- The Golden State Warriors seem to be on the cusp of a dynasty. Bleacher Report spoke with the team and coaches to discover the secret behind this uniquely talented roster.
The only thing more historic than its record this season is the way in which this team was built. Every piece fits perfectly, and the squad is constructed in a way that some say can never be replicated.
Watch this video for everything you could want to know about the blueprint of the Golden State Warriors.

Dang. While I was enjoying the Big Three on the Heat, a deadly team was being formed and I never paid attention.
lmao bandwagon
Lin Lin Towns k dude
@ Lin Lin Towns Says the one who has 2 NBA teams on his profile pic..
bruh he dumb as hell
he never even said he was a fan of the heat or the warriors...
klay thompson thinking in the interview 'thank god i wasnt drafted by the train wreck that is the sac kings'
Thompson may have changed the scenario you're thinking idiotically
+WhatYouLookinAt he may not have gotten this good without the Warriors with kerr and steff helping him make his release quicker and steff showing him you can shoot way farther than thr 3 point line
+JQAN 28 WOW Are you a warriors fan.....because if you are....you're a bandwagon because you said "steff" wtf it's steph
+Shark B umm no im actually a lakers fan and wanted the thunder to win the finals but they choked
+Jan Piolo well you dont know basketball to understand that a person does better on some teams than others. examples to help u understand paul gasol, to bulls better. isiah thomas, to celtics better. trever ariza to rockets worse. roy hibbert to lakers worse. kevin love to cavs worse. hopefully you can understand that i hope
that's why I love this team.they All drafted and no one can tell nothing about cheating/ teaming like KD Kyrie Harden or LeBron Wade Bosh
The warriors went from a joke of an organisation to an NBA Dynasty....
Sandernista Kevin Durant made them a joke of a different kind. They will always be cowards.
lou Albino If any other team had the opportunity to get durant or cousins they would do so. Dont shame this orginization for improving their roster.
juanto tree That's simply not the case with the warriors. They added the best shooter in the game after they got sonned in the finals by LeBron. They fear balanced competition.
lou Albino “Kd is not the best shooter in the game lol steph is. So your saying an nba team should stop improving every year. wow you would be a terrible gm
lou Albino you should probably delete your comment
Btw Shaun Livingston is more then a back up point, he could start for a team, he is a hard match up, good IQ, a shooter and crazy size for the Point Guard spot.
+Deontray Woodson Ian Clark
+Deontray Woodson I've just checked online, they do still have him although he barely plays, I saw him plays for a couple minutes during the regular season but he did get picked up in the 2015 draft
+Deontray Woodson they had the greatest season ever for a reason
+Deontray Woodson put some respeck on the dark skins😭😭😭😭😭😭
He would not start over curry or thompson
the warriors dodge a bullet with that k-love - klay trade...
And Dwight Howard too
a huge giant ass bullet he only scored 2 points in game 5 of the finals game starting
Twolves actually wanted Klay+Barnes+Draymond. Dodged a missile there.
Yeah. It was Klay+Barnes/Draymond+Dlee actually. But Barnes is useless so it doesn't really matter lol
Until he grabs 14 rebounds to put a nail in the Warriors coffin
back the face cameras up a little bit next time lol
loooooool
loooooool
Lol ikr too much Face Action#HodgeTwins
I actually liked the choice of direction here.
604jackiechan loooooool
I remember a Bleacher Report piece about how not trading for Kevin Love was a huuuuuuuuuuuge mistake that the Warriors front office would regret for years, saying that Klay Thompson was expendable and could be easily replaced. And now BR is the Warriors' number 1 fan. Funny how things work out.
we all make mistakes
Well that's just how it is. If you prove to be successful people will praise you, but if u fail people will add insult to injury.
lmao
They failed to mention David Lee being an essential part of that rebuilding too
Maybe because he is not on the team currently
Ya kinda weird. He was our best player over curry for a few yeara
+Odin666 what. Curry is an all star in 2013 to present. David Lee was acquired in 2013.
great point.The first free agent player in a long time who "chose" to become a dub
Though I liked him a lot, David Lee's injury was another fortuitous thing for the Warriors. It opened the door for Draymond to become the 100% starter at the 4 for them
Who else watching this after seeing the warriors make it to their 4th straight nba final ?
