As Steph Curry put it, this one hits different.
They said they didn’t earn that 2015 title because of injuries – and not just to Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, let’s not forget Mike Conley had to wear a face mask for a few games! The 3-1 collapse in 2016 was, of course, a shot of schadenfreude heard around the world. That’ll teach those Bay Area Icaruses. Then Kevin Durant arrived and “ruined” the NBA. The outrage machine was deafening and, at the same time, we were realizing his fit was not-quite-right.
The team we grew up loving, the team that was terrible like clockwork almost our entire lives, was seemingly all at once incredibly good and fun in head-spinning time and still we couldn’t completely enjoy it. Yes, you’d be right to call that a first-world problem. To most rational people, this sort of whining probably comes off as particularly brittle behavior from the blessed. The bottled-up energy of a student arguing with his professor over an A-. But it was a real thing.
That’s why this championship feels, and sorry for the schmaltzy word, special. This may be the best it ever gets and that’s OK. A new beginning or a fitting end, it’s exactly the sort of gutsy, hard-fought win the critics demanded. And now their conversation shifts yet again. The Warriors did it, but what does it all mean? Charles Barkley, a long-time curmudgeon regarding all things Golden State, hedged on whether we can finally refer to this team as a “dynasty” without stipulations. Four titles in eight years?. Four titles in six years? Sure, that would qualify. This sort of arbitrary, off-the-cuff adjudication is a formidable coping mechanism.
