Perhaps all summer long. They are head and shoulders above the league, and appear set up to remain so for years to come.
Two titles and another trip to the Finals puts this three-year stretch in an elite class.
But first, Durant embraced another special someone too.
Steve Kerr is expected to return to the Golden State Warriors' sideline after the team won its second National Basketball Association championship in three seasons under Kerr's direction on Monday night, Warriors general manager Bob Myers confirmed. "It was just ridiculous", Curry said.
"Somebody asked me about it a couple months ago, like a hypothetical, if a championship were to happen what I'd do and I think I answered 'I wouldn't go, '" he said.
In May, Kerr called Trump a "blowhard" who "couldn't be more ill-suited to be president".
"It's just a great group of guys, great community, great arena, great fans", Durant said after the Warriors clinched the title. "It's different just because of what happened a year ago".
Sports are an escape from the real world, but they are also a fairy land that owe their very existence to the rules of countries around them, to the effect of peace and war, freedom and oppression, good and bad.
"Kevin's journey, our team embraced him". "It's easier said than done obviously, but that's the goal".

I think he knew that. Whether it was a contested three-pointer, a forceful drive to the basket, or making plays for his teammates, Durant always delivered crucial plays that brought the Warriors closer to victory.
He wants more teams like the Warriors.
Owner Joe Lacob will be pulling out his pocketbook to potentially give Curry a $200 million deal.
But the Warriors are the only team to achieve 16-1 in reality, not a hypothetical.
Money and egos aside, the Warriors blended beautifully from the day Durant first walked into team headquarters. Durant seemed unguardable in these series. and that says a lot about LeBron's defensive performance in these finals. When he skipped again after the '07 victory, Bush quipped: "I guess his grandmother died again", but quickly added: "Just kidding".
One moment late Monday captured the camaraderie that evolved.
The Warriors made one of the great playoff runs of all time, ending with a win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday.
At the start, Curry took a back seat to let KD get comfortable.
Durant joined a team that had produced the best regular season record ever and a team that had defeated him in the Western Conference finals.
