In a recent interview, basketball superstar Kevin Durant reminisced about his time with fellow baller Steph Curry, expressing regret over not continuing their partnership. Durant lamented, “Sonya, you and I, we were in the thicket together for a few years…I ain’t really want him to go either… Man, we would’ve had 20 rings by now. And it was about 10 years ago. That’s how cold they were.”
Durant’s stint with the Golden State Warriors ended on a sour note when he suffered a ruptured Achilles in the 2019 NBA Finals against the Toronto Raptors, leading to the team narrowly missing out on a historic three-peat, ultimately losing 2-4 in the series.
Since departing from the Warriors, Durant has bounced around different teams, from the failed superteam experiment with the Brooklyn Nets to his current stint with the Phoenix Suns. However, his recent postseason performances have been lackluster, with the Suns getting swept by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round.
Despite their separate paths in the NBA, Durant and Curry recently reunited in the 2024 Paris Olympics, marking what could potentially be their final collaboration on the court. In a historic moment, Curry showcased his exceptional shooting skills while Durant made history by becoming the first player to win four gold medals in Olympic men’s basketball.
As Durant and Curry reflect on their illustrious careers, they can take solace in their shared triumph at the Olympics, solidifying their legacy as two of the greatest players in the game. If they never play together again, they can cherish the memories of winning gold and capturing one last title for old times’ sake.
