You Were Lied to About the Warriors 

Steph going through the Kobe 2012-2016 phase

“I never wanted to make this video” bro never wants to make any of his videos I don’t even know why he has a channel 😂

Honestly the change of scenery will probably be the best thing for Klay. His warriors legacy is cemented

Real quick, Swish, you mentioned that Duncan set the tone for that franchise, but honestly that credit goes to David Robinson. MOST stars wouldn’t have been able to do what he did and accept the fact that he was getting older and give Duncan the keys and support Him. That set the tone for the franchise and was the first reason why the spurs became the franchise that it became. Everyone else followed suit afterwards

The 2019 Warriors didn't fail to get a three-peat due to ego, they failed because KD and Klay both had major lower body injuries. To say it was egos is a massive stretch.

"Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it." - George Santayana

Came at the right place, just got my food

Klay with the number 31 is very nasstyyyy stuff🤣

Parity has always been bad for the business of the NBA, they've always had their most success under dominant dynasties

The new CBA might be the reason that we will not see anyone reaching Goat status again. To accomplish that you need a lot of championships which arent rly possible in a league that blows up championship teams because the owners cant pay them anymore.

"Kobe's infamous for not having an X button on his controller" 🤣

5:12- now you know damn well the warriors would’ve won in 2019 if the team was healthy 😂

Draymond ran kd out of town and destroyed Jordan poole’s career . As a warriors fan I can’t stand him anymore.

This guy cannot say aura 🤣🤣

This was so true bro, egos break teams .

Thank you for making this because people really forgot a lot of the key details. Love the videos bro

The 22’ will forever be the greatest comeback of the warriors

The words era and aura be kicking your ass big dawg I can't lie 🤣

All I know is we need Matisse Thybulle and if we can't get Lauri, getting jerami grant and signing Gary Trent could do wonders

Bro doesn’t want to make videos Yet he still makes them some how 😂 1:30

Thank you for dropping. I was endlessly scrolling and I got this notification 🙏🏽

Really great video man. Enjoyed your measured perspective

The Splash bros finishing their careers together would've been a happy ending. The Splash bros Rivalry just might be the Epic alternate Ending.

Fantastic video. Warriors were doomed since before the punch. Been doomed since the young and old blend decision by the FO

Im happy for klay but this does hurt, i never wanted the warriors to break up like i never wanted the spurs 3 tim tony and ginobli to break up and well tony went to the hornets💀, stuff happens tho its sports, its apart of the fun

I just cant believe that Klay left before donkey

AoT: cycle of violence NbA: cycle of ego

On point, even the Spurs. Maybe the Celtics of the 60's was able to escape the fall but they won like 11 championships.

The quality of this video is insane. Amazing work SWISHOUT

this is one of your best videos i think swish loved it great breakdown and narratives

My brother never really wants to do "this video" 😂 Love the videos tho ❤

I know the criticism of the day is that parity is bad, but I completely checked out during 2017 and 2018 seasons. It's not the lack of parity that was boring, but it was a complete procession to the title. I don't mind dynasties, as long as we see a competitive series in the NBA Finals. I think the lack of equally matched teams in the finals is more important to the interest of the NBA than a perceived notion of parity.

10:40 infamous for not having x button on his controller 😂😂 I love Kobe

I like the way you think and a lot of the things you said, I’d never heard before. Good vid

You know it’s gonna be a good video when swish says “I did not want to make this”

Broo you really good at these nba tales.

I remember Colin saying that way back in 2018 and earlier. I was a huge fan of his show and so I always had the mindset of “enjoy the dynasties while they’re here” and now I can’t even watch the NBA because there’s too much parity just like Colin predicted.

The knicks might be insane the next couple of seasons jalen brunson has no ego he just took a 100 million pay cut

You are spot on my friend!!

luv ur vids bro!

That freaky music at the beginning or I’m tweaking 😂😂😂 genuine anxious

This definitely one of your best videos you’ve ever done

About KD’s criticism of the warriors system I don’t think he’s totally wrong because the last two years and even before proved us that Golden state motion system has a ceiling and when it hit that ceiling even Golden state has to resort to pnr and iso like everyone else. Against the rockets who were switching a lot they had to go iso and pnr with kd and steph a lot more than usual. Vs the lakers who were top locking and funneling the warriors to AD at the rim the only way they could score was Steph pnr. Even when they beat the Celtics in the finals, Steph went crazy against the drop coverage but Boston was basically shutting down their motion offense and betting on Steph beating them by himself and he did. I’m not saying that heliocentric style my turn, you turn is better but KD wasn’t wrong when he said that Golden state system has some limit

Absolutely amazing video!

Heat of a vid. A clear display of one of the seven deadly sins, pride. Along with greed here and there.

Thank you!

just went to chase center last weekend for the summer league …. when i tell you the whole city is hurt about this klay situation . it almost doesn’t feel real 🥲

You were cooking in this video I won't lie. it's crazy how people want to push narratives so much not that they cannot be honest. Every dynasty will end.

I forgot all about Bynum going bat shit crazy. Even stuffing himself in a tiny car and racing it.

All I’m saying is that Denver blowing that game 7 against Minnesota took away potentially the best finals matchup of the last 5 years

it will never be over

Don't forget Ginobili, dude would have been an A+ starter on any team in his prime and he comes off the bench for the Ws

Nice video. It hurt to hear coz it was about the demise of my fave team.. But it was a hell of a run.

Swish that Legend mix first 2 mins go hard bro

You’re right, this is how all dynasties end. I knew this but I was hoping this time it would be different.

The Collin clips is like he's about to burst into a song😅

Great analysis

I 100% agree with everything said here!

