Durant then replied by saying, "I don't think it's fair to minimize what Kevin offers Golden State, and what they offered him, to say that it was the weakest move in National Basketball Association history".
The Golden State Warriors routed the Cleveland Cavaliers, taking them down in five games of a 129-120 victory on Monday.
"It's just a great group of guys, great community, great arena, great fans", Durant said.
You can question the coaching or certain players on the team, but you can never question whether or not the Cleveland Cavaliers cared about losing in the NBA Finals to the Golden State Warriors. But there were really two MVPs. Magic Johnson lost in the title series four times, while his main rival, Larry Bird, lost twice. The Warriors won 129-120 to win the National Basketball Association championship. Golden State in 2015, the Cavaliers past year, the Warriors again this time.
The Warriors drew criticism for becoming a "super team" with Durant's addition. But now, it appears that Danny Ainge and the C's will need to find a way to beat him and the rest of the Warriors in the NBA Finals. The Warriors finished 31-2 in their last 33 games.
The Warriors met and joked around with President Obama, a noted hoops fan, after their championship in 2015.

LeBron James was remarkable in defeat, however. He averaged 35 points a game as the Golden State Warriors clobbered the Cleveland Cavaliers. He's the first player ever to achieve that.
Had Durant been whistled for the foul, Warriors coach Steve Kerr likely would have had to put him on the bench for the final 10 minutes of the first half.
"NBA players have just larger personalities, compared to those in the other major sports and that plays well on social media, for better or for worse", he said.
Monday night's Game 5 conclusion of another Warriors-Cavaliers series rose to an average 15.3 rating among metered market households for ABC, a almost 10 percent lift from the comparable Game 5 overnight score in 2016. Good enough for third on the team. Bob Myers has done a tremendous job of elevating himself as one of the best executives in the history of the game through his impeccable drafting ability. Assistant Coach Mike Brown, who twice was sacked by Cleveland, did a remarkable job in his absence. All five Warriors starters are in their 20s - get used to this Dub Nation.
