Before Durant announced that he would join the Warriors, let’s take a look at what happened? In the Western Conference Finals of the playoffs, the Thunder, led by Dewey, met the Warriors, who set an NBA regular season record of 73 wins and 9 losses. However, the Thunder gave the Warriors a head start and won with a score of 3:1. Taking the lead, it seemed that Dewey was close to entering the finals for the second time. But sometimes it may be so close at hand or so far away. In the end, they were defeated by the Warriors in three consecutive games and achieved a shocking reversal.

As a result, that summer became the focus of everyone's attention, because Durant's contract expired and he became a free agent. Everyone was paying attention to his whereabouts, including many teams extending offers to him. An olive branch came out. But Durant understands that the team he wants to join must be a team with the ability to win championships.

After a series of selections, only the old club and the Warriors were left as Durant's choices. His old club, the Thunder, including the management, along with Westbrook and others, communicated with Durant. Westbrook even specifically told Durant that he could ask him what he should do. But in the end Durant chose the Golden State Warriors that had just defeated them.

Perhaps Durant had already made various psychological preparations before announcing the news. He knew that there would be a lot of negative news hitting him, but he still compromised in the face of the temptation of the championship. . Perhaps the words of the Warriors general manager moved his heart: Without you, we might still be able to win 1 or 2 championships; without us, you might also be able to win the championship. But if we join forces, we can win a bunch of championships.

But fortunately, Durant withstood the pressure in the end, successfully won the championship, and won the Finals MVP. This is also the best reward for his decision.
