
I remember this take and saying wow. I can't believe I agree with Max kellerman and I also couldn't believe how short-sided everyone became just because people got hurt
This was amazing. Thank you
No one has ever been more wrong with a sports take than Nick Wright was on the Wiggins trade. Next to Steph Wiggins was the most important player for the Warriors winning the title.
Wiggins literally won them one of those games, and was consistent throughout.
Steph kerr is a god for being able to use wiggins as their kd replacement and win another chip. After evryone said wiggind was good but wasnt going to contribute to winning basketball, kerr got him to buy in and damn.
@@dominikgose6770 he was more of a Harrison Barnes replacement and the team reverted to a more 2016 style which was the most fun to watch.
@@bqproductions7448 yeah but he was an upgrade. Harrison Barnes was great but Wiggins add that’s extra oomph due to his clutch perimeter defense.
Draymond is the new Bill Russell
In terms of being unheralded, facilitator, eye of the storm
Aside from Max' infamous takes on Tom Brady and Iguodala, he's always had some pretty reasonable takes and he articulates them with conviction instead of bandwagonning at the last minute like SAS.
"I want Iguodala!" didn't age too badly. He added another ring, even though he barely played. Warriors look better by than the Lakers now!
Gold Blooded!
Iguadala actually in the top 20 all time buzzer beater in playoffs 😂 so it was actually a logical take.
@@narz7573 Max is super logical with his takes. A lot of commentators allow their personal feelings and biases show.

Well put together vid - thanks for sharing
Appreciate you for watching!
That last clip of klay will be in a documentary one day…
A lot of people questioned why I wanted the Warriors to win it all, and yeah sure they were the favorite to beat Boston, but they were underdogs the entire season. Everybody counted them out, and nothing is more satisfying then an underdog story
Spot on analysis by Kellerman
Never ever doubt the heart of a champion
Because most thought Warriors dynasty was done, it means Curry's contribution was EVEN GREATER!! Warriors will be even stronger next year and another chance at another chip! So many players will come to Warriors on a minimum deal just for a chance for a title!
Great job putting this together
In football (soccer) the same type of thing happend with Real Madrid. In the champions league the biggest tourney to win as a club they had to face like 4 super teams and were the underdog in every game they were even down with 2-3 goals against some of them, but they came back every game and won the title its actually pretty insane to see.
As much as I don’t like either team you have to respect their championship pedigree a winning team knows what they have to do to get the job done
Imagine if the Warrior's front office actually gave 2 shits about what the media says .... amazing to see these Warriors shut the haters up once and for all. The Dubnation summer of pettiness begiiiinsssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome to the Warriors Invitational 😈
All aboard the petty train 🚂🤣😂
Great work Brother 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This video was so satisfying to watch.
I love this video!
Respect for my man bro. As a warriors fan, I didn't think that the warriors were not gonna win a championship.
It’s OK to be wrong, it’s just when they are so passionate and so off they look like jokes. Think about this guys, they make millions for making those takes.
the producers tell them what to say, thats why i watch these shows for entertainment and i dont take them serious
“I believe they will win another championship at some point”
*wins again almost immediately*
Counting the receipts of all the haters. Man this definitely was the Sweetest chip of all time 😎
I think the most vital part of it is the players like Andrew, JP3, Kevon, GP2 and the others who worked with Steph, Klay and Draymond in order to win this ring so props to the guys who provided key roles to take over the championship. Kellerman predict it well.
This video is not just for the warriors. It's for any team that believes in themselves while the world doesn't. Heck, it's for anyone, any sport team or individual, also in other aspects whether that be in business, life etc.
This team’s play style ages well enough and is tailor-made for today’s game. They weren’t going anywhere before, and they ain’t going anywhere in the future.
The fact that they based all the opinions on the Lakers (the super team that didn’t even make the playoffs) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 is more hilarious than that Warriors being done
LeBron doesn't have the maturity and patience to invest in his teammates and culture.
To be fair some of the takes were from 2019 and the Lakers did win a chip but yeah... To say the Warriors would never win again because the core was aging and there was no depth and then turn around and say Lakers would dominate (a team with no depth and Lebron who is older than the Warriors) was pretty stupid and just showed their biases.
@@dreamchaser5758 if they were healthy the Lakers would've won again. Get your facts straight before you talk basketball son . 💯
@@cameronsimmons8743 Maybe. Maybe not. You don't have a crystal ball. I don't feel KD nor LeBron are as invested in their teams as they are in their personal legacies. When communication breaks down, KD scrambles and goes to his burner accounts. LeBron tries to be a player and a GM. That approach doesn't work. Miami didn't let LeBron take over the culture. And that's as happy as I ever seen him. Btw, you don't have to insult someone to disagree with them. These are hard times and kindness goes a long way. God bless you
You'll sound stupid when LeBron wins again. He has 4 rings for a reason
This is great. Something I constantly reiterate is that these mainstream media prognosticators can say anything about the future of franchises and not be held accountable...because who is going to remember? One thing we learned from the Warriors winning this one is that in the aftergame interviews, Steph, Klay and Draymond remembered all of it and used it as motivation....really thankful to the producers of this video (are you guys Dubs fans?) putting in the work to go back and remind us what was said...another victory the internet and YT over mainstream media. Whoa, Max comes out looking like a sage...."one (such as a profound philosopher) distinguished for wisdom."
Great edit, especially that Curry frame added at 2:22, lol. You know the Warriors heard all this chit chat. They answered.
Max Kellerman deserves some credit for getting this right years ago
I like these throwback clips good content
Thanks!
Yes, back in the mid 10s. GSW was one of those teams that only happen once every 10 years or so. When they got injured and lost KD + their depth. I didn't think they lost who they were. I always thought if they built around Curry, Thompson, and Draymond like before. They would have a shot.
If you remember in 2015. Their bench was almost as good as the starters as far as production. They ran an offense that was one step ahead of everyone else.
So if they found those same pieces. Why couldn't they do it again?
2015 depth: Barnes, Bogut, Barbosa, Livingston, West, Speights, Iguodala, etc.
2022 depth: Wiggins, Looney, Poole, Bjelica, Payton, Porter Jr, Kuminga, etc.
I honestly think the system brings out the best out of players who are out to prove something. Both lists are full of players who had nowhere else to go but bought in and lasted years more than if they were on other teams.
The 2022 bench might not score as much as the 2015 bench, but defensive wise, they are better and younger. Can't wait to see the development for Kuminga, Moody and Wiseman next season.
@@neogenesus they were strong for sure. They didn't mind doing the dirty work because they believed it would lead to a win.
^^ this is a take from someone who's actually watched and followed the Warriors. no bandwagon fan. when they brought in KD, they lost their depth. the top of the roster was too strong for the rest of the league, but it was unsustainable (a couple injuries, and they had the worst record in the NBA).
they're finally getting back to Strength in Numbers. not even injuries could stop them (GPII in the playoffs, Klay only getting back to the team in January, Draymond's back injury, Steph starting the playoffs hurt and coming off the bench, Iggy hardly touching to court, Wiseman not even on the active roster...)
@@MKW288 Lol what's funny is I'm a Miami Heat fan. But I've always liked the warriors. But it would be really cool to see more of their young players blossom and GSW win a couple more while Curry is still Curry
I agree on all u said but best team to me was spurs with kawhi sorry. Nba made dirty moves like pachualia with kawhi thats one! And this finals boston vs golden was a damm joke !!!! Nba mess up bad. Worst final ever in nba sorry just being honest n real here!!!!!!!!!! N no golden won win after this cheap ass ring meaning nothing cux they beat no one sorry thats reality!!! Kawhi is next!!!
Max was 100% on point.💪🏾
thats why stephen a couldnt handle him.
Im a celtics fan from birth but i told buddies @ work that this was inevitable...love watching this team play...not even mad!
I’d love this to start another back to back 🦾
As I DIE HARD fan….I knew in my heart we would be back. I’m an athlete my self so the Duns were only healing and getting stronger. I love the fact EVERYBODY counted Golden State out. I LOVE IT. Klay is cashing in on all those receipts…..
When Curry was getting back into his half court 3 making frenzy it was pretty obvious that the Warriors had a chance. Curry is the best system player to play in the NBA.
Never underestimate the heart of a champion!
Love the editing great job
Max is amazing. Talks boxing and basketball with confidence.
When the Warriors had KD they actually had a better W-L record when he did not play.
As a Minnesota fan watching Andrew Wiggins could be very frustrating. But it was undeniable he had so much talent and is the type of player that’s probably the most valuable type in the league today, who can guard wings and switch onto anyone, gives you size and always was a guy who could score 15-22 points a night. He’s just not a #1 option on a great team and idk if he or the Wolves were ever gonna figure that out. But now with Edwards and the rest of our roster the way it is, Wiggins is exactly the type of player we need to get to the next step
It is poetic that after trading Wiggins, you draft Ant to only realise that he was an ideal pairing with Wiggins. Life is really ironic.
This was amazing to watch thank you for making this. Shows how brittle these opinions are. They proved so many doubters wrong in the best way possible.
I can honestly say I’ve never given up on these guys, I knew they would come back 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔥
Damn good Video🥃
This just proves that no matter what people say you can’t give up and that is exactly what Klay and the Warriors did, they won the championship for Christs sake the dynasty is not over.
How could the Warriors be over? They still have Andre Iguodala. He is the most clutch player of all time
Not still, but he just came back this season. He barely played though due to injuries, but his impact was guiding Wiggins and GP2
I want IGUODALA!

