What's happened with the Warriors reminds me a lot of the Dallas Mavericks' transformation after Mark Cuban bought the team in 2000. Pre-Cuban, the Mavs were terrible, a perennial bottom-tier team. Cuban changed the culture and the Mavs have been more successful than most fans could have dreamed of (even winning the championship in 2011 and runner-ups in 2006). The Warriors didn't just get "lucky" by drafting Green, Klay, Barnes, and Curry. It's hard drafting well; just ask the 76ers, the Cavs (before Lebron came back, they weren't making the playoffs despite multiple #1 overall picks), and 20+ other teams in the NBA. With the exception of the Spurs, no other team has been better at building a team lately. Many parties deserve recognition for the Warriors' outstanding success over the last few years and the owners are certainly included.
