When Kevin Durant signed with the Warriors in the summer of 2016, people were skeptical about the move. Some thought it would be difficult for Durant to fit into the already existing culture at Golden State. Others believed Durant to be “soft” and trying to ride his way to an NBA Championship, instead of trying to get one on his own. But Durant and Steph Curry proved everybody wrong.

The Warriors team with Durant proved to be immensely successful. They went to three straight NBA Finals and won two of them. Interestingly, they could have had a three-peat if not for injuries to Durant and Klay Thompson in the 2019 NBA Finals. But it seems like this was not the only time Steph and Durant teamed up.

Meanwhile, Golden State has surrounded Steph with enough talent to compete for at least another year or two.