i love all the receipts

Max was on point, he even knew D'Angelo was just a trade asset
Max was the only one from out of all of them that got the take right. That's why I fucks with Max. People used to make fun of the man when he said certain things but Max is a real one and that's my guy. Respect goes out to him. He was right and even if he wasn't a warrior's fan he never doubted them. A true g
That's because max looks from a logical perspective and observes the game thoroughly while everyone else looks from an emotional point of view. The only thing I hated that max did was worship Jordan. Other than that, he always observed with depth. I'd be the contrarian with people I talk to and they'd ridicule me the same way people do him. It was funny eventually seeing people warm up to him as opposed to siding with SAS. Max was the only real reason I continued watching First Take.
Max has always had good takes, seems like the most informed person in sports media.

@@jimmydebus3717 they made a mistake
This is actually so on point
Good video my bro keep it up. You earned my sub
I think what no one has seen coming is how good Wiggins has become. He was considered a poison contract couple yrs ago fcs. GSW couldn't have won without Wiggins performance.
That's why the checkbook take from the hot air balloon was so bad. This team is full of players any other team could've had before they came to the Warriors, and the one big contract player they traded for was a "bust" on the worst contract in the NBA
@@Ishai1 lol @ hot air balloon
Poison contract from other teams yes but definitely a gold mine from GSW's culture. Reason why analysts & pundits most of the time have overlooked the beauty of its process as they so enamored by Lebron's style of team formation. This championship is sweet by any standards knowing that each player is on the same page may it be superstars & role players alike.
That last answer from Klay Thompson at the end of video is chilling.
