The Golden State Warriors already set a new record finishing 73-9 last season, but they still aren’t considered the best team in history since they failed to win an NBA championship that same year. They are slated by many to win the title this year with the addition of Kevin Durant and their player-development consultant, Steve Nash says they now could be the best in NBA history.
