Kevin Durant and Tristan Thompson may have been part of heated battles in the last two NBA Finals, but deep down, they are brothers.
Both attended the University of Texas, Durant four years prior to Thompson. But the connection between the Warriors forward and the Cavaliers center comes before those battles for the Larry O'Brien Trophy.
So, how did Thompson feel when Durant signed with Golden State after the Cavs stunned the 73-9 Warriors the 2016 NBA Finals?
"At the end of the day, Kevin is my brother and I remember sleeping on his couch when he was in college when I would come to visit," Thompson told Yahoo's Chris Haynes on the Posted Up podcast.
