The Warriors are continuing to let the doubters know that they were wrong for picking against them all season. Everyone from Draymond Green, Steph Curry, and many others in the organization dug up some of the old takes that were made by NBA experts -- making them eat their own words.
During an Instagram Live session on Klay Thompson's page Wednesday, the sharpshooting All-Star let off another shot at the so-called "experts," with Curry reacting to the video, loving every minute of it.
"Anyone who has the 'expert' under the TV analysis of their respective sport. but never really did the damn thing, you can't trust them, you can't trust their opinion, you can't trust their expertise because they literally said we were dead in the water," Thompson said. "And what do we do? Win the championship. So how did it feel? I know it hurt them, I know it hurt them bad."
Some of the notable pundits that have been called out by members of the roster include Skip Bayless and Nick Wright, who once called the trade for Andrew Wiggins "unspeakable," adding that Curry would never reach the NBA Finals again.
Wright later admitted that his take on Wiggins was "wrong" after Green went after the FS1 personality on his podcast.
The Warriors have every right to be upset over the media undervaluing them. Most experts picked a less experienced Los Angeles Lakers team to win the Western Conference and ultimately ruling out the already established Warriors -- who still have the same core that won them their title in 2015.
Some "experts" are already counting them out to repeat next season -- which I'm sure will be even more added motivation for them to do just that.
