Despite a two-year interruption in 2020 and 2021, the Golden State Warriors' dynasty continued with their fourth NBA title in the span of eight seasons. They lifted the Larry O'Brien Trophy once again on Thursday, knocking off the Boston Celtics in six games. Stephen Curry garnered well-deserved NBA Finals MVP honors for the first time in his illustrious career while getting enough help from Andrew Wiggins, Jordan Poole, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, Kevin Looney, Gary Payton II and others along the way.
Will Curry and company run it back and go back-to-back for the second time (they did so in 2017 and 2018)? With the 2021-22 campaign now in the rearview mirror, it's not too early to take a look ahead at what could be in store for Golden State and the rest of the league in 2023.
Let's check out the odds and some potential early best bets to be made.
