Golden State Warriors

The Golden State Warriors changed basketball forever, and that is not hyperbole — it is documented fact. The three-point revolution that transformed the NBA from a game played in the paint to a game played from 30 feet was engineered at Chase Center and its predecessor by Stephen Curry, the greatest shooter the sport has ever seen. Seven championships, four of them between 2015 and 2022, and a style of play so beautiful and so devastatingly effective that every team in the league spent a decade trying to copy it. The Warriors, playing in an 18,064-seat waterfront arena in San Francisco, are the franchise that rewrote the rules.

Under Steve Kerr, the Warriors’ “Strength in Numbers” philosophy produced basketball that bordered on the artistic. Curry, who averaged 24.5 points per game in 2024-25 as the Warriors finished 48-34 and earned a Play-In Tournament berth, remains the face of the franchise and one of the most globally popular athletes on the planet. The dynasty years may be winding down, but Curry’s capacity to produce jaw-dropping shooting performances on any given night means the Warriors are never irrelevant.

Australian fans have long embraced the Warriors’ exciting style, and their games are among the most frequently broadcast on ESPN’s Australian NBA coverage. Curry’s shooting displays transcend sport — they are art, performed nightly for anyone willing to stay up late enough to watch.

The Warriors enter 2025-26 with Curry still capable of producing performances that defy both age and logic. The dynasty years may be winding down, but betting against Stephen Curry has been a losing proposition for a decade, and there is no reason to start now. For Australian fans, the Warriors remain appointment viewing through ESPN and Kayo Sports — because when Curry catches fire, there is nothing else in sport quite like it.
