Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls never did it. Neither did the Showtime Lakers of the 1980s or Shaq and Kobe’s Lakers of the 2000s. The only team ever to make five consecutive appearances in the NBA Finals was the Boston Celtics of the 1960s.
SpookyStxrlight
The Raptors would not be a dynasty without Kawhi Leonard, Kyle Lowry, Marc Gasol, Danny Green, P. Siakam
Back to the future wouldn’t be a awesome trilogy without realmikefox and Christopher Lloyd glad we are just stating facts hopefully the warriors will be as memorable !
Stop sleeping on Shaun Livingston
They were dynasty before Durant. They don’t need Durant . They went 73-9 without him
A must watch:
no shit
Anyone else? Stick to news.
Is this a Magic Johnson tweet?
Hot Take Friday: fictiv would be nothing without its product, engineering, HR, recruiting, facilities, finance, sales, leadership, business development, support, marketing, manufacturing, automation and logistics teams. You heard it here first folks.
In other news, without the players making up a team, a team would not be a team. ....Hope someone gets slapped for writing this
.LeighEllis, tweet of the week?
Did the WhiteHouse pay for this?
That's not how dynasties work.
“Team would not be good at basketball without its good basketball players.” More and more people are saying this!
Well, until a team hires another in-game 'Hit-man' to slide his foot under Curry and/or Klay to bust their ankles... Spurs were the perfect competitor for this heretical 'dynasty'.(seeings how Durants played his last game in GS).
No way.
Duh...definitely not FakeNews
merci captain obvious
Cap. Cap. Cap cap cap...why did you put Kevin Durant’s name last? They aren’t a dynasty without me leading mannnnnn.
And KD
If your Aunt had balls she would be your uncle

'If you take away all those hit songs, the Beatles aren't even a band.'
Golden State was winning long before Kevin Durant got there. He gets way too much credit.

SamHustis I’m not sure about that. How many teams could loose a KD and maybe look better?
Did hire MagicJohnson to write headlines?
Bold take. To the author of this tweet, have you ever watched sportsball? In other news, Microsoft wouldn't be the same if Bill Gates and Paul Allen were never part of the company.
Duck dynasty wouldn’t be a dynasty without the ducks.

Genius statement!!!!
My God...you’re right!

File this headline under the NO SHIT!?! category
WSJ: 'Also, in other news...the ceiling is the roof.'

In other news: water is wet
Insights like this are why one shouldn't get their sports news from the Wall Street Journal!
analysis
The warriors would not be a dynasty without Kyrie Irving (2015) , Chris Paul (2018) , and Kawai Leonard (2017) all getting hurt, and then crying to Kevin Durant after losing a 3-1 series lead in 2016. Analysis
And a sandwich wouldn’t be a sandwich without 🍞
“If KD wasn’t there they wouldn’t be dynasty. KD is the GOAT!!!”
Unlike the dynasties of the past that did not involve players... 🤔
I mean... I guess you’re not wrong
Did you guys write this all by yourself?
Woah
Well...yes.
Ehhh, no shit?
Magic Johnson is tweeting for the WSJ now?
LOL, deep deep thought.
I've yet to figure out why anyone watches this?
But how many points would they score without the ball? The basketball is the only reason for this dynasty
WSJ doesn’t understand the power of the Cook-Jerebko duo.
Breaking news! Nirvana would not be a great grunge band without Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl, and Krist Novoselic.
This guy sounds like a typical Lebron Stan.
So what you’re saying is......
OMFG. Really!!!!!! Are you sure Really sure? You just realized now? I think a team without good players wouldn't be a good team.
Water is wet.
Y’all letting Wall Street people write sport columns now?
GSW also wouldn't be a dynasty if they didn't score more points than their opponents!
The 1927 Yankees would have been terrible without Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig...
I would not be myself without myself
You forgot Kelly Olynyk.
incredible analysis here, y'all change your name to the ball street journal or what
Don't need KD. They were dynasty B4 KD arrived, and will be when he's gone.
Honestly I can’t tell the difference between you and the onion anymore

