The NBA season has begun and we are almost 20 games deep.  We have learned several very important facts.  The first is that the Warriors are very very very very good.  They have not lost a game all season and have played close to 19 games already.  Steph Curry is having another phenomenal season and I would not be surprised if he won the MVP again this year.  He has made an unbelievable amount of threes already.  He has hit 94 which is the most in the league.  The person who is closest to him is Kyle Lowry who has only made 54.  Paul George is close behind Kyle with 51.  If the warriors are able to keep up this amazing basketball that we have seen over the course of last season and the beginning of this one, we can expect to see Curry with five or six rings.  We can also see Steve Kerr as going down in history as one of the greatest coaches because his team just refuses to lose and as we all know, the team is a reflection of the coach.  This team has done unbelievable things in just one season and the start of a second.  One of the largest factors in this amazing performance is the fact that the chef has remained healthy.  In past seasons since Curry was drafted out of Davidson, he has acquired several injuries and it is my personal belief that these injuries have held back the Warriors.  The first full season that Chef Curry played he won an MVP and a championship.  There are very few teams throughout history who can compete with the dominance of the Warriors.  The most prominent are the 96’-97’ Bulls.  The very team that Coach Steve Kerr played on with the great Michael Jordan.  Just the sheer amount of wins in a single season by these two teams makes Steve Kerr a part of the two most winning teams in basketball history.  Last season the Warriors finished the regular season 67 and 15 with a home record of 39 and 2.  Another highlight for this legendary team is Curry setting a new record for most threes made in a single season with 286 breaking the previous record of 272 that he set in 2013.  But Curry couldn’t do this by himself, he needed the help of his fellow splash brother Klay Thompsen, who combined with Curry to make a total of 525 threes.  That is the most by any duo in NBA history.
