Steve Nash explains why Kevin Durant left the Golden State Warriors

The Golden State Warriors brought on the highly-regarded future Hall of Fame point guard Steve Nash as a player development consultant. That was before the 2015-2016 season, the last the NBA had true parity.

After the historic 3-1 Finals comeback by LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, Durant, who watched the Warriors embarrassed in the Finals, decided to join the Dubs. Three years later, Durant is now a two-time champion.

In those three years, former two-time MVP Steve Nash and the four-time scoring champion Kevin Durant build a strong relationship. Nash, a player that also made a huge mid-career move to join the Suns, understands the mindset of Durant.
