Morning after Warriors' Steph Curry reaches sixth Finals, ESPN analyst says he'd build team around Kevin Durant instead

Not even 12 hours after Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry reached his sixth NBA Finals in eight years, ESPN NBA insider Brian Windhorst was on national television ready to tell you why he'd build a team around Kevin Durant, not Curry.

The reason? Durant is "taller."

"To me I'm going to answer this in a technical way," Windhorst said on KJM, an ESPN2 show you likely didn't know existed and really should keep that way. "... Durant is 7 foot tall. So if you're asking me would I rather have one of the greatest players of all time who's whatever he is, 6'2", 6'3", or one of the greatest shooters of all time who's 7 foot, I'm gonna take the 7 footer and I know that's a technical answer but that's how I'm going to break the tie.
