Basketball star Kevin Durant jokingly references "gravity" when asked about Stephen Curry during a question-and-answer session with fans.
Venturing Through the Bay Area: Reliving Kevin Durant's Iconic Run with the Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors' partnership with Kevin Durant remains a burning topic in NBA conversations, even years after the powerful duo's departure. Lately, Durant expressed fond memories of his time on court with the incomparable Stephen Curry, sharing his sentiments on social media.
One passionate fan posted a compilation of Durant's top plays alongside Curry during their unforgettable Bay Area run. The exquisitely-edited montage caught Durant's attention, who appreciated the clip and reminisced about their remarkable chemistry.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Durant praised the video and the dynamic basketball displayed within it, noting, "Great footage. Great basketball in these clips. #gravity has been alive n well for a long time."
In 2016, when Durant took the NBA by surprise with a free agency decision that shifted the perspectives of both fans and critics alike, he chose to sign with the considerably dominant Warriors. Already a champion franchise, their roster only sparkled with a tantalizing addition of a generational talent.
At the time, both Durant and Curry held reputations as among the top five players in the league. Together, they led the Warriors to an additional two championships, solidifying the legacy of this dynamic duo as a modern NBA dynasty. Durant remained with the Golden State until 2019, re-establishing himself as a formidable force before moving on to the Brooklyn Nets.
Reflecting on his run with the Warriors, Durant's performance and contributions continue to affirm his time there as the most impressive phase of his career.
The Warriors' tower continues to stand tall
An unforgettable scene from the glory days of the Warriors unfolded, as they decisively defeated the Houston Rockets. The star of the night was none other than Curry, who ignited the Warriors in the decisive fourth quarter. Now, he gears up to take on the feisty Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round.
As history remembers, Durant raised some eyebrows with his decision to join the Warriors in 2016, a move that continues to draw criticism throughout his career. This controversy hasn't dissipated, as each new team he joins brings fresh waves of controversy along with it.
The impetus for Durant's departure from Golden State in 2019 centered on an opportunity to team up with Kyrie Irving in Brooklyn. The Nets later bolstered their roster even further by acquiring James Harden, creating a star-studded trio that aimed to become the luminous new dynasty of the NBA.
When at full strength, the trio of Durant, Irving, and Harden appeared poised to emulate the superteams of yesteryear. However, injuries and off-court complications repeatedly disrupted their momentum, hindering their pursuit of championship glory. Those disputes resulted in the departure of each star, with Durant ending up with the Phoenix Suns in 2023.
Despite the apparent underachievement of this star-studded lineup, many fans remain frustrated and disappointed. Even years after their lackluster tenure together, the expectations for this trio have yet to reach fruition.
Stephen Curry? He's lost none of his edge. The Warriors managed to crush the Rockets – no, they obliterated them. Curry seized the initiative in the fourth and steered the charge. Next up for Warriors' juggernaut is a hungry Minnesota Timberwolves.
