Answer: Latrell Sprewell

Curry was the first Warriors player to start in the NBA All-Star Game since Sprewell did so in 1995. Sprewell was also in the 1996 and 1997 games, but did not start either. Lee was a Warriors player when he participated in the 2013 NBA All-Star Game but he was not a starter. Mullin was a Warriors player between 1985 and 1997, and was nominated to five consecutive All-Star games between 1989 and 1993. Hardaway played in the 1991, 1992 and 1993 games while he was a Warriors player.

Answer: Reggie Miller

Miller shot 58 three point shots in the 2000 NBA Playoffs. Allen came close to this on a number of occasions, scoring 57 in 2001, 56 in 2010 and 55 in 2008. Green also came close, registering 55 threes in the 2013 NBA Playoffs. George hit 52 threes in the 2014 postseason. Curry had 98 in the 2015 postseason, obliterating Miller's record. The growth of the three point play in the NBA, partially helped by the Warriors dynasty, has seen Miller's 58 threes dip in the leader board. By 2019, his efforts in 2000 were no longer in the top 10.

After dropping two games to the Utah Jazz in the first round of the 1986-87 playoffs, the Warriors grabbed the next three to become the first team since 1956 to come back from a two-game deficit in a five-game series. In the conference semifinals the Warriors lost to the eventual NBA-champion Lakers in five games, despite 51 points from Floyd in Game 4 (29 in the fourth quarter).

Answer: 3

Shaquille O'Neal was the first, winning NBA Finals MVP with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2000, 2001 and 2002 after being drafted by the Orlando Magic in 1992. Kobe Bryant, who was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets then almost immediately traded to the Lakers, won finals MVP in 2009 and 2010. LeBron James was the third, achieving the feat with the Miami Heat in 2012 and 2013. Others, such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1985 with the Lakers) and Wilt Chamberlain (1972 with the Lakers) had won Finals MVPs with teams that did not draft them.
