2016 Golden State Warriors Version 72

72 reasons to love the Warriors

From Steph Curry lapping the legends to the team lighting up the scoreboard, here are 72 reasons the Warriors captured our hearts

4. DESPITE HIS ADDICTION, CURRY FIGHTS ON.

• Let's just come right out and say it: The best player in the world suffers from a previously unreported and crippling addiction. To popcorn. The ball boys in opposing arenas know to fill his locker with a stash of it. In New Orleans back in October, he received a massive satchel of the stuff before going out and scoring 53 points. Inspiration? Probably not, as a man who once lost minutes to Acie Law needs no extra motivation. After the 53-point explosion, Curry was informed that coach Keith Smart, who'd benched Curry for Law in the dark days of 2011, had offered congratulations. "Tell him I could feel Acie Law breathing down my neck," Steph quipped.

9. IGGY IS A FUNNY DUDE.

• Andre Iguodala thinks deeply about race, but he also revels in its awkward, comedic value. "It's fun for me," he says. Case in point: Last season in Dallas, Shaun Livingston was playing defense on Dirk Nowitzki when his hand connected with Nowitzki's crotch; the crowd hurled boos in Livingston's direction until the final buzzer. After the game, a media scrum had Livingston cornered as he frantically threw up his hands, trying to explain himself. Iguodala walked by and shouted into the scrum: "Look how they got the black man over there! You see? You see?!" 

12. THE EVERYMAN HAS HURDLED THE DUNKMAN.

• With $160 million in projected sales, Curry should surpass LeBron as the top seller of signature shoes this year, according to Morgan Stanley. In fact, he's on pace to sell more than Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and Kobe Bryant combined.

32. KLAY IS A BORE, BUT HE LOVES (SOME) EGGS.

• Thompson is legendary among his Warriors teammates for his monofocus, caring passionately -- perhaps obsessively -- about only basketball, Xbox and his dog, Rocco. Food sometimes cracks that list. He is particularly fond of a specific omelet at the team hotel in Memphis. As Thompson exited FedExForum after a practice earlier this season, a Warriors assistant cracked, "Every step of the way, Klay is thinking, 'omelet, omelet, omelet.'"

48. CURRY HAS PERFORMED AT SUCH AN ELITE LEVEL THIS SEASON THAT NBA 2K WAS FORCED TO REPROGRAM ITS SOFTWARE TO COMPENSATE.

68. A PB&J A DAY KEEPS WARRIORS LOSSES AWAY.

• Speaking of addiction (see No. 4), the team has its own: peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. No, seriously, the Dubs nearly staged a rebellion when trainers outlawed the sandwiches for not being healthy enough. Curry, who enjoys a PB&J before every game, and Luke Walton are thought to have led the mutiny. They, of course, got their way.
