Two straight with the Detroit Pistons and three straight with their rivals the Chicago Bulls. Superstars joining rival teams has become a common occurrence in the league.

Subsequently, he received a lot of criticism as many called him out for chasing a ring.

In the 2015-16 season, the Warriors broke the regular season win record set by Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls. In the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors faced the Thunder led by superstars Durant and Russell Westbrook.
