to compare the warriors to the patriots is pretty fucking stupid.

Not really...by your logic, if a team is "too good" it is unfair.
The Warriors are a phenomenal team, but the best ever?
I personally wouldn't even consider them to be in the running for GOAT until they have won a championship AT LEAST 3 years in a row. At this point they have won 3 championships in 4 years. That is pretty good, but they are going to have to win a few more championships before they can even be considered for that title.
Boston Celtics won the championship 10 times in 11 years
Bulls won the championship 6 times in 8 years.
I'm sorry, but the idea that KD ruined the NBA by going to The Warriors is just silly. Sure, they are good, but they aren't THAT good....
Can you really blame a guy for wanting to win championships?

Agreed, they aren't the greatest team of all time even with KD.

So you guys really don't think KD going to the warriors helped ruin the NBA??
And you can't bring up the celtics..that was in the 60s..
And the bulls had 2 stars and one was the best player ever. That's why they won..not because everyone went to 1 team..
I really can't believe you guys think that way..no respect for the game

I'm not trying to be a contrarian or anything. I can definitely understand how it would be frustrating for some fans to watch the same teams in the playoffs year after year.
I just don't think one of the best players going to an already really good team can ruin the entire league. Dominant teams have always been a part of the game.
IMO, the way the Warriors put their team together seems totally organic and normal compared to the Cavs. The Cavs basically restructured their entire team on a whim an hour before the trade deadline to satisfy LeBron.
I'm not a fan of either team, and I don't root for any NBA team in particular, so that might have something to do with why I have the opinion I do. For me it is way more entertaining to watch a team trying to create a legacy than it is watching one off teams play over a series most people won't remember.

Well the Warriors are in the middle of theirs with a long way to go. Having Durant added to them is unfair but life isn't meant to be fair. I don't care. I love that area and Curry and Klay. They are an amazing team to watch.
Am a Jazz fan but they will never match up. The Jazz blew them out by 30 one game but what does the regular season mean? I remember the year before going to the arena and seeing a fan with a G.S. jersey on and just looking at me with a grin on his face, as a sports fan, like, you have no chance in round two of the playoffs against us. And the Jazz were swept 4-0. Whatever. It's sports and it is for fun. Some take it way to seriously.
