    The Golden State Warriors are really, really good at basketball. After taking the league by storm last season en route to an NBA Championship, the Warriors have begun their title defense by completely rewriting the record books. Stephen Curry has become a one-man glitch in the Matrix, but that's not all the Dubs have to offer. Under Steve Kerr and his coaching staff, including current interim head coach Luke Walton, the Warriors have used their ridiculous assemblage of talent to steamroll the rest of the league.

I started playing recreational basketball for Montville in the third grade; since then, I had dominated the competition as I hit my growth spurt earlier than most of my friends. Not only was I taller than most of the kids I played with, but I was also faster and stronger. Coming into the tryout, I was confident in my abilities and believed that I would make the team.