Levi_Schneider me lol
me too looool
Levi_Schneider me..
After winning lol
Levi_Schneider after winning their 3rd nba championship in 4 years.
This video is 7:39 seconds, the warriors record is 73-9....... Illuminati Confirmed
Damn good catch
coded by the numbers
This video 7:38...
Sheeeeeesh,i did not even notice that
GREEEEEEAAAAAAAATTTTT!
Thank God Dwight Howard chose the Rockets!!
🖒
As a Rockets fan I tend to disagree. Glad to see he moving on to another team to destroy.
+DaemonPix he meant that he was glad dwight didnt go gsw or gsw will be fked. lol.
Maybe if Dwight had signed with the Warriors, he could have been a better player. You never know
to bad dwight not a bad player
Forgot the part where they nearly traded Curry to the Celtics for Rondo, but dodged a bullet there. Also forgot where they missed Paul George in the 2010 Nba Draft and picked up Ekpe Udoh instead.
True, dodged a bullet. Jerry West came on-board in 2011 and I don't think he would've passed up on PG13. The logo has a knack for recognizing and developing talent.
pg didnt win most improved for no reason. just no one expected him to do much
Well if they drafted PG in 2010.. Then drafting thompson and barnes will not happen. U never know.
+Archangel Dant oh didn't break out until 2012-2013 season
+Archangel Dant pg**
I was a chef curry fan since Davidson.....but paring him and klay as the splash brothers
Was a genius move.
If Draymond doesn't get suspended, if bogut doesn't get injured, if iggy back doesn't give out on him, and if curry's MCL wasnt torn and they dont lose in the finals then they dont get DURANT another storyline added to this video
3peats curry didn't tear his MCL 😂😂😂
everything has its own timing.. it's beautiful
*sprain*
Zion Brown my bad
EsOhomie14 the difference is you only lost a center (Andrew Bogut) who was averaging 12 minute a game in the finals. While the Cavs didn't have Kevin Love or Kyrie. That's like Golden State without Draymond and Klay. So it's completely different and Golden state just choked.... Steph 17 points in game 7. 1-9 from 3 game 7 LMAO! He's a proven choker. 2 finals in a row he hadn't done shit
A decade full of miracles. Best team ever assembled.
Well they forgot somebody
JAVALEEEEEE MCGEEEEEEEEEEE
A.K.A. Tragic Bronson!
He was on other team it was the Lakers then they trade lobronjames
Da BACON zaza lol
@@florencemukendi5905 this was 2 years ago bruh where he was on them warriors.
And all the haters still hate. I ain't no band wagon but when you see talent like that you can't dislike that Bruhhh
master chief True.
master chief facts
master chief 💯
One of the most unique dynasty rebuilds
Can't believe it's nearly been a whole decade since the Warriors started their build to become what they are now.
Can't even believe Steve Kerr's been doing his thing for nearly 5 years!
After this they added KD, and Boogie. Incredible.
THEY GOT EXTREMELY LUCKY WTF.. Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Bogut, Livingston, ALL flawed players before playing and developing for the Warriors... now of course you have to give it to the coaching staffs and organization and of course players for overcoming their criticisms, but they still are mostly lucky to have had these subpar prospects and veteran wash ups turn out so well for them... ALSO GSW have a top3 crowd and atmosphere (OKC and TO).
Livingston was only "flawed" because of injury
+Matthew Burns same with bogut but he was always a good player
ImageSounds Shaun would have been a multiple time all star if his leg didn't snap in half.
