Reaction to the Warriors’ NBA Championship Victory From Around the Twitterverse

When you reach dynasty status, social media reaction can be even more varied, intense and humorous. With the Golden State Warriors winning a mind-blowing fourth NBA title in eight seasons (after defeating the Boston Celtics in 6 games), the Twitterverse was quick and eager to react. Here's a sampling.

NBA royalty has spoken

An NBA championship is never just won, it is earned through the pain of endless practice, inevitable losses, and unexpected injuries. Only the strongest prevail. Today a new Golden light shines over the NBA world. Congratulations, Champs. Well deserved. @warriors @StephenCurry30

Games 4-5-6 were an absolute ass-kicking. Three double-digit wins while holding the Celtics to 97 points or fewer. The Warriors' defense was... absolutely incredible.

About Kevin Durant...

The Warriors won a championship before KD.

There’s no doubt the Warriors were stacked when Kevin Durant came to play with the Dubs.

But the fact remains that Stephen Curry has two chips without KD, but KD has zero chips without Steph. pic.twitter.com/7r8htejoGf
