That team is still pretty fresh in most of our minds, but I can only imagine years from now some young fans learning about the game and they come to find out a roster that dominant existed and wonder to themselves how it happened. KD, Curry, Draymond, & Klay all pretty much at their peaks. With two of them being top 10-15 players ever, the other two being HOFers.

I mean, they at least beat the 2000 & 2004 Team USA squad right?

They would probably beat all of them.

2008 and 2012 teams got tested by far inferior talented teams because those teams played extremely well together.

Conversely the USA teams are slapped together.

Warriors play together as well as those Spain and Argentina teams except they have 10x the talent they do.

Stacked af. They can beat the 1992 dream team as well. Only a kawhi-led team seemed to have a chance at stopping them.

Too bad he was intentionally injured during the starting game of the 2017 wcf, which he avenged two years later in the finals with the raptors.

It doesn't take much to beat Team USA. Even a random Duncan/Manu/Parker Spurs team should beat all versions of Team USA. This is because Team USA is lacking in the 'team' factor. They only trained together for a few weeks. This is also true in other team sports. For example, in soccer, any good league team should beat even the best world cup team despite not having the same talent.