+Matthew Burns yeah.. he was pretty inconsistent as a going guy but always showed glimpes of having a high IQ and a lot of potential. tall long player with good court vision. I still remember seeing his snap and bend awkwardly live on television.
although I dislike golden state, its nice seeing someone like him succeed when there was a chance he could have gotten his leg amputated
I mean, you could say the same thing for any team
I've been a warriors fan my whole life and it was so cool to see the rise from the bottom to the top in this team... I still remember the last game of the 11-12 season we started 5 rookies against the Spurs. Then the next year we upset the nuggets and kept building. Now this team has a chance to go back to back! Go Dubs
Wow, Love this! Clearly this franchise worked for everything they have.. Turned pieces no one else wanted into pure gold!
There's a lot of lessons to learn here, seriously it's pure ignorance to hate on them for the success they now have.
Great piece BR!
I can't wait for the video for the 76er's blueprint for a champion feature.
How's your patience?
I'm a Kings fan actually. so... 65 years since Championship title and they weren't even in Sacramento yet.
I can respect that, but I'm also sorry as well!
lmao you deserve an award for this comment
you were robbed of a chip in 02
Greatest team in the history of the NBA, the best dynasty the NBA has ever seen!
Cole Hodges Spurs Lakers Celtics Bulls
Cole Hodges warriors fan here, but 90s Bulls, 80s Celtics were better.
I definitely have to go with the bulls
I love these videos.
Great content love it
Sadly reminding me of what KD and OKC could have been
exactly
yeah, egos
Ismael Joaquin yeah man KD Westbrook and Harden
Durant didn't want to stay because:
1. He's not from OKC
2. He doesn't like WB's game
3. He has no teammates at OKC besides 2 big ass centers
If they kept harden WB and Harden were gonna end up average not superstars but it still would be the best big 3 in the league
People hate on the Warriors but they built a team the right way. Through the draft. And why wouldn't they wanna pick up a superstar like KD? They play some of the most beautiful basketball I've ever seen. It's all about making others better around them and it's fun to watch
it's just the way the game goes even before when i was to young to understand anything, i remember people hated MJ bulls, hated kobe lakers, lebron heat, it's just the way it is regardless of how a team is built, people who aren't fans of that team will say they hate them
This is a dope team! I love them and hope whenever they retire this same blueprint will continue through new players.
One of the best vidoes I have seen recently, terryfing actually. So many 'what ifs' in this story. Each one of these guys make a small move to the other direction and history could have been totally, totally different for many people. Kind of a butterfly effect, small, even unexpected details could influence on the final outcome. Good luck now with your life's decisions.
The video should be entitled: How the Warriors created the blueprint to blow a 3-1 lead.
johnpaul arnao draymond suspension, bogut injury, iggy back spasms, curry sprained MCL that's how it was created
3peats butthurt
3peats Yeah, and let me guess, the court floor was too slippery, the rim was too narrow, and Curry got blocked by James because his shoes had holes. Come on.
Benjamin Teng You're an idiot.
God WestBrick Well, being an idiot or a GSW fan, it's the same.
Didn't See David Lee In The Video
I know..he was the first above the average player that wants to played for the warriors.
He's not on the team anymore, and he didn't really make a big impact on their championship runs
@andrew oh come on,, last year, he made the championship possible for the warriors. being smart inside, making plays from the post, outplaying the bigs of the cavs.. didn't you watch last years game 4 finals? when GSW is down 2-1?
Official Dru you must be forgetting the finals when he came in and put in work. The only finals yall won
camgot25 I saw his jersey in the video but not his face
B/R please do more videos like this!
great video
Now you say that many all-stars made the all-star game before curry, now you understand that he suffered from injury throughout his early NBA career
Good video! Just zoom out the camera a little bit xD
Portgas D. Ace ikr, the fact that i can see the fine detail of draymond's face is awkward 😂😂😂
Goosebumps..this warriors team made me hook into this game of basketball..
Everytime i watch how warriors build their team in so many times first thing that strikes my mind is this is the great subject for movie
This really was the blueprint......4 time NBA Champions this year, let's goooooooo
People can hate on the Dubs all they want, we DRAFTED!! We didnt run to other teams! And dont bring up KD because we won a championship before him
Bay Area You beat a Cavs team that didn't have Irving and love in the finals,got sonned the next year when they did and then went and got Durant because they were afraid of balanced competition.
