Which NBA team is the best run organization in the league?
Miami heat
I usually hear Golden State.
Going with Golden state
Golden state…they made one of the best moves in nba history and won immediately…
Golden state
Golden State dynasty one of the best most visually appealing and hardest working dynasty of all time. Built the team through draft picks, player development and amazing trades. Basketball at its finest
Exactly
ive been watching nba ball since the late 60s and the recent and possibly current warriors is the best ball i have ever seen.. in terms of the entertainment and quality of team ball , i don't think durant added to that. he was sort of an opposing force, but such a great scorer that it didnt matter. . , ..
Foreal
@@briant3404 the ball movement slacked just a bit with him but you could tell he bought into the culture and team style of play way more then he did before or since. It’s a testament to how that organization is run
@@briant3404 well said
He literally went from laughing stock to 3 time NBA champion all because he was given a chance with Golden State and he made the best of it
Well.. you ain’t got to say it like his play was because of it, or the fact that he didn’t benefit from playing with LeBron, Ad, Curry, Klay and Durant
@@Theyaintme_cb6 He benefited and took advantage of the opportunities. Dwight Howard is a multiple all star and 2-3 times defensive player of the year? But what was his reputation? Far from those accomplishments. What did he do when he went back to the Lakers? He took the opportunity to rewrite his narrative and now he is seen fsr from the problem child but a fun hard working future HOF.
GS organization also did their best to instill confidence in him and they publicly denounced the narratives of him simply being more goof than basketball player. I personally felt like GS should've been his long term home.
He was a beast on Denver but I think the Shaqin A Fool threw too many shoots at him
@@Theyaintme_cb6 you sound dumb check his final stats with the Warriors
Imagine, treating your "employees" like intelligent humans with their own good ideas... too many companies DON'T do this.
It only works if you have intelligent and professional employees.
Most employees in most businesses aren’t these things at a high level.
Some people will abuse it, like JaVale himself said, so it shouldn't be applied indiscriminately, but it's definitely a strategy for company managers to look into.
@@PoochieCollins It's a great way to get rid of those people too though. If they aren't trustworthy, get them out. And if you are hesitating on trusting them, don't hire them.
then it is the start of the end. just watch simmons and kyrie. the company trying to understand them but they just abuse it and theres nothing the company can do. hope there is something were a team can just cancel the contract
@@keltners613 Yet Kyrie is the exception, not the rule. He's problematic on many levels and is getting booted.
Golden state is the best run team in the league , even through injuries the past couple years you can tell the culture hasn’t changed. They literally look like professionalism personified and I love it
And they just won their fourth
His story reminds me of Wiggins story. Both were mocked by media and players, got to GSW, improved and learned to fulfill their potential.
The same past few years people have forgotten just how good of a team Golden State is… but I have a feeling they are going to remind everyone this season.
💣💣💣💣💣 swear fam
True. I remember watching games before KD around 2014-2016 and just being in awe by the ball movement and overall team effort. I don’t recall what game it was but I also remember when the starters weren’t playing well and basically the entire bench stepped up big and probably out scored the starters. Was super excited for guys like Brandon Rush and James Michael Macadoo when they shined.
Best run team in the league
@@fbgm3818 So true. Their ball movement was better compared to when Kevin Durant came. I felt the change in their ball movement when KD started playing prolly because of his ISO plays. The warriors with KD is still good though, but I like them better with good ball movement
Only if klay is healthy and 70% of the player he was before injury
I think you can credit Kerr with a lot of it. He fosters a culture of basketball family. Curry also shares credit being so selfless.
kerr: without curry none of this would have happened.
@@countertenorflor2107 he’s not wrong
Golden state is the charecter of steph.PERIOD
Yessir spit facts
@@ebwork3729 👍🙏
He set the tone period. I feel like the entire org followed suit. He’s so inspirational.
@@sowishful true👍🙏
Except he wanted Avery Bradley and they didn’t sign him. Signed damion Lee instead.😶
One opportunity can change a player's life and career
One opportunity can change a persons life.
applicable to real life too.. all it takes is one of anything
@@gc4479 It's not the opportunity that changed him though. It's the people he got to be around. When you are around losers, there is nothing to be but a loser. When you are around winners you become a winner. But even knowing this most of us will keep talking to our loser friends and being a loser in life. And even after me saying all that you same mfs don't hear me.
