On purpose, Steph and KD remain mute when asked for advise on how Celtics players might avoid a repetition
Winning consecutive NBA titles is something that Steph Curry and Kevin Durant are well-versed with.
And they certainly won’t be spilling the beans to their fellow Americans on the Boston Celtics, the current champions.
While speaking to media on Wednesday, just before the 2024 Paris Olympics began, Curry and Durant were asked about their teammates, the Boston Celtics’ Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Derrick White, as well as whether or not the three players ever bring up the team’s recent championship.
“Absolutely not,” Durant stated with an air of neutrality.
“It would be wild if [Tatum] every time he walked in just like ‘the champ is here!’ he announced himself,” said Curry. “That would be wild behavior.”
“We’ve got champs on the team, they’re just the most recent ones,” said Durant. But you can see the chemistry between the three of them; they’re not coming in boasting or anything like that; they’re just team guys who respect the game. Everything they’ve done is respected, though.
Curry and Durant won consecutive championships with the Warriors in 2017 and 2018, but they have little interest in assisting their new Celtics teammates in achieving the same in 2024–25.”Indeed,” Curry chimed in.
“They have a great team, so I’m sure they’re already thinking about what it’s like to repeat, but it’s tough to do in our league but we’ll see what happens,” said Durant.
That is likely the right call, considering that both the Warriors under Curry and the Suns under Durant still have championship hopes for the upcoming season.