Bay Area You went begging him to join the warriors after LeBron sonned them in the finals. They are a bunch of cowards and no one will ever respect them and their legacy is shot.
Bay Area Cowards!
@@taye2427 they did beg him tho
@@jo-glory2267 they didnt beg they had a meeting foh
And now 5 straight trips to the NBA Finals and a three peat is bout to happen good luck matching that p.s much more to come 🙏🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Truly amazing
Some hater say this the luckiest team in history......some call it destiny
Dude the bucks built golden state, the bucks traded to get monta ellis which allowed steph to start. Andrew bogut was traded too to golden state. Finally the bucks past up on drafting klay as well.
you never know if klay thompson woudl have become the player he is today by playing for the bucks.
players have potential, but coaches and team use it and develop it. i dont believe it is just luck or "steal" for the spurs to have had ginobili, parker, leonard, green at such low rank in drafts. they made the players.
Bucks passed up on drafting everyone good besides the Greek freak. And Monte and Curry were both starting together already, it just made curry the main ball handler
Wow
@@MrBdenver very true i mean look at harden if he stayed on OKC and wasn't traded who knows how many more years he would play off the bench and possibly never became the player he is today
Good video
Cool Video
DEFENITION OF REBUILD
Who is watching during the 2018 off season where Kevin Durant resigns with the warriors and Demarcus Cousins signs with the warriors.
Great Team! 🏀
“Never had a big free agent sign with them”
Oh boy just you wait
They didn't need a big 3 to win their first championship.👏👏👏👏
Yann yowane AND they also didn't have to pay the refs or get one of their opponent's key players get ejected. lol
David Yumol exactly bro. Happy new year.🎊
Yann yowane Oh, thanks bro. Happy New Year 🎉
Lin Lin Towns you know haters can be bandwagons too, since you are hating just to fit in! Only curry was an all star at that time, and I bet if you were starting a team you wouldn't put draymond in your starting lineup!
That's because Irving and love were injured. When the Cavs came back healthy the next year to son them in the finals that's when they went out and got Durant like some cowards afraid of balanced competition.
Love them or Hate them, you gotta admit, nobody expected them to dominate the NBA for a few years.
I don't like how the Warriors keep on getting better and getting to the finals constantly but I just love watching this video
Watching this October 29th 2018 and I have to say this is amazing.. shooting for another title
Draymond was right, their team had a looooot of room for growth... Like, room enough to still fit in there the best scoring machine in the league 😂
they did what the thunder failed to do
needed bogut to get passed memphis. gasol and rudolph constantly cominated the paint, needed boguts big body down there. Amazing trade and incredible pickup of iggy to start this thing off. Never thought id see my favorite teams win a ship, now i have three in my life. If the Raiders and Sharks win it all, I can die a happy man
As a cavs fan, I hated the warriors all season, but now that its over and i can just rewatch their highlights, they were nice.
Imagine if the wolves-warriors deal went down
gman dog6 and lebron never went back to cleveland
Tyler Yuen
Or if the dumb ass timberwolves drafted curry when they had two chances instead of getting Rubio and Flynn lol! Idiots
Tyler Yuen Idk man Klay a monster Kevin Love isn't on his level but I feel like if he had Steve Kerr coaching him he could've been that much more amazing with his shooting. We'll never know though.
i cant believe we left 70% of this team for the likes of Javal McGee
thats GSW downfall with Javallll MCGEEEEE
UchawiBeatz2K16 don't worry the GSW is the best team in the league
Todaipower they boutta win another ring
Todaipower
LOL, now JaVale McGee became very effective on the Warriors. A great rim defender and a high field goal effieciency.
While i watch them play, im against them but thank god they are here. I respect that.
The dynasty never left, 1 win away from another NBA Finals.
see everything happens for a reason.
