Speaking on Boardroom Talk, the star placed the Brooklyn team ahead of the Golden State Warriors, with whom he won two NBA championships.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI would say Brooklyn.

The Warriors had Steph and Klay, but when you look at that team at the time, Steph was an MVP, but Klay and Draymond didn\u2019t have all the accolades at that time. They were on their way.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>He then highlighted the experience and accomplishments of the Brooklyn roster: <em>\u201cThe dudes I\u2019m talking about in Brooklyn had damn near already completed their careers and got all of the accolades, on top of me, James and Kyrie.
