Steph Curry explains what went down at his NYC meeting with Kevin Durant

In the aftermath of Kevin Durant's quick decision to sign with the Brooklyn Nets, there were a lot of rumors about how his former Warriors teammates learned the news.

One persistent rumor is that Stephen Curry was on the plane back from his Under Armour Asia tour, ready to pitch KD on staying with the Warriors, when he got the news. And although he didn't deny the timing, he did recently add some context around the "pitch meeting" that never happened.

Curry told The Athletic's Marcus Thompson II that the visit wasn't about asking Durant to stay — it was about closing the loop on their work relationship.
