Golden State Warriors 2024 NBA Championship Odds
In 2022, after winning their 4th NBA championship since 2015, the Golden State Warriors have been in rapid decline. This season has been a catastrophe with infighting, the suspension of Draymond Green, poor defense, and red ink. If Golden State somehow manages to make the 2024 NBA Playoffs, it will almost certainly be as a play-in team. To many observers, the Warriors' indignity is just deserts for its arrogance and hubris. The Warriors still have Stephen Curry manning the marquee, but there is not much else to cling to. Head coach Steve Kerr has been forced to try and find solutions rather than give finger-wagging political lectures in the current crisis.

Golden State Warriors History
The Golden State Warriors have the distinction of winning the first recognized basketball championship. Golden State was a founding member of the BAA and won the first title over the Chicago Stags during the 1946-47 season when they were known as the Philadelphia Warriors. However, they struggled upon joining the NBA and only finished with a winning record once before winning the 1956 NBA Championship.
This franchise moved across the country to become the San Francisco Warriors in 1962. They were seen as title contenders with the great Wilt Chamberlain, but they lost the 1964 NBA Finals, and he was traded the following season. The Warriors continued to be competitive without him, and they eventually brought the city a title in 1975 with Rick Barry leading the way.
Golden State was one of the worst teams in the league from the late 1970s until the early 2010s. Over the last decade, the Warriors have been the premier franchise in the league, though. Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green have formed the core of a team that has been to the NBA Finals six times in the last eight years, winning four championships.
