Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green have battled against everything and everyone during the 2021-22 NBA season. Theyproved their haters wrong after their 4th NBA championship in their eight-year run in the NBA. TheGolden State Warriors’ Big 3 have made history in Boston on Thursday.

Not only the Warriors are now the third franchise with most NBA championships, but the Dubscreated a dynastyfrom scratch and it will be remember like that. All of them came from their NBA Draft picks, something that is very hard to accomplish in a league where money comes and goes easily.

In fact, the next Warriors’ generation that includes Jordan Poole, James Wisemanand Jonathan Kuminga also comes from the draft. However, the veteran triohas set the bar so high that not even historic trios in the NBA were able to maintain that level of success. Take a look at the example.

Both series have something in common. In both series at least one member of theWarriors’ Big 3 wasn’t present in the starting lineup in at least one of those playoffs games. In 2016, Draymond Green got suspended for Game 5, which led to the Cavs to even things up. Whereas in 2019, Klay Thompson missed Games 3 and 6 due to an injury.

So, whenthe Warriors Big 3 is fully healthy during their playoffs run, the Dubs have a record of 17wins and 0 losses. The most recent win over the Boston Celtics in a 4-2 game series. So next season, iftheDubs’ veteran triohas a good reasonable season within the limits of injuries, the NBA maysee a powerful team again.
