OAKLAND — Steph Curry emerged Saturday from the Boeing 747 fuselage with, once again, the NBA’s Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy, repeating a joyous scene after the Warriors’ victorious flight home from Cleveland in 2015.
This time, Curry had another escort. Kevin Durant quickly emerged from the Warriors’ plane and hoisted his second straight NBA Finals award in the bay breeze with the California sun splashing off their golden hardware.
Next up is Tuesday’s parade through downtown Oakland.
“The parade’s going to be awesome. It’s such a great day,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “We’re making it an annual event.
