Stephen Curry recently admitted that he actively lobbied the Golden State Warriors franchise to reacquire Kevin Durant.
this past campaign, Stephen Curry he won his fourth ring and lifted the coveted Finals MVP hardware after being criticized all his life for not winning.
Just a few months after adding a fourth title to his stacked resume, the 2-time MVP has gone to the Registration and talked about loving the idea of Kevin Durant rejoin the Golden State Warriors.
“I never doubted. The idea of playing with KD and knowing who he is as a person, from our history in those three years, I think KD is a really good guy. I think he is misunderstanding you. I think certain things have happened in his life that have damaged his ability to trust the people around him, in the sense of making him feel safe at all times. So all those things, I understand, after having played with him and having known him.
I love that guy.
“And if you were to say, ‘Oh, KD is coming back and we’re going to play with him,’ I had so much fun playing with him those three years, I’d be like, ‘Hell yeah!’ So you have to think: What does that really mean?
How does it look? You tell me that I’m playing with [current Warriors teammates Andrew Wiggins, Jordan Poole, and Draymond Green]I’m like, ‘Hell yeah!’

“Stephen Curry has disqualified himself from the top 10 by saying he would love to have Kevin Durant back”: Skip Bayless
Basketball enthusiasts perceived this quote from Curry differently. While there were some who speculated that The Durantula could possibly team up with SC30 for a second season, there was a majority who attacked the reigning Finals MVP for the same thing.
Skip Bayless is just one of many who believe that The Baby-Faced Assassin is destroying his legacy by wanting to play alongside the 2014 MVP. On an episode of “UNDISPUTED,” Bayless said:
“He (Stephen) has disqualified himself (from the top 10) saying ‘yeah, I won a ring without him and I’d love to have him back.’
How, as a top 10 player, could you after going solo and top your first Finals MVP? How can you publicly admit ‘oh yeah, hell yeah, I push for us to go find Kevin and reacquire him’?
He is (Stephen) a good guy. Well, all of that sells well, but it doesn’t help your legacy. It’s a legacy shredder because you’re like, ‘I can’t win another one without it. I need you to come.’”
How, as a Top 10 player after breaking through and winning his first Finals MVP, say, “Hell yeah, I want him back”? Plus @indisputablenow on FS1. https://t.co/ljn5jVeJuk

As unlikely as it sounds, the idea of Steph and Durant linking up in the future sounds pretty exciting.
