Who Has It Better Right Now, Rock Stars or the Golden State Warriors?

Are the Golden State Warriors bigger than Kendrick Lamar, Justin Bieber or (gasp!) Beyonce? Sitting atop the world's largest bandwagon with 73 wins and the momentum of a freight train, they just might be.

Famous athletes and popular musicians inherently have some things in common, right? Both are celebrities. They are beloved by their fan—worshiped, even. Admirers scratch and claw for game and concert tickets like their lives depend on it. Cameras and media members follow their every move. 

So who is bigger at this moment? The Dubs, or the rock stars? Let's examine the evidence. 

Hordes of Delirious Fans

Every home game, the Warriors take the court to the sound of thousands of screaming fans. In 2015, a San Francisco audiologist, Mont Stong, compared the noise level in Oracle Arena to that of a jet engine.

Obviously, the same thing happens at concerts. At an April performance in Birmingham, England, megastar Adele's mic cut out mid-song, and thousands of people in the crowd took over for her. They belted out the lyrics to "All I ask" much like the fans at "Roaracle" might chant "Let's go Warriors!"

The Warriors are so beloved, folks will go to great lengths to get a piece of them. In January, a couple of fans literally went fishing for Curry's autograph outside the Wells Fargo Center. Check it out:

Meanwhile, one bold Rihanna fan actually had the cajones to ask for her autograph while she was on stage. (And she complied, because Rihanna is life.):

Fans in the Bay Area love forward Draymond Green so much, they started a (probably not all that serious) social media campaign to name a town after him. Fo' real:

Then again, two megafans of Ed Sheeran actually named a tiny human after the singer/songwriter in 2014.

ESPN's Marc Stein recalled a story about fans in Detroit chasing the Warriors bus around a hotel. That's dedication. Then again, one Redditor, doogywassa, actually "collected every Kendrick Lamar guest verse, live performance, unreleased track, interview and album analysis and put them all in one place." Intense.

Social Media Love

When fans really love someone, they sometimes feel the need to express that love in ALL CAPS.

OKAY IM OFFICIALLY IN LOVE WITH KLAY THOMPSON

Or, they might just come up with cutesy hashtags:

But wait:

"

#ZaynIsBae  #PillowTalk

This is confusing. Is Curry bae, or is Zayn bae? Who is John Galt? What planet are we on? What does it all mean!?

People love the Dubs, but this person would supposedly part with a kidney for tickets to Beyonce's "Formation" tour:

Celebs Love Dubs, Dubs Love Celebs

It's good to be the Warriors. Celebrities have begun to flock to their games like they're the second coming of the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls (see what just happened there?).

Kendrick Lamar, Jay Z and Beyonce were all on hand for their February matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers.

Drake and Jay took in a game at Oracle Arena in January. Drake was also spotted at a California In-N-Out Burger with Curry and his lovely wife Ayesha.

Speaking of Mrs. Curry, Twitterers love her and her hubs: 

Then again, they also love Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris, aka Talvin, aka Caylor, aka Tayvin: 

Back to the point, it's not just celebrities who love the Warriors. The Warriors also love them. In August, Curry was spotted onstage at a concert by Christian rapper Lecrae. After winning the championship in 2015, Green attended the premiere of Ted 2 and rubbed elbows with actor Mark Wahlberg.

Athlete-to-athlete respect is abundant as well. ESPN's Marc Stein also reported Brazilian footballer Neymar often calls Warriors guard Leandro Barbosa to get his "Steph updates."

Specifically, Stein said (via Igor Mello of CBSSports.com), "Turns out that the Brazilian third of the greatest modern triangle offense going—Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar—needs his Steph updates just like the rest of us."

Neymar also appears to be a Belieber. The plot thickens:

Party Time

Like many celebrities, some Dubs don't mind a party when things go their way. And let's be honest, there has been a lot to celebrate lately.

Guard Klay Thompson hit the L.A. club scene after that February win over the Clippers, per TMZ Sports. And Green took rookie Kevin Looney out to celebrate the Warriors' historic 73rd win in April.

Still, those guys probably got nothin' on the Grammy after-parties: 

Also, when you're an extremely big deal to Anchorman's Ron Burgundy proportions, you get your own shoe. According to digital commerce firm Slice Intelligence (via Javier Hasse of Yahoo Finance), sales of Curry's Under Armour basketball kicks have increased 170 percent in the past six months.

His shoe is still no Yeezy by Kanye West though. Good luck getting a pair of those at face value anytime soon:

Quick! Who wore it best?

Look, the bottom line is this. It's great to be the Warriors, and it's great to be a rock star. Big shock. Throngs of fans all over the world clamor for a piece of any and all of them, wherever they go.

And yet, for the Warriors, life is just a little better. They are historic. They are doing things no one has ever done and might never do again. In the storm of celebrity fame, musicians are the consistent, low rumble of thunder, and the Warriors are the lightning. 

After all that, the verdict is in. The Warriors have it better right now, but one question is still unanswered.

WHO IS BAE?
