When Golden State opens the season on its home court, former Warriors star Kevin Durant will be on the other side playing for the Phoenix Suns, giving the home fans at Chase Center their first opportunity to honor everything he did in the Bay Area.
Steve Kerr recalls a one-point Christmas Day defeat at Cleveland in 2016 when Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant were still figuring out how to thrive playing together during Durant's first season with the Warriors, each doing his best to let the other shine bright, and how things finally started clicking from there.
Kerr knows how much that moment will mean to everybody in the sellout crowd - not to mention for Durant himself. "It's very comfortable for all of us when we see Kevin. This will be the 10th or 12th time we've seen him in a different uniform," Kerr said Monday. "This time, we say our hellos and it's great but for the fans it will be different. I anticipate our fans giving Kevin the love that he deserves. Two championships, trying to help us win a third, literally giving his body to the cause.
