“I was shocked that those four guys came to meet me a couple of days ago,” Durant said. “The team won 73 games and a championship before. I didn't think they would be interested in a player like me because they've had so much success.
“But to see them together, they all walked in and it looked like they were holding hands. It was just a family. I could tell they enjoyed being around each other . . . that was something I couldn't ignore. It was just a great vibe throughout the whole day. I'm glad I'm here, man. Like I said, I'm excited, and I'm just ready to play ball.”
“I just felt like this group of guys, when they came in to see me, everything was real,” Durant said “You know, you hear on the outside looking in, you hear nothing but great things about this organization, and you never know how it is until you get face-to-face with these guys, but to see Steph, Klay, Andre, Draymond walk in the house I was at, I could tell they were about business.
“ . . . They're different guys, but they all come together and make it work. Like I said, it was natural. It was authentic, and it was real. I just felt like I needed to be a part of it.”
