The Steve Kerr era has changed everything. Not because Mark Jackson was overmatched as a head coach (that couldn't be further from the truth), but because Stephen Curry developed into an MVP, Draymond Green morphed into a game-changing two-way force, and Kevin Durant eventually joined the squad.

The Golden State Warriors—dating back to their early days in San Francisco and Philadelphia—have boasted plenty of impressive players. Joe Fulks, Neil Johnston, Paul Arizin, Wilt Chamberlain, Rick Barry, the Run TMC combination of Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond and Chris Mullin...you name 'em.

But if we remove the last three years from this franchise's history, a lot changes.

The winning percentage goes down to 46.1 percent. The years per playoff appearance, Finals showing and championship elevate to 2.27, 11.33 and 22.67, respectively. The Dubs would feature "only" 1.16 All-Stars per season. Combine all those factors, and Golden State would drop behind the Portland Trail Blazers, Atlanta Hawks and Phoenix Suns. 

That might not seem like a big decline, but it's a monumental fall when we're only removing three seasons, or just 4.2 percent of the franchise's history. 

On the flip side, the Warriors' marks in those last three years have been mind-numbingly excellent. They've made the playoffs and the Finals every year, earned two championships, produced a whopping nine All-Stars and won a staggering 84.15 percent of their outings. Those scores combine to give Golden State a cumulative mark that would nearly double that of the actual first-place finisher. 

We're looking at a modern-day dynasty that's having a massive impact on a franchise's overall fortunes.
