Steph Curry Names His Two Favorite Warriors Teams: \u2018Highest Skill And IQ\u2019<\/a> originally appeared on Fadeaway World<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Steph Curry has played on some of the greatest teams in NBA history, but when asked to name the best, the Warriors<\/a> legend couldn\u2019t pick just one. Speaking candidly in a recent interview on the \u2018360 With Speedy\u2019 Podcast, Curry<\/a> reflected on the dominance of Golden State\u2019s mid-decade dynasty, calling the 2015-16 and 2016-17 squads the most special teams of his career.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s kind of a tie between the 15-16 and 16-17 teams,\u201d said Curry<\/a>. \u201cThose two for different reasons. The chemistry, placement of roles\u2026 we had the highest of skill and IQ, we had the highest athleticism. Everything was peak basketball.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a 4x champion and 2x MVP, Curry has played on some stacked teams before that have altered the course of NBA history. When it comes to his most star-studded team-ups, he also mentioned the 2024 Olympic team.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 2024 Olympic team, when you talk about the \u2018Dream Team\u2019, it\u2019s hard to find a collection of guys with the resumes and in their primes and the up-and-comers, that it just all fit. It\u2019s really hard for a team like that to figure it out in seven weeks, but we had to figure it out. Nothing easy about Serbia or France or those last two games.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last summer saw some of the best players from the countr<\/a>y come together for a historic partnership. In addition to Curry, the roster included LeBron James<\/a>, Bam Adebayo<\/a>, Anthony Davis<\/a>, Kevin Durant<\/a>, Joel Embiid<\/a>, Anthony Edwards<\/a>, and Tyrese Haliburton<\/a>\u00a0(among others).\u00a0They captured the gold medal against stacked competition, but how do they compare to Curry\u2019s Warriors team?<\/p>\n

The 2015-16 season would have had the strongest case if the Warriors had closed the deal that year. Instead, despite going 73-9 in the regular season, they lost to LeBron\u2019s Cavaliers in the NBA Finals. Still, that team broke the league at the time, and Curry was at his best<\/a> as the unanimous MVP with averages of 30.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 6.7 assists per game on 50.4% shooting.<\/p>\n

Of course, there\u2019s also the 2016-17 season.\u00a0While the regular season wasn\u2019t as historic,\u00a0Kevin Durant\u2019s arrival over the summer was enough to power them to the next three NBA Finals. The 2017 run was especially memorable, as it saw the Warriors go 16-1 in an impressive show of championship spirit. Best of all, it saw Golden State claim the title<\/a> once again after giving up a 3-1 lead in 2016.<\/p>\n

So, considering the 2017 roster finished the job, you have to give them the edge as the best Warriors team, even though that 2015-16 crew was special in its own ways.<\/p>\n

For Curry, greatness wasn\u2019t just about wins or titles; it was about the chemistry, the fit, and how seamlessly each piece came together. Whether it was the homegrown magic of 2016 or the Durant-powered dominance of 2017, both teams left a lasting mark on the league and elevated Curry\u2019s legacy into all-time territory.<\/p>\n

With the Warriors entering a new era, those peak years serve as a reminder of how rare that kind of synergy really is, and why Steph still holds those teams in such high regard.<\/p>\n