The Beatles would not be “The Beatles” without John, Paul, George, and Ringo
srichman1023 Is this actually a joke? I thought this was the onion. Who tf wrote this article title, who approved it, and more importantly, why aren’t they working over at 🗑 espn ?
Brilliant work WSJ! How long was someone assigned to that scoop?
They would still have been a dynasty without KD. Not trying to hate, they’re just THAT good.
To anyone looking for a great opportunity to get there journalism and sports media career off the ground The Wall Street journal obviously has an opening within their social media Department. Sheesh talk about a waste of characters stating nothing more than the obvious. WTF
The Beatles would not have been a band without Lennon, McCarty, Ringo, and Harrison.
OldTakesExposed
And I wouldn’t be able to breathe without oxygen. Thanks to oxygen I can breath. Thank you oxygen.

When financial dorks who got picked last in every pick up game growing up and have no athletic bones in their bodies attempt to write about sports, this is what you get...
Altraz12
Duh
I don’t believe that. I suppose next you’re going to say the Pats would not be a dynasty without Brady and Belichick?
I can't stand the Warriors but they wouldn't have beaten the Rockets with Durant and his injury was unfortunate for Houston so looks like Durant and his big payday along with Cousins should be going elsewhere most likely?
Mistook this for a Onion headline. Good job.
The Dallas Cowboys wouldn’t be the Dallas Cowboys if they were based in Tulsa.
Ever since the Bulls during Michael Jordan’s time there I’ve wondered about how this could happen.
It took the whole team to accomplished that
“If it wasn’t for those two linebackers that (insert RB name) would have had a touchdown” -John Madden
They literally were without KD
I’m not ready to go that far
Jesus Christ. Total garbage writing. This is awful

Don’t forget if basketball hadn’t been invented
Wait you mean the team is good because of its players?! 😱
The warriors would go 0-82 without their entire roster

Idk man I mean iggy and Livingston, that's deadly.
The earth would not be a sustainable environment for humans without oxygen and the sun. -
I think the Chicago Bulls won because of Michael Jordan. Also AOC has the brain of a crouton
Except they were a dynasty before Durant and are arguably beter without him.
Hot taek alert
GOT would not be GOT without dragons.
KimStrassel doing sports now?
Radiohead wouldn't be one of the best bands on the planet without Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, and Phil Selway.
And guess what? Curry would not be leader in a dynasty team without great shooting, passing, off ball work and basketball IQ. Green, KD, Klay and Iggy wouldnt be important to this team if they werent great players. And I think the Warriors wouldnt be a dynasty without 3 titles!!!
Star Wars would have never become a massive franchise without Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca and Yoda.
Honestly, this is the worst thing I’ve seen in 2019
How is that actually a headline?
The Warriors would not be a dynasty without their starting lineup. Damn good analysis.

And the Rockefellers wouldn’t have been rich without oil and railroads. Thank you, Captain Obvious.
Even Stevie Wonder can see that this is true
SportsTalkBarry

This is some brilliant analysis. If a dynastic team didn't have its best players it wouldn't be a dynasty. How did everyone miss this?
baseballrodent get a load of this hot take...
Good tweet.....
Still trying to process this.
Nobody Wall Street Journal’s unpopular opinion:
Water wouldn’t be wet if it wasn’t for those two H’s and that O!
So what you’re saying is: “Without coffee grounds, a filter, 10 cups of water, and a power supply, my coffee maker wouldn’t be a coffee maker?
Rough couple of days for the WSJ when you also consider that they thought this also was an okay headline: Maybe they think cringe worthy takes sell subscriptions?
The Black Panther Party would not be seminal Civil Rights figures without Huey P. Newton, Bobby Seale, Kathleen & Eldridge Cleaver, Bobby Hutton and Elaine Brown.

