Stephen Curry: Kevin Durant 'Wasn’t Just Some Hired Gun' During Warriors Run

Stephen Curry has a different perspective than a lot of outsiders do about Kevin Durant's time with the Golden State Warriors.

Speaking to The Ringer's Logan Murdock, Curry explained the Warriors really worked to integrate Durant into their style of play.

"He wasn’t just some hired gun-type vibe for us," Curry said. "We were really trying to integrate him into how we do things."

Following Durant's departure from the Warriors as a free agent in the summer of 2019, some analysts were criticizing him for only looking out for his best interests.

"I feel like KD was always just a mercenary in this," former NBA guard Raja Bell said in July 2019 on the Kanell & Bell podcast (h/t CBS Sports).
