The Golden State Warriors were the dynasty that not only defined the last decade of the NBA, but perhaps reshaped the sport of basketball as a whole.
With Steph Curry leading the way, the Warriors altered how the next generation of NBA superstars around the world played the sport as the greatest-three point shooter rained deep strikes on opponents from will. The two-time MVP is widely considered the greatest shooter in NBA history and is ultimately credited with revolutionising the sport, moving away from dominant big men in favour of deep shooting.
Armed with elite interior defence from Draymond Green and first-class perimeter hustle in Thompson - who is also one of the best shooters in league history - the Warriors dominated the NBA. Golden State were champions in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2022, while they lost the 2016 and 2019 NBA Finals to the Cleveland Cavaliers and Toronto Raptors respectively.
