The Warriors became the 2018 NBA champions after sweeping the Cavaliers in the NBA Finals, but two Warriors players hinted at some behind-the-scenes drama that had gone on throughout the season.
Golden State forward David West told reporters there was a lot going on behind the scenes that will shock people when it comes out, according to ESPN. He added, "Y’all got no clue. No clue. That tells you about this team that nothing came out."
Warriors guard Shaun Livingston credited Golden State coach Steve Kerr for "dealing with all our B.S. this year.”
General manager Bob Myers acknowledged that this season was certainly "not perfect" for the champions, although he wasn't asked directly about West's comments, per The New York Times.
Kerr said, via The Mercury News, "This was the hardest year we've had of the three championships by far. Just the length of the journey. These guys are not just incredibly talented but they're selfless."
Although it's not clear what exactly the "behind-the-scenes drama" West was referring to, it didn't stop the Warriors from winning a third title in four years with a 108-85 victory in Game 4 on Friday.
