CLEVELAND -- Kevin Durant has millions of fans around the globe, but none is more supportive, or is happier with what the superstar forward is accomplishing, than the sage on the Warriors bench.
That would be veteran assistant coach Ron Adams, who practically glowed on that day last July when Durant when introduced as the newest Warrior.
Eleven months later, during these NBA Finals, Adams is no less radiant. If anything, he’s even happier.
Not for himself, but for Durant, whom Adams met as a 19-year-old second-year player in Oklahoma City, where Adams had become an assistant coach.
