The Golden State Warriors have been among the best teams in the NBA for over a decade.
They’ve won four NBA titles since 2015, an organization that consistently finds ways to win, even despite injuries and roster turnover.
Winning this much in any professional league is a difficult task, but the Warriors have a championship DNA that’s allowed them to stay relevant and dominant.
While they have won all of these championships, most recently in 2022, the consensus on the Warriors is that they don’t have what it takes to win this year.
There are several strong rosters in the Eastern and Western Conference, and considering the Warriors currently hold the 10th-best record in the West, they have a lot of ground to make up to make the playoffs, let alone go on a deep postseason run.
The team’s current standing didn’t stop Draymond Green from making a bold statement on TNT during the All-Star Weekend, as NBA Central highlighted on X.
“I said I think we’re going to win a championship, but I lied, we are going to win the championship,” Green said.

Green is confident in himself and his team’s ability to get the job done this year, even though they might not have as great of a regular season record as they’ve had in the past.
Acquiring Jimmy Butler could be viewed as a catalyst move that allows them to become championship contenders, but his role on the team remains to be seen.
There are still several months left in the season, so it will be interesting to monitor if Green’s prediction comes to fruition.
