Why are few people talking about the Warriors winning 73 now? Just look at Kobe s words and you will understand

We all know that the team with the highest winning numbers in NBA regular season history is the Golden State Warriors. They created 73 wins that season in 2016, which also surpassed the 72 wins maintained by the Chicago Bulls before. However, what makes Warriors fans more embarrassed is that basically few media talk about this record now, as if this record has been forgotten. What is the reason?

In fact, the main reason is that it did not win the championship. We all know that although 2016 was a season that was a rewarding season for the Warriors, they had an incredible 73 wins in the regular season. At the same time, Curry, the core of the team, also won the regular season MVP again, and this time it was an MVP with unanimous votes, which also set a record.

As the defending champion, the Warriors were the biggest favorite to win the championship this year, but they encountered setbacks in the playoffs. First of all, in the Western Conference Finals, facing the second young master's Thunder, the Warriors did not play well and were forced into a desperate situation 1-3. If there were no G6 Klay's 11 three-pointers, the Warriors might have been eliminated. Fortunately, they defeated the Thunder 4-3 without the danger and entered the finals. The opponent in the finals is the Cavaliers. The two teams have entered the finals for two consecutive years. Although the Cavaliers have James, Irving and Love, the Warriors are far ahead in terms of the odds of winning the championship or media predictions. Judging from the first four games, this is true. They lead 3-1 with a big score, and the championship is almost the only thing they have. However, there are unexpected situations in the world, and the Cavaliers suddenly burst out with amazing energy, especially the two core players of the team, James and Irving.

They scored like a sack, destroying the Warriors' defensive system, while the Warriors suffered from the mentality of wanting to win and fearing losing. They lost the offensive rhythm of the regular season, and were defeated by the Cavaliers for 4 consecutive games, achieving an incredible reversal in the finals. In this final, James was completely a god, helping Cleveland win the first championship in team history, while the Warriors became the biggest loser. They were criticized by fans and the media, and 73 wins became a joke!

Kobe once said: "The second place is the biggest loser." Looking back at this sentence, it is indeed the truth. Competitive sports are very cruel. What people value more is the result. The Warriors won a season, but failed in the finals, which also made the regular season record of 73 wins pale.

Because of this, now neither the media nor the fans talk about the Warriors' 73 wins, and even the Warriors fans are unwilling to talk about this topic. After all, in their opinion, it is still a bit disgraceful. So do you think that the Warriors' 73-win season without a championship is considered a success or a failure?
