Remember the SYSTEM in Golden State makes guys like Draymond and Klay look better than they actually are. And Steph Curry doesn't play defense. Their BENCH was a big reason they won 73 regular season games, but what happened in the playoffs? They lost 9 times. Why? Because SUPERSTARS win championships. LeBron and Irving proved to be the better superstars, and the Warriors depth didn't matter as much.
Warriors needed Durant. And the NBA needed Durant to make this decision... because now we'll actually get to have a legitimate rivalry reminiscent of the 80's Lakers vs. Celtics.
