Many Warriors fans deservedly scoffed at the NBA's use of Steph Curry as the subject of its example of the officiating changes that would be enforced for the 2021-22 season, as there were far more egregious offenders to choose from.

Warriors fans, then, probably had a good laugh or two (or three) Wednesday night, and not because their team is 4-0 to start the season, though that surely helped. Rather, some of the players that should have been featured in the NBA's example -- namely James Harden, Chris Paul and Patrick Beverley -- provided further evidence as to why.
