When the Warriors drafted Stephen Curry seventh overall in the 2009 draft, they didn’t realize then the pick would result in one of the most dominant stretches for a team in NBA history.
Of course, it was delayed a few years. The team still needed to draft Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, trade for Andre Iguodala and hire Steve Kerr but, by 2015, the seeds of a dynasty had sprouted.
The Warriors won their first NBA championship of the decade that season. In 2016, they signed Kevin Durant, giving the team the legs needed for two more rings.
