Kevin Durant Appreciates the Reception from the Warriors' Fans
Kevin Durant appreciated the love he receives from his former team Golden State Warriors fans in an interview with Joe Lacob just before the tipoff as the crowd cheered.
“I always feel the love from the fans in the Bay Area. I never thought for a second that I ain’t get no love out here. I heard people saying that I might not have felt that love or that I didn’t know it was this much love. But everywhere I go, all over the world, the country, there’s Warriors fans, and they show me love.” He said.
“So of course I heard it. Especially Oracle, this is my home. You know what I’m saying? A lot of great memories here in the Bay Area. So we have a tight relationship, the fans and myself.” He added as the crowd cheered for his game.
Durant and Curry Rewind Glory Days
Durrant and Curry featured together for the Warriors from 2016 to 2019. During the three seasons in the period, the duo helped the Warriors win two titles in the process, with Durant winning both NBA Finals MVPs. In his final season with the Warriors, both Durant and Klay Thomson endured a season-ending injury, thereby, Durant's glorious stint with the Golden State ended on sour note. However, there is still some years left in the respective careers of the NBA legends, and thus it is probable that the two would play together again.