Do not miss your chance to blow!
Opportunities don’t just happen, you create them
Dude played like 10-15mins only per game in GS but he played every minute hard, such a big difference when in a winning organization the players do what it takes to win.
it was due to his asthma that Warriors managed his minutes so hard, not cause he couldnt play.. the organisation put his health over quick success which most teams wouldnt even consider
Yeah, I thought Shaq was doing too much for a laugh at the expense of JaVale. I thought he was a very important piece for the GSW, still think they should have kept him.
You can tell Kenny and Chuck wasn’t a fan of Shaq bullying Javale all the time
@@Theyaintme_cb6 how was Shaq bullying him 🤦🏾♂️ come on
@@deesee2051 shaq don't like centers
@@concord252able yeah don’t think that’s true because he showed love to Dream,Ewing and other great centers
@@deesee2051
Making fun of someone every day in National tv is definitely bullying
I remember before we signed him nobody wanted to sign him. We signed him in the beginning of the season because we lacked the position. I honestly didn’t see him as a good acquisition at the time but he definitely made those most of it. After those yrs with us, I felt it rejuvenated his career, and it extended his yrs in the league.
just like Wiggins, dude averaged 19 points and everyone called him a bust or scrub... 2-3 years with the Warriors now he looks like a new man, he still needs to attack the basket more but his game has improved so much every team wants him in any trade Warriors discuss
Soon as I heard a deal was in place - think it was the Mavs, but I knew Javelle was on the roster and hoped he would be a throw in.
Thought the Warriors would get the Denver Javelle out of him and more. He is perfect for the Warriors- still.
We? Lol u gm of gsw or something.
@@JamesCorachea04 Try reeeal hard to see if you can muster up an original thought worthy of an LOL.
We is, Dub Nation. We had those chips. We had those parades. We looking for more titles. We been having a ball.
Simpletons need to leave Dub Nation alone, focus on petitioning and riding YOUR Gms to build a championship team/culture so you can have a we. Good luck!
I believe the warriors made him a more focus player and now he been on the best team in the league since
He played his best ball in golden state...he was a excellent piece by them and he played excellent defense
steph has gotta be a big reason for this, he's the culture creator, obv dray and klay and kerr and meyers too, it's the whole for sure, but you can't ignore how much of steph's personality and charisma must be a driving force behind this
Bruh. How tall is Meyers? 😝
@@ronniewest87 myers probably a 6,5 or 6,7
@@ronniewest87 His money taller than anyone else in the org. That’s what he’s there for.
he has been the heart and soul for all their success, no questions about it!
@@ronniewest87He’s 6’8
Exactly. Golden state made him respectable, not the lakers. He was a laughing stock before that.
He was respectable before that, GS just changed the public perception of him.
@@aboutmillions exactly he wasn't a scrub, just had a bunch of blooper like errors on the court that created the perception of being a clown player
@@aboutmillions i meant his style of play, not him as a man. Don’t get all kwame on me.
Nobody respected Golden State because we all hated what Durant did, so why would we respect Javale? I mean All he did was join a super team 🤷🏾♂️
@@Theyaintme_cb6 they won before both of them got there stupid🤷🏾♂️
McGee learned his worth at Golden State. He worked hard and deserved being part of that team. He's a dawg. Loved watching him there 😍
Its not simply just going to Golden State and everything was automatic. He needed to play in way that was beneficial to their scheme so they worked on his mental game to eliminate bad decisions. His first year, he had a lot of bad habits but as the season progressed, he was putting in productive minutes. After the second season, he became a much better defensive player and smarter offensive game. That’s why GS could no longer afford his price tag, his market value in the NBA went up.
facts, thats what i thought he would talk about... Jevale at Warriors vs early in his career and 2 different players...
Warriors help develop players ability to read the game and get to where they need to be to help the team win... i remember Lebron talking about how some NBA players dont know how to play the game but they stuff the stat sheet... Russ OKC during KD's time vs triple double Russ are 2 different players, and im a fan of OKC Russ, TD Russ im no fan at all, he gave up his basketball IQ for quick success and its the same for a lot of other players... just look at how Wiggins was getting points at Wolves and how he gets them at the Warriors, you wouldnt think they were the same player lol
He left for the Lakers for the same money
@@donaldlaitinen9808 Yeah the OP is revisionist af. He left because he was getting less than 10 minutes per game.
GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS REALLY CHANGED BASKETBALL FOREVER IMO.
Javale matured a lot from back when he was on the Nuggets. It just shows how important environment and culture are towards shaping a person's life. That being said, Javale also took advantage of the opportunity, so big ups for him.
steph then did not just change the game in terms of the 3 point shot but the whole concept of the organization, the team in regards to winning championships. with out steph, and klay and draymond this would have never come to be. but steph was the only real necessity in that happened and what has come to be .
yep, Joe Lacob had an interview on this point... he talk about how being a young owner he learned a lot from Jerry West before he left to help Clipper become a title winner, Jerry today him to talk with his main star to see what type of organisation will get him to a title win, this was 2013 when Warriors front office was discussing trading Curry or Klay for Kervin Love i think and West backed keeping Klay and Steph together to create the leagues best shooting back-court in history of the league, so Warriors hadn't even won a title yet, and Lacob sat down and had a 6-8 hour talk with Curry on how the team and organisation to work together and all that, thats when all this started really, Mark got fired cause of the LGBQT community and his comments about it, than Kerr got hired in 2015 and Kerr and his coaching staff adopted the coaching system Mark had and set in the new Curry system we see today with Curry playing more off ball and the ball bing moved around which Kerr learned from Pop and how Pop used Parker lol...
thats why Joe Lacob calls Curry the spiritual leader of the team cause it was that talk back than that started all this
Kerr happened.
Im happy Mcgee that even though you're not anymore with the Warriors, you gave your honest heart-out. Im just an avid fan of Warriors(David's) over Lakers (Goliath)!
JaVale McGee one of my favorite NBA players! i was so glad GSW chose him. GSW brought him in and took care of him as family and told the NBA world about his basketball IQ as well! They appreciated him. It warms my heart-- McGee is having a GREAT NBA career and is an 3x NBA champion! 🏆🏆🏆 i pray the very BEST for you J McGee!
U right
Watching Javale just get WRECKED on “Shaqtin’ A Fool” made me feel bad for him.
I had a feeling that when GSW picked him up, there would be a shift in his career. So glad that I was right!!!
Javale is proof positive that, “It’s not how you start, but how you finish!!! Proud of the boy!!!
In fairness though, those Shaqtin's were funny af. haha
@@Senaleb In many instances, yeah.
The issue JaVale had was Shaqtin A Fool was messing with his livelihood. Teams were passing up the opportunity to sign him based on the stereotype cultivated.
@@jackriver1999 Yeah, seriously. Because he’s not a bad player overall.
Spreading a winning culture. Respect for this man.
Joe Lacob is running his team just like Eddie Debartolo did in the 80s… The Bay Area makes champions
Those players sure did like Eddie.
We miss u at golden state Javale you are the champion piece we are missing !
He went to the next ring ... Mavs😅
It's a family. They genuinely care about their players and staff -everybody's mental and physical. The things you accomplish when you know someone has your back, like truly have your back.
it all starts with the leadership and Steph Curry, as the main superstar there, led by example. no legm bs, no burners with kd, just straight leadership and professionalism with curry. also their gms really do what they gotta do to win even if it means paying 80+ mil in luxury taxes
Just goes to show you how one opportunity can change a person outlook and life. Some people just need the opportunity.
At 64 yrs old going on 65, I have seen a lot of great basketball players in my lifetime. Javale is one of my all time favorite players ever and missed him a whole lot when he wasn't in GS. So glad to know he's back in town.
McGee helped GSW won 2 back to back championships bc he hustled and changed opponents shot. He even shut down lebron during the championship games. He is a great bench player.
This guy is a great person and a talented ball player.
Wished he stayed with GSW. Copped his jersey hoping he was going to stay with us long term because he matured and was a perfect fit
I remember him on the flight videos. Bringing presents to the other players. One of a kind things.
GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS BABY!!!!!!!
He improved a lot ever since he went to Golden State since their so good at developing their players
Glad the GSW are really the organization they seem to be, classy.
