TORONTO — At 31, Leandro Barbosa was the oldest player on the roster when he joined the Golden State Warriors before the start of the 2014-15 season. Stephen Curry was just beginning to edge toward global stardom, and the Warriors had not won an N.B.A. Nobody was using the word “dynasty.”“We were underdogs,” Barbosa said. Curry and Thompson — the Splash Brothers — were plenty good even then. But few could have anticipated all the records their Warriors would smash, and all the rings they would chase.
