There’s no hiding the fact that the Golden State Warriors are neither the largest nor the youngest team in the NBA. They’re not even close to it. That is highlighted by the fact that the face of their franchise, Steph Curry, is a 35 year old who is listed at 6-foot-2. And their big offseason move was to trade for Chris Paul, a 38 year old listed at 6-foot-0.
In a sport associated with the tallest trees, the Warriors have built a world-beater relying largely on shrubberies and hedges.
But just because Curry and Paul are on the short side of the NBA spectrum doesn’t mean they play entirely below the rim.
