“They keep going up. You think about the young guys they have.... They have a good surplus of talent” - 2-time All-Star believes Golden State Warriors won't relinquish top spot anytime soon
Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors had an incredible 2021-22 NBA season that culminated in a championship. They defeated the Boston Celtics 4-2 in the finals to clinch their first title since 2018.
Records broken.
Trophies won.
What an iconic season for @StephenCurry30 ⚡️ https://t.co/x4tyWbAPrL
To many, the Warriors dynasty is back. However, others believe it might be difficult for them to continue winning considering how strong the other teams are.
However, former Warriors guard Baron Davis doesn't believe the Warriors will get knocked out of top spot anytime soon. On "SiriusXM NBA Radio," the former All-Star said:
"They keep going up. You think about the young guys they have, [Jonathan] Kuminga, [James] Wiseman, [Moses] Moody, [Jordan] Poole is young, [Kevon] Looney is still pretty young. They have a good surplus of talent. They're gonna get better in free agency.
"Steph Curry is a legend amongst legends, he's a pioneer, and a juggernaut in this game. I just think that they play basketball in a way and a style that makes you conform to their style, and if you play their style of basketball you're gonna lose."
"They have a good surplus of talent…they’re gonna get better in free agency"

While every player has a key role on the team, there is always an opportunity to get better. However, it goes without saying that Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green will return.
Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors have dominated the NBA since 2015
Since 2015, the Warriors have dominated the NBA Finals, winning four titles in six appearances. Although they missed the playoffs in 2020 and 2021, they reasserted their dominance in the recently-concluded 2021-22 season.
only one word can describe the championship parade

After being stopped by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016, the Warriors won back-to-back titles in 2017 and 2018 with Kevin Durant leading the charge.
The Warriors were the favorites to win the 2019 title as well, but missed out on a three-peat. Durant and Thompson suffered injuries in the finals against the Toronto Raptors, with Durant playing just 12 minutes and Klay Thompson missing Game 3 as well as the end of Game 6.
11-1 on Warriors Ground 🏡
Chase Center had the best home record in the postseason, #DubNation did that https://t.co/WcPtJUhDi2
It will be interesting to see how things pan out for the Warriors next season. The main focus will be on Curry and whether he can lead the Warriors to another championship.
