Strauss Ethan Sherwood - The Victory Machine The Making And Unmaking Of The Warriors Dynasty - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: How money guts and greed built the Warriors dynasty - - and then took it apart The Golden State Warriors dominated the NB a for the better part of a decade. Since the arrival of owner Joe Lacob they won more championships and sold more merchandise than any other franchise in the sport. And in 2019, they opened the doors on a lavish new stadium. Yet all this success contained some of the seeds of decline. Ethan Sherwood Strauss's clear - eyed expos reveals the team's culture its financial ambitions and struggles and the price that its players and managers have paid for all their winning. From Lacob's unlikely acquisition of the team to Kevin Durant's controversial departure Strauss shows how the smallest moments can define success or failure for years. And looking ahead Strauss ponders whether this organization can rebuild after its abrupt fall from the top and how a relentless business wears down its players and executives. The Victory Machine is a defining book on the modern NB a: it not only rewrites the story of the Warriors but shows how the Darwinian business of pro basketball really works.
