2. Supporting cast

The Golden State Warriors can offer a supporting cast that is stronger than perhaps any other in the league.

Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green are the creams of the crop when it comes to big threes. The Splash Brothers are two of the greatest shooters in league history while Green has proven he can be a game-changing defender.

The three pushed Golden State to five straight NBA Finals and secured three championships. No team can offer a collection of players with more experience than Curry, Thompson and Green.

The spacing that Curry and Thompson create would be on full display with Giannis Antetokounmpo dominating in the paint. Opposing teams would have to pick their poison as effectively defending all areas of the floor is nearly impossible with a squad this talented.

Giannis is the most dominant paint presence the league has seen since Shaquille O’Neal. He is second in the league for total dunks with 155 and is shooting an incredible 76.8 percent in the paint.

It would be basketball heaven for Giannis in Golden State. He would make a living off of rolling to the rim and running pick-and-rolls with Curry. It’s hard to imagine a more fun playing situation than the one Giannis could create with the Warriors.
