Steph Curry makes bold statement about NBA dynasties after Warriors’ big 3 breakup

Whether it be the Celtics of the 60s, Lakers of the 80s or Bulls of the 90s, the NBA has long been built on its dynasties.

In more recent years, the Golden State Warriors, led by the trio of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, formed a new dynasty by appearing in six NBA Finals, winning four of them.

Their run in the Bay Area ended last week after Thompson signed with the Dallas Mavericks, and now his former “Splash Brother” is making some strong statements about the future of dynasties in the NBA.

More specifically, Curry believes that what the team accomplished won’t be replicated again.

“I mean, obviously defining a dynasty can take on a lot of different looks,” Curry told ESPN. “People thought this was over in 2019, but 2022 was an amazing championship because we defied the odds. ...That’s 11 of almost 12 years of championship relevancy built around a certain core. I don’t think [it will be replicated] just because it’s very hard to keep things together in this league. A lot more player movement. Me, Klay and Draymond, we complemented each other so well for so long. We all brought something different to the table, so we’ll see. Records are meant to be broken. Dynasties come all different shapes inside of us so we’ll see.”

In total, the Warriors’ trio played in 720 games together, winning 4 NBA championships in 6 appearances, 98 playoff games in 23 playoff series and 420 regular season games.

They made 19 combined All-Star games and Curry won two NBA MVP awards. The trio also set the best regular-season record of 73–9 in 2015-16, breaking the 1995–96 Chicago Bulls record of 72–10.