Not for clippers tho
True
I'm not even a Warriors fan. But for all the idiots that keep saying 3-1 about them, they didn't even have their whole team for 3 of the loses. Bogut went down when a knee injury and he's there paint defender and rebounder and LeBron had to cry at the press conference about Green, having him suspended for a game. With all that, it made it 1000% easier for the Cavs to win and once they did they had all the momentum going into game 7. If Bogut and Green are playing Warriors would have taken it in a max 6 games.
The way I look at the 2016 Finals, none of the injuries matter. IT WENT TO 7 GAMES, and both teams had a 50/50 chance of winning Game 7 AT Oracle Arena in Oakland. Now, Draymond played a hell of a Game 7, but in retrospect, I didn't see much from Curry as I would have expected, considering the magnitude of the situation. Plus, you can't say that Andrew Bogut is as indispensable of a player AS Green or even the likes of Livingston, Speights, and/or Barbosa at the time.
My point is, Warriors SHOULD have won in 7.
Parker Bright ok but guess what the warriors blew a 3-1 lead so it don’t matter
Eddie McQuade l
Parker Bright no cavs fan but they werent healthy in 15, finals. No love and irving. Lebron fuckin had nobody. And still took them to six games. So bring that up.
Yeah your right your not a warriors fan your a warriors bandwagoner..
yes its a star driven league, yes they have many stars (and added KD since this) but the blueprint is the fact that the coaches instituted a system the players trusted, acquired players that fit that system and execute it night in and night out.
I remember watching this whole thing build. While everyone was paying so much attention to Lebron on the Heat I was watching Steph and Klay start building some chemistry together. Then when they picked up Iggy I knew they had a chance to make a run for a championship.
I could not believe it when the Minnesota Timberwolves took Ricky Rubio, and then passed on Stephen Curry to take Johnny Flynn. This was the worst draft mistake since Portland took Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan.
Nah since the Pistons selected Darko Milicic over Dwyane Wade who would prevent them from winning a chip
agree
stephen tubbs nah since they took Greg Odem instead of Kevin Durant. Portland is full of draft mistakes aren't they. With Dame and CJ though maybe they finally realized mistakes
J Trippled Odem got injured that was his only problem
stephen tubbs nobody knew how curry was really gonna be. Easy to say now
@Bleacher Report. Why you didn't say anything about David Lee? He was a big part of championship too
or Iggy.
They said about Iggy, not much but they said
Oh I missed it. Lol
I'm mad about it cause Lee and Andrew stay hurts and never played together in playoff
come on man be real he was not a big part
I love this team bruh 💯
As soon as they drafted Klay, who I was following in Washington State, I knew they started something. Been a Warriors fan ever since.
more game of zones, please. hahaha
The video is 7:39 long. The Warriors went 73-9
And didn't win in the finals
@@BAT99-98 bulls did it 🤷♂️
@@BAT99-98 bulls were the best
@@BAT99-98 honestly I wasn't a big warriors fan when I posted this first comment but I really respect them after 2019
Go Golden State Warriors
They drafted 2 guys who are both already the top 2 shooters of all time. Found a gem like Draymond in the 2nd round.
Very hard to replicate.
*THE ATLANTA HAWKS ARE WATCHING THIS VIDEO*
the timberwolves might have a similar story as the warriors
TheGamingBojo no..
they have two first picks, not exactly the same story
TheGamingBojo Initially Jimmy Butler wanted to play with Kyrie and Lebron. It remains to be seen if he can work well with Kat as who will be the future face of Minnesota franchise. Maybe Jimmy will end up somewhere else in 2019?
TheGamingBojo except the warriors drafted green curry and klay
no, just no...
Love em, hate em, warriors will go down in history
man you know what i love! being able to count the blackheads on nba stars cause the camera is so damn close
hahah. the Timber wolves fucked up TWICE IN A ROW!!! 😂
Well they aren't fucking up now
The worst part of it all is no one in Minnesota wanted Rubio and we all wanted Curry....Rubio isn't terrible now, but Flynn is doing the same thing as us, commenting on youtube vidoes, I just don't understand how we passed on him TWO TIMES bruh!!!!
