5. They have the best team chemistry

If there’s one thing that the Warriors would have over the national team, it’s the fact that they have a team chemistry that is second to none.

With the calm and cool demeanor of Stephen Curry and being led by Steve Kerr, the Warriors are constantly loose and are always full of smiles no matter the situation. It speaks to the chemistry the team has and the fact that they buy in with each other.

Sure, Team USA is full of guys that are the best in the world at what they do and most know each other well. However, they haven’t spent the miles on the court and across the world together like the Warriors have.

If there’s anything that can be said for chemistry in the battle of the two behemoths, the Warriors would be able to gel a lot quicker than Team USA possibly could.

That’s not to take away from what they have built, as they are a winning machine in international basketball. Chemistry probably wouldn’t affect a battle between the two much, but it would certainly give the Warriors an edge that their opponent does not have while facing them in a one-on-one setting.