Always respected this dude! Respect him for wearing the China shirt too! Thx man
I can't speak for everyone but I love Asian culture,movies and how humble and smart they are. Nuff respect javale for the China shout out.
His time with the NBA was going down the tubes compliment of Shaq. He went to Warriors and Bless that organization turned his life around. He was constantly humiliated by Shaq. Thanks to Curry and Steve Kerr. Steve Kerr is such an amazing person watching him play with the Spurs was fantastic. Love Steve❤ "BIG UP THE WARRIORS ORGANIZATION "" (EMPHASIS) 💯💯💯👍👍👍
Blaming it on Shaq is ridiculous. If Shaqtin didn't even exist, nothing about Javale's career would've changed. He was viewed as an underachiever who was very athletic, but was prone to mental blunders. That rep was well earned. Shaqtin just showcased it for laughs. Maybe he should've handled it with class?
McGee is a underrated Center when he played with the Lakers he was a force in the paint
JaVale was scared for along time he didn't have a voice then GS stepped in and gave him the opportunity to say what was on his mind they told shaq to cut it out and that was the end of JaVale on shaqtin the fool.
But javale left GSW in the end.
@@waynesun4052 bcs his market value went up. And GS can't afford it, sadly.
@@iamengineered 6,8 M/year? Realy? Take to Gobert, 45 M/year...
No. His mom reached out to Shaq's mom and Shaq's mom told Shaq to cut it out. True story, look it up.
@@Jin04115 Shaq is big but stupid dominator...
Without golden state he would have been a first ballot hall of famer on Shaquin a fool,he played his best ball in dub nation
They changed things for him but he had his best career stats his first season with Lakers
@@emomagica if 12 points is his best as a professional then thats sad i believe he can do better but his play in la was no different from his play in golden state the numbers are not really different
@@tayybhaddasz4137 Maybe that is his best? Most guys in NBA don't score double figures. Can't mistake the role players with the stars. He is a role player.
@@emomagica tbh, most role players play their best ball in golden state but in limited minutes. Golden state is a well oiled machine when they’re winning. When you go to golden state, you have a certain role and they’ll give you the resources to thrive in that role.
@@tayybhaddasz4137 Nothing sad about 12 points. Not every player is meant to be a star, but if you average 12, you're definitely a big part of the team.
The golden state warriors organization is top tier.
It helped him out physically and mentally! He was surrounded with people who care about him and look at him as a family. The warriors actually use his talent well. WELL DONE warrior!
How I miss JaVale. Not only his playing on the court for the GSW...but his presence in the community, his handshakes...and the parking lot chronicles.
It just prove that they’re really supportive of what their players want to do. Once the players feel like I’m a valued member of this organization, they’ll be more motivated to drive things to improve and win.
You know, for how much people say they were a cheat code, people really didn't appreciate how organic and developed that dynasty was.
Dynasty is...correction
Man I probably would like to see Javale McGee come back to the Warriors
Love Javale McGee… he played with energy. He brought it every game even though he only played a few minutes each quarter. Was a valuable piece to the championship teams.
Since gsw he has improved so much. Lets get it dubs
An organization and colleagues that actually make you better at what you do!
Great lesson!
Very interesting to see that the value the players so much, same can be said for any other job. Employees that take care of their people will always see success.
I am pretty sure that golden state is the envy of every sports teams in the world
Welcome back to the Mavs my brother
You about to have the most productive season of your career Go Mavs
This was good insight on how GSW operates in the background.
He is exactly what gsw need right at this moment 😭😭😭😂🤦
Exactly don't understand why they wouldn't bring him back perfect player off the bench and could start still
@@TheGibsond10 yeah true and a. key in the Lakers 2020 championship keep ad healthy playing the five in the regular season first thing they did was trade him mistake i wonder why he always get traded
@@TheGibsond10 we seemed to go alright without him
Best culture in sports
And y'all hatin GSW, but players can't deny it's the best team to be with
Imagine if Javale McGee ends up with more rings than Shaq 😂
This will probably happen! But we all know the difference between a piggy back ride and a concerted effort, don't we :P
Talk about some Poetic Justice…
He’s one of my favorite players in the league! His energy is at a different level.
