NBA regular season Most Valuable Player Steph Curry (pictured) says the Warriors should be rated among the greatest clubs the league has ever seen. "We definitely are a great team, a team that should go down in history," Curry said

Cleveland (AFP) - With a first-year coach in Steve Kerr and a team lacking any player with NBA Finals experience, the Golden State Warriors began the season as unlikely title candidates.

But they ended the campaign as champions, capturing the club's first crown in 40 years with a 105-97 victory Tuesday at Cleveland to defeat the Cavaliers 4-2 in the best-of-seven series.
