Durant told Yahoo Sports. “All-Stars don’t matter, accomplishments don’t matter. It’s about how you play on the court. That’s what separates us from the good teams in the league, is no matter the talent you’ve got, you’ve still got to play every night. That’s why we never come in like, ‘We’re invincible.’ Because teams are getting better, players are good. The schemes, the way the game is taught different. We can’t walk into many games feeling that we’re entitled or that we’re supposed to win. You’ve got to knuckle down and play. This series showed that.”


But sometimes, overcoming a challenge comes down to desire. Green confronted Durant about being too passive, something he’s done with early-morning text messages or enraged on-court rants.

“One thing about Draymond, he knows that I like that type of stuff. He’s knows that it gets me going,” Durant told Yahoo Sports. “And he doesn’t use it all the time. He only uses it when he really needs it. I grew up with coaches walking on the court, dragging me off by jersey, taking me to the sideline because I wasn’t playing well. Or coming home, my mom was like, ‘What the [expletive] was that?’ Excuse my language. I always had somebody on top of me. Now to have somebody who understands that in the NBA, somebody who can challenge me a little bit. It’s only going to make me a better. We go back and forth, it’s only for the betterment of the team. It makes us both lock back in.”
