RE: GS Warriors one win away from setting new NBA record for most wins to start a season

This is by far the best NBA start in history. Comparing other sports becomes tedious for several reasons, including the simple difference in competition level and nuances of the game. For instance, how do you compare this to the '72 Dolphins undefeated season (can't beat that start). That said I think it's unreasonable to ever think and NBA team will go the entire season undefeated simply due to the number of games played.
Baseball is sufficiently different that I think the 35-5 start of the Detroit Tigers is superior, but there's no objective way to decide this. I would also place the '03-'04 Arsenal start above the GS start despite having draws in their incredible run, but again that's in consideration of the differences in the game.
Just throwing this out for conversation and am not taking away anything from the Warriors. It's truly a remarkable feat.