1- Warriors had a killer way to play, like 80%-90% small balling and 10%-20% pick and rolling to balance: if you double up over Curry, someone will be free to attack the rim. If you spread defenders to keep the rim under control, Curry, Thompson and that time also Green and Barnes can easily find a free shot. They run to 73-9 this way. 2- Kevin Durant join after Barnes opt to move out to make $ and the small ball + pick and roll strategy was abandoned. The balance factor were the own Kevin Durant: teams can't double up over Curry and Durant. They even can double up in one of them with both on court. 3- Kevin Durant leave, but not the pick and roll. Kerr went in mad mode doing 30-40 players switches each 30-40 seconds with a non sense mismatches paranoia. And even with one more title, this freak strategy that basically consist in keep five players behind 3 point line moving the ball each other until they have space to shot, turn into the nightmare reality of moving the ball each other until a contested shot with no one to try offensive rebound, or moving the ball until the turnover. Why? With this strategy where opponents know exactly what we were trying to do, they finally were able to defend us well and easily. 4- With unreal luxury tax taking in mind what the team were producing and the owners of expensive contracts aging, it was obvious that tough decisions would being taked in this pre season. 5- Klay, Chris Paul and Wiggins were the most expensive contracts that were underperforming. And they try to keep Klay with a fair deal. 6- Klay don't leave because any contract negociation issue. Despite what he said, he leave because he believe that the bench when the game starts wasn't his place, even if at the end, the starter guy finish with 20 minutes and Klay with 30. 7- Warriors, one more time, had some blessed drafts, as they had with Curry, KT, Green and Barnes, with young guys like Kuminga, Pod and TJD that clearly can be the next Warriors drafted sucessful team, even without a ring. 8- Curry and Green are the perfect choice to play with the kids. 9- Pick and roll need to back to menu asap, mainly because TJD already show us last season that he may be our best player to do this job on last 20 years by far. 10- We can find a better GM even on Chat GPT. It´s time for Mike Dun leave.

Great video 👏

Pops had the Soulbox😂

Pop didnt play that shit.

The best dynasties will always be the spurs and the warriors because both of their leaders were the most humble guys in the league.

With Klay it's all about ego. He can't accept playing from the bench as he sees himself too good for that. If it was really cared about money, he should have stayed a Warrior. Klay might not get paid as much being a Warrior, but his endorsement and brand being a part of the Warriors is what gives him larger value.

Draymond punching Poole definitively ended it, they were already on a short timeline due to Steph and Klay aging then Draymond got so erratic that theyve been a circus the last 2 years. Still a decent team but i dont think steph can carry the whole franchise to another chip at 35

You're a NBA historian. Got receipts for everything, great video!

I have never see a player get away with as much as Draymond.

Wow, really good observations. Thanks for the in site. We only have to be mad at ourselves for buying into the marketing.

Spectacular video man. It was so well thought out and cohesive. Great job

This was a great video

11:49 Yes that has been done before. The Showtime Lakers last 3 championships had 3 different players winning FMVPs

I quote "Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity."

Great video. Ego is the worst!

3:00 people always want what they don’t have…

Spurs are most blessed cause they had that run, got burned bad by kawhi situation, and now have a possible GOAT Challenger if can stay healthy and a million picks through 2031

We’ve seen 3 different Finals MVP’s twice Iggy, KD, and Steph.

It could have ended another way. Klay could have taken less money or retired. But, I don't think that was the most shewd financial decision for him. As long as there's some team who who's willing to put him on the roster, he's gonna take the money. LeBron could have 3-peated, he just had to be willing to tail-load his money. The reason the Spurs contended forever is because Tim Duncan. The same year he signed biggest contract, 2003, he signed for an average of $17.5 million per year, while Shaq signed for almost $30 million per year. In the salary cap world, you gotta chose: Am I going to get paid, or am I gotta have a team that is in contention.

Another banger

that was a well done video

As a goddess of compassion I have the utmost respect for ignorance

All of us have something to do with this equation as well. The fans speculate whos the goat etc etc. Who is the best player etc etc. This has something to do with the players being the way they are also. Even the environment these players grow up in all of it.

Early af .. love the channel foo

“Feeling j wanted again” 😔

end of an era

Great video

Klay's gonna be on the team where the 3rd gets the most wide open looks then any other team. Gonna be interesting to see if Klay can step up.

Nasty work😂

Nice presentation.

This is a GREAT video -- I fall into this type of romanticizing thing and you rite, you rite

leavin tht clip wit curry hangin is tuff

I think real NBA like to see parity and different teams winning the chip. Seeing the vets who been grinding most of their careers finally get one. Seeing the young players elevate their play and break through on the national stage. More people should have been happy to see Boston finally win it all this year. Too many stans these days who just follow relevant players

Hey Swish, any video on the Knicks?

Imagine if Warriors goes to Finals this next season and win it all

Klay!! Have fun in Dallas bro. Do what you do. Hes right too no one can take away what those guys and the other golden state warriors did together. Well except Kevin Durrant for some reason whatever he touches doesnt get credit.

Green is not "a little annoying." He is a more than that.

These videos became a bunch of Twitter topics lol

great vid

The team whose superstars choose not to take max contracts will be the next dynasty in this era cuz there’s no other way. Boston may have the best chance to repeat rn cuz they keeping the same team next year, but year 3 is the one where everything could change due to the contract situation and CBA. Also the ego shit really reminds me of Blue Lock 😂

My theory is that every single fan who advocates for parity is actually miscommunicating their issue with the NBA. The parity people all stemmed from KD joining the Warriors, because it made the NBA boring to watch. Everyone knew that as long as KD was on the Warriors, they were winning the chip. There was no point in investing yourself into any other team. Having rivalries on the other hand allows you to pick a side and keeps it entertaining, but if everyone knows who's going to win at the end of the year what's the point

fantastic video
