The Golden Era | A Golden State Warriors Dynasty (NBA 2K20)

How old is Steve Kerr at this point?

Will you consider resting players down the stretch to prevent injuries since you have good seeding in hand?

Another great record at this point of the season. Kuminga interests me so much, I would love to add him to my Blazers (it's going to take some real life years, though).

Kerr is 66, but annoyingly very early in the dynasty Kerr and a couple other coaches had their likeness, stats and attributes scrubbed, so the in-game roster picture is right but the on-court one all wrong. I think it happened during the transfer but I don’t know.

So in-game he’s only coached for a couple years, but I may just force retire him and a few other original coaches that had that happen to.

But yeah, I’ll sit against non-playoff teams since win/loss record doesn’t matter.

Taking the long view, no kidding. He’s a lot of fun to play with, especially since he’s developed a 3-point shot

It's funny to me seeing Trae in NY. This is incredible man.

Fun fact: I’m a huge Boston Celtics fan and found myself reading this thread from the start pulling for your Warriors during commercials of last night’s Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Just got through the first couple season recaps and man that lotto luck is unreal! I’m hoping I can get some of that luck in my OKC franchise!

Michael Jordan was the GOAT but LeBron James was looking to make a case of his own. James was fresh off of four-straight NBA Finals trips with the Miami Heat, and upon returning to Cleveland had guided the Cavaliers to the NBA’s final stage. On the other end of the court was a new challenger. After James had faced the Spurs in the last two NBA Finals, a group of unproven yet immensely talented shooters had taken the league by storm, having raced to the NBA Finals with massive expectations. Their leader was a diminutive point guard who had just claimed his first MVP. Stephen Curry was an indication of where the league was going, and would help ignite a basketball revolution. Curry was as far from what typically had dominated in the NBA as James was the perfect embodiment. A smooth-shooting guard who entered the league without the handles or playmaking ability perceived to be ideal of the point guard position, Curry had quickly ascended the NBA hierarchy throughout the 2014-15 season, avoiding the ankle injuries that had plagued his career up to that point. But something clicked that season, beyond just health. With Steve Kerr at the helm, a different type of Curry was unleashed, and the NBA would soon be altered in his image. Thanks to Curry’s shooting and floor-altering ability, the Warriors rallied from a 2-1 deficit to take down James and win their first NBA title since 1975. Little did anyone know, but June of 2015 would be the first breeze in a hurricane that would threaten to, and now has, toppled the GOAT from atop the NBA mountain. With a vintage 40-point outburst, Curry lifted the Warriors to a 135-122 victory over the Atlanta Hawks in a deciding Game 7, completing a 3-2 comeback and securing the franchise’s fourth-straight NBA championship and seventh title in the last nine years. The 36-year-old is a long way from the 25-year-old version who won his first title and MVP in 2015, but his ability to impact the game is identical. Curry attacked the paint at will while connecting time and time again from the deep, going 16-for-20 from the floor and 4-for-6 from beyond the arc. And like before, his mere presence adjusted the landscape of the court. Curry ended the night with nine assists, along with the numerous instances in which his mere presence on the perimeter prevented defenders from covering the paint. Early in the second quarter, a 36-28 frame that would give the Warriors the distance they needed, Jonathan Kuminga got the ball in transition with Curry ahead of him, covered by Kyrie Irving. Curry ran to the corner with Irving hot on his tail, opening the paint for Kuminga. As Kuminga drove for the vacant lane, Irving was forced to choose: defend the paint or leave Curry open on the edge. He chose Curry. The gravity that orbits Curry freed the Warriors to shoot openly and with confidence. Anthony Edwards had 32 points on 6-for-8 shooting from deep to go with nine assists, two steals and two blocks. Kuminga ended the night a perfect 7-for-7 from the floor, including 3-for-3 from deep, for 20 points, along with six rebounds and six assists. Curry’s splash brother, Klay Thompson, in his second game back from a sprained foot, ended the night with 16 points on an efficient 6-for-8 from the floor and 2-for-4 from deep. It was Curry who gave the Warriors a lead that at one time ballooned to 19 points. And it was Curry who snuffed out a rally in the fourth. With 7:21 to play, the Hawks fought back and cut the deficit to just eight points. Curry re-entered the lineup and immediately went to work. First, he attacked the rim, blowing past Kyrie Irving and collapsing the defense, leaving Edwards open beyond the arc. On the next possession, Curry used a pick from Ibraham Mobley and dumped it to the rolling big man for two more. Atlanta would respond, getting the game to within nine before Curry unleashed his final triple of the night, putting the lead back to double-digits and out of reach. Despite Irving’s own scoring efficiency (40 points, 17-for-30 shooting), he was no match for Curry on the defensive end, who got to the paint seemingly at will. And when Irving needed a stop to keep the fading flame of a comeback alive, Curry snuffed it out. Throughout the 2023-24 season there was a sense that this would be the last chance for Curry and Thompson to lead a championship team, and with it the last argument for Curry in his debate versus Michael Jordan as the best of all time. Now, Curry has what Jordan never got: a seventh ring and a fourth-straight title. The mountain has fallen. A new GOAT is upon us.
