It's called being "results-oriented".
The consensus was that the Warriors were a weak roster with +2800 odds in the preseason, so Curry simply carried them to 67 and 73 wins by having unprecedented domination (unanimous MVP)..
Curry actually won with a sidekick that produced far less than Jeff Hornacek (Klay), which shows how weak the roster was.
This matters because it means that KD didn't join a "stacked" roster and his addition merely made the talent more equal to the Cavs.. The 17' Finals should've been a clash of titans like the 80's Celtics/Lakers, but Lebron only won 53 games, so they were big underdogs...
Lebron's history is to barely win 50 games with the preseason favorite from 11' to 16', thus falling to Finals underdog... So his Finals underdog status is due to weak regular seasons (bad basketball), and not his rosters, since the rosters are initially favored as the preseason favorite..
