The Golden State Warriors are the best basketball team in NBA history!!…on paper…during the regular season.
The Warriors surpassed the 95-96 Bulls record of 72 wins with win number 73 tonight against the Memphis Grizzlies.
I’m not going to talk about the Warriors needing to win the championship. That goes without saying, and everyone will still be saying it anyway. Instead, let’s appreciate this new page in basketball history.
This record has stood for 20 years, and 24 years before that. This is a heavyweight record that has survived a lot of great teams. The big three in Miami, the Shaq and Kobe led Lakers, Popovich and Tim Duncan…none of them even sniffed 73 wins.
