Okay, so I was looking into the Golden State Warriors roster for 2021, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a wild ride. I started by just checking out the basics, you know, who was on the team, their positions, and all that jazz.
First, I needed to find a list of players. I started browsing and stumbled upon a few different sources. Basketball-Reference had a pretty solid list, and so did the official NBA site, but there were some discrepancies between them, which was a bit annoying.
Compiling the List
So, I started compiling my own list. Here’s what I did:
- Gathered Names: I wrote down all the player names from various sources. It was a bit of a mix, but I made sure to include the obvious ones like Stephen Curry, you know, the big names.
- Checked Positions: I noted down their positions – point guard, shooting guard, and so on. Andrew Wiggins was listed as a small forward, which made sense.
- Noted Other Details: I also jotted down stuff like their jersey numbers, height, and birthdates. Just wanted to get a full picture, you know?
Some Interesting Finds
While doing this, I noticed a few interesting things. For example, apparently, Steph Curry had a game where he didn’t make a single shot from the field! Can you believe that? That’s like a once-in-a-career thing, and it happened during this season. Crazy, right? And then there was this guy, Jonathan Kuminga, who dropped 26 points in one game, which is pretty impressive for someone not usually in the spotlight.
Then there was Mychal Mulder, who apparently re-signed with the Warriors in March 2021. It seemed like he had an interesting journey, moving around and then coming back to the team.
Dealing with Inconsistencies
The hardest part was dealing with the inconsistencies between different websites. Some listed players that others didn’t, and some had different information about the same player. It felt like I was piecing together a puzzle, but some pieces didn’t quite fit.
Finalizing the Roster
After a lot of cross-referencing and double-checking, I finally put together a roster that I felt was pretty accurate. It wasn’t easy, and I’m sure there might be some debate about it, but I did my best to make sense of all the information out there. I noticed some players were free agents, like Mychal Mulder before he re-signed. That made things a bit more complicated.
And that’s pretty much it. It was a fun little project, diving into the details of the Warriors’ roster for 2021. Learned a lot about the players and the team dynamics. It’s always interesting to see how a team changes over time, and this was no exception.
