Defense truly does win championships. The Golden State Warriors have made defense a priority throughout the years as they have won three titles in five seasons. However, things will be different in the 2019-20 season.
Golden State began its dominance with four very solid defenders. The 2015 title team contained blossoming versions of Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, while Andre Iguodala won the Finals MVP for his gritty defense that shifted momentum in the series.
Then, there was Andrew Bogut. Perhaps the best rim protector the Warriors have had this decade, Bogut played a pivotal role in keeping the Warriors an elite defensive team.