In today’s Twitter episode of ‘No Shit, Sherlock’...
Nah they still would.. they still got Looney
Still would without Durant
No shit
Wall Street journal or The Onion?
Please delete this.
Lol. Durant? What a joke. They were already one of the greatest teams of all time before coward KDTrey5 joined. They've looked much better without Durant every single time he's been injured since joining. KD's help defense & ability to score at the end of a game are obvious, BUT
Is this a joke headline?
The Beatles would not be a band without Paul, John, George and Ringo.

This would not be a Tweet without Twitter
Stick to stocks.
Did Paul Pierce tweet this?
The WSJ doesn't hire the best and brightest.
A team is good because they have good players on the team is quite a revelation! I think the team is probably also good at getting a basketball into an opposing team's basketball hoop a lot + stopping opposing players from doing the same to theirs more often. Please confirm?
Thought this was TheOnion for a second
'Freddy Vs. Jason' would not be a horror movie without Freddy Kreuger and Jason Vorhees.

So the warriors wouldn’t be a dynasty without their “death” lineup... makes sense.
No shit.
I thought this headline was a joke, but is not! 😳
Warriors wouldn't be good without all stars? That's pretty profound.
The Oilers of the 1980's wouldn't be the team that they were without Gretzky, Messier, Kurti, Coffey, Anderson, Fuhr, Lowe and Sather.... What is your point here?
Makes me wonder. Maybe i could write something so profound.
Please stick to what you know. This headline is just stupid 🤦🏻♂️

Durant isn’t a necessity. That’s been proven over and over. He was just mentally weak enough to demand being on a team with a huge safety net. They’re undefeated since he’s been out, they won 73 games without him a few seasons back. (The best record ever)

Fucking bold take
Really? It’s the players on the team that make them good? What a concept.
This is a real headline? What next... “water is wet”? 🤔
This really isn’t a publication for people who watch sports
Water wouldn’t be water without two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule. I can write WSJ headlines too!

Truly a unique article.
And if they win the NBA Championship we all know they will not go the White House to see Humpty Dumpty 😁
this is the worst headline ever... umm no shit
Big J Journalism right here
Richard Childress Racing would not be a racing team without Richard Childress.
The United States of America would not be a country without the United States.
You might as well say that they wouldn’t have won if they lost... what a retarded headline
Pretty sure a dynasty includes a few core players. But then again, I could be wrong on this.
Who got paid to write this trash?
In part II of this series, we examine why the Lakers would not have the legacy they do today without Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kobe Bryant, and Shaquille O’Neal.

And the Wall Street Journal wouldn't be such a rag if it hadn't been bought by Rupert Murdoch. Weird how capitalism works.
Now I understand.
Wow! What a scoop! I’m sure every wannabe journalist is triggered with jealousy at your hard hitting story. It’s almost like saying Hootie & the Blowfish wouldn’t be any good without Hootie and the Blowfish.

This just in: Basketball is named in the way it is because the game is played with a ball and a basket.

And just imagine, if not for John, Paul, George and Ringo, no one would ever have heard of some band called The Beatles.

Wall Street Journal would not be a newspaper without letters, numbers, punctuation, pictures, and ink.
SportsTalkBarry
This is quite possible the least insightful tweet ever
Wow, never considered that before. Great work.
Other notable sports headlines by the WSJ: 'Team sports include teams.'
I forget the link to the headline-writing awards submission page, can someone help me out

Kind of makes senses though.. the only championship they won without all 5 of them was to a team with Matthew Dellavedova averaging 40+ minutes a game.

Avacado toast would not be Avacado today without toast or Avacado.

The warriors are NOT a dynasty!! As NYIslanders fans always remind me They MUST win FOUR CONSECUTIVE titles to be considered one. The 1979-'83 Islanders are STILL the last team in ANY of the 'Big 4' pro sports to win four straight titles. 4 in 5 years is NOT enough!
I pride myself on not letting jokes go over my head but either I’m missing something or I just got got
