Kevin Durant says joining Warriors super team is ‘the hardest road’

I appreciate all that Kevin Durant brought to Oklahoma and I know someday, soon probably, he’ll regret that he left with unfinished business.

The Golden State Warriors used to be the Washington Wizards.

At Thursday’s press conference, when Durant was introduced as the newest member of the Warriors, he joked “Ron Adams is the only reason I came here”.

Kevin Durant thanks Stephen Curry….

Durant, expected to opt out next summer to sign a fresh contract to maximize his earnings, revealed that the joint pitch made by Curry, Thompson, Green and Andre Igudala sealed the deal.

The 2013-14 MVP also had to address how his relationship with former superstar teammate with the Thunder Russell Westbrook played into his decision.

“But this is the National Basketball Association, and players move on, players play for different teams, teams try to get better“. Oklahoma City had a great core of players, yet they were only able to reach the National Basketball Association finals once over the passed 5 seasons.

One reporter asked Durant if he felt guilty about leaving the Thunder.

Ironically, six years ago after James announced on live TV “I’m going to take my talents to South Beach and join the Miami Heat”, Durant ripped him.

Still, Durant went to bed Sunday “torn” and still uncertain about his choice, and he told his father and representatives he needed a night to sleep on it. He was apparently wowed by a presentation by the Los Angeles Clippers, met with Tom Brady and Boston Celtics, and also met with the San Antonio Spurs. Golden State was one blocked lay up away from winning back to back titles.

Hall of Fame power forward Charles Barkley said on Wednesday he was disappointed that Kevin Durant has opted to ride the Golden State “gravy train” instead of staying in Oklahoma.

Durant joins a Warriors team that lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2016 NBA Finals, becoming the first team in history to blow a 3-1 series lead. His decision reportedly came down to Oklahoma City and Golden State. The Thunder’s hope of returning to the National Basketball Association finals are officially over. OKC must now face their reality and start over. “. I’m just excited to watch you play”. He won’t be getting any endorsements in the midwest but nationally, you bet your new Kevin Durant jersey he’ll be doing some stuff.
