What about Lillard? Embiid? Where is Donovan Mitchell and for-sure top 10 player Rudy Gobert? Lots of more interesting teams than the injured Warriors. Makes no sense why the NBA didn't actively try to flex another game.
Having been around high school and college aged kids for the past 20 years, I can confidently tell you that Steph remains one of the most identified with and marketable players the league has. I’m pretty sure the entire league was thinking (wishfully?) that GSW would be relevant again this year.
