While there is talk of a possible duo with LeBron James, Stephen Curry has already had the chance to play with Kevin Durant in the past.

Two titles at the end for both men, but some difficulties at the start to collaborate.

The NBA has been on fire for a few days, with some rumors suggesting a possible departure of Steph Curry to join LeBron James at the Warriors.

Not impossible when you see all these discussions, especially since the Chief changed his bio recently, which had the gift of igniting the fans.

They are only asking for that, but we are still very far from it.

Whether we like it or not, associating two big stars together is never easy.

James and Curry seem to have the qualities to impose themselves in the same roster, but this was also the case for Kevin Durant when he arrived at the Warriors in 2016.

And although there were two titles at the end, the relationship between the two was not necessarily very simple at the start.

The Difficult Adjustment Between Durant and Curry
Welcoming a player of Durant’s caliber to your team necessarily requires some adjustments on offense.

Something Curry struggled with, wanting to do too well to allow the Slim Reaper to shine on his new team.

This is what Shaun Livingston, former Warriors player, shares in the Knuckleheads podcast.

LeBron James and Steph Curry teammates? The King’s message that freaks out fans: “They want…

Shaun Livingston: “I’ve never seen a player score as efficiently as Kevin Durant, like 30 points on only 12 shots.

When he came in, it wasn’t really an adjustment for him because he could find his rhythm in a way that I’ve never seen anyone do. Steph, he needed a little more shooting, he needed to find his rhythm. ”

Considered the best shooter in history, Curry needed some adjustments to play with a star like Durant.

Nothing impossible for both men, even if KD himself had to have a discussion with Steph to sort this out.

Livingston: “After the Christmas game, there was an internal conversation between the two where it was said ‘listen, I need you to be Steph Curry’ and then Steph started to say ok, KD is here with us, and from there it was unstoppable.”

The Warriors then went on to win several titles and numerous victories.

But the saga ended a few years later, notably because of Draymond Green.

Kevin Durant forces other players to adjust, as we can see today on the Suns side. Nothing surprising for such a talent, even if Steph Curry ended up finding the formula.

A period that many fans must certainly miss.
