Kevin Durant can finally call himself an National Basketball Association champion, and no one can take that away from him.
Fans light a LeBron James jersey on fire after the Golden State Warriors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in game 5 of the NBA Finals in Oakland, Calif., on Monday June 12, 2017. "I just wanted to come in there and just be me".
None of that was an issue for the Warriors as Durant has been called an unselfish player whose only desire was to do whatever is in the best interests of his team.
The Cavs managed to stave off elimination once in this series with a 137-116 win in Game 4 at home but couldn't pull off another improbable comeback this year.
"Well I'm not happy he won his first".
In the second quarter of the contest, James ran down the court on a fast break against Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson. ". Getting that first championship for me was like having my first son".
"We did it together", said Durant, a first-time champion. "I got nothing but love and respect for him, and I can't wait to compete against him again next season". In the other three quarters, Cleveland held a four-point advantage. Instead, Durant joined Stephen Curry in the Bay Area.
