3. 2017-18

The Dubs entered the season as defending champions and retained their crown, sweeping the Cleveland Cavaliers. It was the first time in North American sports history that two teams had met for a championship for four straight years.

While 2017-18 wasn’t a record-breaking year by the Warriors extremely high standards, the Dubs won their fourth consecutive Pacific Division and Western Conference. The highlight of the year proved to be overturning a 2-3 deficit in the Conference Finals to overcome the Houston Rockets.

Despite the absence of Stephen Curry for the first half of the postseason, the Dubs powered through the San Antonio Spurs in the first round and the Dubs marked Curry’s return with a 4-1 series triumph against the New Orleans Pelicans in the semifinals.

Curry, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson were all selected to the All-Star game the first time in NBA history that a team has had four All-Stars in consecutive seasons, and just the 9th time in league history a single team has had four players in the game.

2017-18 marked the final year of David West’s NBA career as he bowed out with two Championships and while the Dubs finished with a 58-24 record it was the first time in the Steve Kerr era the Dubs failed to register 60 wins.
