The Golden State Warriors led the NBA in regular season victories (67) and team defense, while boasting the league’s MVP (Stephen Curry) and top executive (Bob Myers). They also featured the runners-up in voting for premier coach (Steve Kerr) and defensive player (Draymond Green). But there was another, less tangible category in which the 2014-15 NBA champions placed near the top of league: Fun.
From the Warriors’ Instagram videos of players celebrating wins on the team plane, to the music they blared during practices, to long-range shooting competitions involving coaches, to impromptu bowling trips, to doctoring video during film sessions in order to prank someone, to a hilarious exchange between coaches while soaked in champagne, it seemed like Golden State thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the franchise’s first title run in 40 years.
