Stephen Curry Fires Shots at Kevin Durant on the Championships Won With Him
The Golden State Warriors’ legendary run has never been complete without Stephen Curry. You haven’t been paying attention if it seems like a contentious assertion.
That is the phrase that best captures the dynamic tandem of Kevin Durant and Steph Curry throughout their three seasons as members of the Golden State Warriors. According to Basketball Reference, the Warriors had a regular season record of 182-64 during Curry and Durant’s three seasons as teammates in Golden State.
That record increased significantly in the playoffs, where they were 67-14, including their 2017 run where they went a scorching 16-1 en route to the title. However, Steph Curry still leads the offense for the Warriors, as it always has, even when Durant was around and winning Finals MVPs.

When asked to assess the worth of his four championship rings, Curry got down with Sports Illustrated’s Ashley Nicole Moss and played a round of “This or That.” The Warriors player responded emphatically in the affirmative when Moss questioned him about which of his recent championships meant the most to him.
“No, I want this one,” Curry said.
“No, give me this one, all day every day.”
"You don't find me ugly crying on the court for no reason."

Both Durant and Curry played 33.4 minutes per game in their inaugural campaigns with the Warriors. Curry nearly doubled KD’s time in possession while averaging 17.1 more touches per game. Durant’s involvement increased over the course of the following two seasons, but Curry continued to be the focal point of Golden State’s offense during KD’s reign.
To really understand what Curry means to his team, you need to put forth a little more effort and pay closer attention. You can’t look away from Steph for even a fraction of a second if you want to fully comprehend him. Any defense that has ever attempted to stop him will recognize that.
