Who do you think is the best NBA team between the Cleveland Cavaliers vs Golden State Warriors? Im sure you picked the Cavaliers since they were the NBA champions last year. Now i'm sure you're thinking, now how is she going to see which team is the best. The way I'll show you is by facts about each team and their stats. But before we learn about who is the best we will learn more about the great game of basketball.
The game of basketball first started by a man named Dr. James Naismith in December 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts. The first game of basketball was first played with a soccer ball and a peach basket. He had two weeks to come up with the game.

In fact it is the second most watched sport in the U.S. There are a total of thirty teams in the game. Infact there is even a women's league and there is a total of twelve teams in the WNBA. But we’re here to learn about the NBA even though same rules apply in the WNBA. The only difference is the size of the basketball. (WNBA - 28.5 ) (NBA-29 ⅞)
Over many years the NBA has drafted some of the best players the world has seen some are even gold medalist from the olympics. Those players are Draymond green, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, Tony Parker, Harrison Barnes, Andrew Bogut and so on. Michael Jordan ( bulls ) is known to be one of the greatest along with Kobe Bryant ( lakers) these two are known to be some of the best players to play the game. Last season Kobe retired the game after helping the LA Lakers win five championships. He was ready to leave the game and finish it out with a bang.
So to begin my argument last year the Cleveland Cavs won the NBA finals.A big disappointment for The Golden State WArriors who were favored to win. They let the Cavs come back with a (3-1) record. So those to two teams are the ones i will talk about since they were up against each other two years in a

Before the record was held by the bulls when steve kerr and MJ played together. They also have a player who won the first unanimous MVP award stephen curry is now a two time MVP for the NBA.Not only that but they gained A big star Kevin Durant. So technically the warriors have achieved so much from last year to this current season.
This season both The warriors and Cavaliers have made it to the second round in the finals. Yet the warriors have a better record a better roster. Now the roster I have discussed but did I tell you what the states where? Now Curry averages between twenty to forty points a game, Durant averages between twenty -thirty points, Thompson twenty -thirty points and the same for Draymond Green. Now for the cavaliers Lebron averages between thirty -forty, and the same for Kyrie Irving.But two great players against four great players does not compare.
Now the Cavaliers are a good team but compared to the Warriors, the Warriors have done a lot better. Now even though I have given a lot of information about the reams not a lot of people will agree.I guess we will have to see who makes it to the NBA finals and wins the Championship. In my opinion the Warriors are a better

    Facing the juggernaut that has been created in Golden State for many years to come, unless James is meshed with another superstar, Irving’s departure will surely prevent any future championship for “the King.” James has depended on Irving’s clutch shots and ability to score for help during the playoffs. Currently, James is 3-5 all time in the Finals. It’s a pretty shabby record compared to that of Jordan’s 6-0 or even Kobe Bryant’s 5-1.…

    These formulas have worked for these two over their careers and had people debating about who the best point guard was for years. Now we have Westbrook, he is maybe the fastest player in the NBA and the most athletic player we have seen play the point guard position, he has very respectable mid-range and an improving three-point shot, very capable passer, and with his unmatched motor and athleticism he can guard the ball brilliantly. Curry, the only one of the four that now has a championship, has sparked the debate of best shooter ever, as he can shoot the ball against any defense accurately no matter the situation, he is very crafty ball handler that uses angles well, great passer, leads by example and plays the game with a smile which rubs off on his teammates, also he is a steadily improving defender. With that being said, the NBA is filled with great point guards, Curry, Westbrook, Paul, Kyrie Irving, Damian Lillard and Mike Conley. However Curry and Westbrook have quickly emerged as the two best at the position, which is very similar to Paul and Williams…
