Golden State Warriors dynasty rivals Scott Jay Abraham
Even after losing their crown to the Toronto Raptors in the NBA Finals, the Golden State Warriors can hold their heads up high. They’ve won three championships in the past five years and have emerged as one of the few dynasties in the history of the league.

On that note, here are three of biggest rivals the Dubs have faced during their amazing run.
The Houston Rockets
For all intents and purposes, the Houston Rockets have been the only threat to the Warriors in the Western Conference. And what a threat they were. The Rockets were the only team in the league who could shoot and move the ball as well as the Warriors, and their showdowns in the playoffs have been nothing short of epic.

The Cleveland Cavaliers
There’s very little doubt that the Cavs were the main rivals of the Dubs throughout the past five years. They’ve met in four of the five past NBA Finals with the Dubs winning three of them. And it was meant to be as the team-oriented dubs faced off time and again against one of the greatest NBA players of all-time in Lebron James.
The Toronto Raptors
Truth be told, the Raptors only became one of Golden State’s main rivals this season, but credit to the Canadian team, they certainly made the most out of the opportunity. Will they remain a rival in seasons to come? Only time will tell.
