It’s been a minute since we’ve seen a style with no gimmicks, but the Golden State Warriors are back, for real this time.

The Dubs have kicked off the 2021-22 NBA season with the goal of redemption on their mind. Numerous players, including future Hall of Famers Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, entered the year with something to prove. At least, in their own minds.

While Curry and Green have more than solidified their legacy, a chip remains on their shoulders. The dynasty run to three championships was cool and all… but these Dubs are still hungry.

Strength in Numbers is back as the Golden State Warriors have one of the best second units in the NBA. Here are three reasons why.

In honor of a prolific performance from the bench mob, let us take a look at three reasons for their surprising impact.
