Golden State Warriors: Comparing each player to an Avenger

David West: Captain America

The oldest Avenger, Captain America is the wisest, most experienced member of the team. He’s also the toughest Avenger, capable of fighting through injury and adversity to successfully win the day.

He’s also incredibly grounded, giving the team someone they can rely on in nearly every situation. When it seems as if everything is going wrong, count on Cap to help steady the ship and get the team moving in the right direction.

David West does all of those things for the Golden State Warriors. As the eldest, most experienced guy on the team, every one looks to him to say and do the right thing.

He’s not as talkative as he used to be in the beginning of his career, but when he does say something, it’s usually rather profound and worth listening to. The quiet confidence he’s developed in his later years is exactly the type of personality the team needs to have the right balance.

He’s likely to bow out soon, which is why he’s focused a great deal on training the next generation.