Juwan Davis it worked out for the better tho
They got Jerry West the best GM of all time.
Missed out on David Lee, who supported this team through the hardest times, once a star getting 20/10s on the regular and then quietly accepting role changes in the Warriors to ensure their success.
Respect.
Lol now they got boogie cousins
This video is 7:39 long... 73-9
Livingston one of thee most solid and underrated guards in the league. Not flashy, never turns the ball over, great defense. The number of times he has iced another team's run with his well calculated mid-rangers is one of the main reasons why GSW won a lot of their rings.
" you guys are building something that I wanna be part of" iggy knew
yes he did
how LeBron created superteams: sign him, sign him, sign him, sign him. oh. we're over the salary cap? I don't care. sign him. sign him. sign him...
awsomepossum99 actually the Boston Celtics created the first big 3 with Paul Pierce Ray Allen and KG
and they say the warriors cheated their way to a superteam when 3 of the pieces was pieces they drafted.
Yo... San Antonio spurs has the blueprint of Champs
Christopher Pereira has the blueprint of chocking in the second round and in the first round
Basketball chemistry is vital💯
yep, i remember that being the scary thing of bringing KD in, how was he going to be playing with to all-star starters, because OKC harden came off the bench so it was a different situation
There biggest pickup wasn't the players but Coach Kerr. His offensive game plan changed the whole team completely and fit the players profile excellently
WARRIORS IN 4!! DUB NATION!!!
GIMME DAT RING
😂😂😂😂😂 Bandwagon
Aris Bougadis na man im a true fan since may 2015 #inchefcurrywetrust
LOL, 2015 is when bandwagons were already in full affect in Golden State. The bandwagon fans started coming during the 2014-2015 season. The Non-Bandwagon fans are from the 2013-2014 season and before.
+Daumants Kārklis So you my friend, would be considered a bandwagon fan to most.
But yet people Hate the Warriors where this Team was built not Bought like the CAVS and my Heat smh
If there is one thing that is could be unprecedented is that the Warriors scouting was favoring a certain type of player and skill set to compliment what they got with Klay and Steph. Barnes and Green are both tall and long for their position. Also helps that both can also shoot the three-ball. Iguodala is also long for his position with an even better resume as a defender, though he showed he's better coming off the bench until certain matchups showed itself. This was also consistent with their priority of getting Livingston who was a very tall point guard who can come off the bench. Many other role players they have are also tall wings who can shoot. And this would prove to be pivotal in their kind of position-less basketball where they can still play that kind of defense that suffocates the perimeter and wings while having bigs like Bogut who can protect the rim. Now 3-and-D guys who are long are highly valued in the league with Barnes who will possibly command a team paying him big money this off season.
After 2019 free agent i watch this again :(
How is this team overrated ??? How is Stephen Curry overrated ? He's underrated and underpaid
An t He not underrated he a top 5 greatest point guards of all time
He was underrated, became overrated for a bit on the Warriors, but underrated again because the Warriors are a "bandwagon" team now.
Mark molded that team... Kerr just capitalized on his hard work, he says it in a different way in this video...
I thought exactly the same. He said it himself. The team was already build.
+Arihasy Mark does deserve a lot of credit. But he butted heads with his bosses. Kerr also runs a much much better San Antonio style offense. I don't feel bad for Jackson because he was literally running iso's for harrison barnes, I don't believe they would be as good with him as coach.
+sean14sc really with the discipline they have, other than the showboats at times? Kerr just showed up, he doesn't coach. Luke winning when Kerr was out is proof. Mark put them in the position to win.
If by molded you mean held them back then yea, he molded them, he did an amazing job
+pats4lifebb you have to be joking. Why do you think it baffles people that he is not working as a coach? He took them to the playoffs... You, sir, must be joking.
Fate, destiny and chance! Everything happens for a reason! Dubs
God's blessing showed on this Warriors team
