How NextVR Created Virtual Reality Experience To Help Golden State Warriors Sign Kevin Durant

NextVR executive chairman Brad Allen isn’t sure how USA Today learned of the Warriors enlisting the company to create a virtual reality experience in order to help convince free agent Kevin Durant to come to Golden State

But with NextVR’s role having been made public months ago, Allen spoke Wednesday at Business Insider’s IGNITION conference in New York about how the Warriors’ general manager had been very much interested to have virtual reality be used in the team’s presentation to the free agent Durant.

“He goes, ‘The only thing he’s going to remember is what he sees in VR,'” Allen recalled the Warriors general manager saying.
