Kevin Durant sauntered into the Warriors’ practice facility Thursday afternoon, wearing a natty blue suit, with a white button-down shirt and a red pocket square, and took center stage for the spectacle of an introductory news conference.
He sat in the shadow of a huge panoramic photo of Stephen Curry and Andre Iguodala kissing the 2015 championship trophy as season-ticket holders in the back of the room let their imaginations run wild.
Although he officially signed a two-year, $54.3 million deal, with a player option for the second season, Durant said he’s devoted to staying with the Warriors and helping the franchise add to its trophy case.
