Golden State Warriors: 3 players facing the most pressure in 2018-19
By Tony Pesta
Each member of the Golden State Warriors will be facing a ton of pressure in the upcoming 2018-19 NBA season.
The Golden State Warriors have had more than their fair share of success over the past few years. As a result, they have put themselves in position to become an NBA dynasty. Their path to a three-peat will be filled with high-pressure situations.
How much pressure will the Dubs be facing? Well, a team winning three or more consecutive championships is something that has only happened five times in NBA history. Furthermore, only three different franchises have ever achieved a three-peat: the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls.
This means the Warriors have a shot at once again making NBA history. They have already proved to be one of the most dominant teams the league has ever seen. Capping off a three-peat and winning their fourth championships in five years will put them at the top of the mountain.
With the stakes being this high, there is obviously pressure surrounding the entire team. However, there are three specific players who will be thrown into the fire this season. Here are the three Warriors players facing the most pressure in 2018-19.
