I still can’t believe the Warriors really won 73 games (alien.top)

I know it’s happened and this is probably the least interesting post ever but when I reflect on recent NBA history, it is still shocking to me what happened that year. I never thought it would be remotely possible. It was just a record that could never be touched.

And yet it really happened. I don’t think it gets enough credit because of the “it don’t mean a thing without the ring” piece but as time passes, I gotta say it’s just a standalone incredible achievement.

The fact that the last 30 games of the season they were the target for every team, no one wanted to see them do it, and they still did it. It’s incredibly impressive.

It's such an amazing feat no matter how the season ended for them.

I remember the 2020 Bucks being like 54-8 at one point and that is nothing compared to GSW

I think that all of the players would trade the win record for the championship, but I don't know if I agree. The 2016 Warriors were appointment viewing. Every single game was like a playoff game. Draymond was 2nd team All-NBA and 7th in MVP voting. Curry was (deservedly) being compared to Michael Jordan, and placed 4th in MIP voting after winning MVP the previous season.

We'll never see anything like it again.

2020?

They were 41-6 at one point.

They were 24-3 at one point and I thought they were on pace to also reach 73.
