Loyal Golden State Warriors fans would know what their style of playing looks like.
During the 2010s, the former Davidson star dominated the floor while making five straight NBA Finals appearances between 2015 and 2019. Curry managed to lead his team to three champions. Kevin Durant was also present for their second and third titles in 2017 and 2018. The Warriors team was known for having intense battles with LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers at the time.