Dude really went from being a third or fourth backup center to the starting center with Dwight Howard as his backup... mad impressive
And won Olympic gold 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Shannon: I have watched and listened to you for some time now and you are CONSISTENTLY SOLID!
Always a Awesome Interview
He went from being Shaq's fool to become Javale McGOAT. His time in GSt has made him a legend.
I love this guy. When players do things outside their range it isn't good. This was McGee before Golden State. At GS they had the discipline and focused players on perfecting a role. This is how players shine. Imagine if Curry played defense in the post. He'd get dunked on all the time and look foolish. McGee tried to be things he wasn't before GS and looked foolish.
Warriors fan since the 80’s. Will always love and respect Javale.
I’m so happy for happy for his success 🙏🏼 well deserved
I like this guy and very inspiring to see how his talent evolved to be one of the competitors in his position!!!
lakers may have all the glamour.. but the warriors has the class
Won his first ring there... something that most of the current league superstars still chasing..
Wow... a family plane.. orlando should've been talking notes back in 2000
With Kerr as coach, BobGod being a former college player, and many other key pieces being hoopers...with Lacob being the 'you'll get the money you need to get the results I want" pragmatic venture capitalist...and with Steph being this kind, humble, decent man by all accounts, I'm not surprised they pull out all the stops to keep players happy. The only guy I've ever heard of since Lacob took over who was not satisfied there--somehow--was Pat McCaw. And I have zero clue and less than zero care why.
@@MrBrachiatingApe He wanted more i think. playing time, money, more touches basically he wants to be like steph while steph is in the warriors. if only his attitude was like poole
Love javale McGee big fan of u brutha 🤙🤙💪💪
Always have been a fan of his even before golden state
Kerr is a genius. Recognized his strengths and used him appropriately.
Luv your tee!
I miss JaVale. I was thrilled when the Warriors first got him because every time we faced him in Denver, he ALWAYS was a huge thorn in our side. The guy seemed to play like an all-star against us. I hope he returns at some point.
Golden State makes me proud to be from the Bay in general!
Miss Javale on GS
I loved JaVale on the warriors! wish he would come back.
Warriors the best team in the league, great city, great front office, great coach, amazing gm, and like he said players run the show!
One team aka my hometown team changed his life. That’s what’s up. 💙💛🏀
Solid!!!
JaVale loves Golden State and their fans loved JaVale, so why did he leave in free agency? He didn't any more money that GS offered and, as far as I know, the Dubs' front office wanted him back.
I was scratching my head trying to figure out if this is a virtual set or a real one. Almost fooled me until the computer with his mom disappeared. Set is nice, almost fooled me
Its good to have to have owners who will sign any check if it means the players are happy and they win
Class act.
From shaqtin mvp to a 3 time champion.. I always have javale on my 2k line up every year..
We loved javale !
I love some JaVale!
My favorite player
Narrative around him changed after those years with the Warriors. He became respected and even wanted by other teams and players
Wait a minute I've subscribed, don't ignore your best Shay Shay , LOL
Its crazy how he just proved there's too much coaching control in this league sometimes players just have to take a open shot but the greats get it done with improvisation n u cant get that with just running plays so some of these guys really don't get to shine all bcuz of the system that's being ran
Javale McGee was a "Shaqtin' a Fool" until Golden State, but McGee left because he didn't get enought playing time and the first game as a Laker against the Warriors, he dunked on them like 5 times.
facts he brought his mentality from golden state to the lakers
I really miss JaVale since he left the Warriors. I miss all of the former players since I started watching: ZaZa, Bogut, Durant, Matt Barnes, Festus Ezeli, Damion Jones, David Lee... They're all so special.
You really have to know how to treat your players, everyone should’ve a voice. You never know what they say how it will impact the whole team. Teamwork brings dreamwork.
Come back we never wanted u gone
And that’s free agents should join the warriors great culture great organization great city
Still til this day, the Warriors have that championship mindset. The front office doing good with their draft picks and still have Curry, Dray, Klay and Iggy to follow behind. Warriors could do it this year if Klay is 100 and Wiseman matures faster.. Just know Warriors will be top 3 out the West
Centers like Javale and Dwight are extremely under rated at how much they contribute to championship teams. Not to many players play or even try to do effective defence.
