Back in 2016, Steph Curry and Kevin Durant became teammates after the latter joined the Golden State Warriors as its small forward. Shortly after the news made headlines, Curry opened up to Marcus Thompson of Bay Area News Group about how the former Oklahoma City Thunder player joined the beloved California-based team. “We were just ourselves. All we did was pretty much talk. We told him how things would be, how we operated and how he would fit in,” he explained (via Bleacher Report). “He would fit right in. He’s a team guy. That’s who he really is.”
Fortunately for Curry and Durant, their time together on the Warriors proved successful — with the team winning not one but two championship titles. However, in 2019, Durant shocked the sports world when he announced that he would leave the Bay-Area team and move on to the Brooklyn Nets. While some fans have since written off any possible reunion between the two players, Curry has echoed different sentiments.
