Dallas Mavericks forward Harrison Barnes was a bit reminiscent of his days with the Golden State Warriors, especially during the 2016 playoffs. In an interview, he confessed that the 2016 Oklahoma City Thunder were the best team that year.
In an interview with Uninterrupted, Harrison Barnes, who played his first four seasons with the Warriors, looked back on their battles with the Thunder during the playoffs. To recall, the Warriors, who notched a record-setting 73-9 season record, were down 3-1 in the Western Conference Finals against the Thunder.
It was an upset that everyone was waiting to see: the best team in the history of the NBA going down to a relatively weaker foe.
“I mean they were rollin', and we just didn't have an answer for them, if Klay doesn't have that crazy game, they are winning the finals, I mean the way they were built they were doing it all,” Barnes said.
Former teammate Andre Iguodala mirrored his statements. In an interview with The Breakfast Club, Iguodala said that the OKC should've won the finals that year.
“They were better than us. They played us better than anybody. They played us better than Cleveland. Like had our number,” he pointed out.
“Now that we got KD I can say it. They were the best team in the playoffs. They should have won the championship,” he added.
Though their confessions may come as a surprise, it sure is admirable of these competitors to acknowledge and respect their foes once it is all said and done.
