Kevin Durant discusses Warriors' reputation prior to his joining

Kevin Durant recently stated that he perceived the Golden State Warriors as an underdog franchise before he joined them. In an interview, Durant mentioned that he did not have any personal relationships with the team and noted their history of limited success during his early career. Despite the Warriors' record-setting 73-9 regular season prior to his arrival, Durant's perspective was rooted in seeing the organization as a lesser powerhouse compared to teams like the Lakers or Knicks. His time with the Warriors resulted in back-to-back championships and two Finals MVP awards, yet Durant has not secured another title since leaving the team.
