Steph Curry and Kevin Durant gear up to give us another classic in the Bay

From rivals, to champions, to gold medalists, to friendly competitors, the story of Curry and KD continues
This is an ode to Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry: two basketball artists, each with a paintbrush in hand absolutely creating masterpieces on the court.
Once upon a time, these two titans of the game formed an unstoppable duo on the Golden State Warriors. They were like peanut butter and jelly—smooth and universally loved. Durant brought the unguardable mid-range pull-up and silky handles, while Curry had defenders doing the cha-cha with his ridiculous range. Together, they made basketball look less like a sport and more like a cheat code.
But now? KD's swapped the Bay for the blistering Arizona sun, joining the Phoenix Suns to find championship success. They're still friends but let's be real: this is like when your best buddy in Mario Kart suddenly starts dropping banana peels right in front of you. Sure, it's part of the game, but it stings a little.
For Steph though, this isn't new. He's been in the league long enough to know that teammates come and go, but greatness stays. While KD might now be launching fadeaways against him instead of alongside him, Curry's not sweating it. Why? Because Curry is the NBA's ultimate teammate—unselfish, humble, and so likable it's almost unfair. His attitude practically screams, "Hey man, let's all have fun… oh, and I'm going to casually drop 50 on your head while wishing you sweet dreams."
Now, KD in Phoenix? It's a great move for him. He gets to team up with Devin Booker and experience even more "will-they-ever-win-it" pressure, but hey, KD thrives in the spotlight. Plus, he's already proven he's a champion. He doesn't need validation—he just needs to hoop.
As for Curry, he'll keep doing what he does best: making three-pointers from the parking lot, weaponizing joy, and reminding everyone why he's the face of the Warriors dynasty. And when these two square off, it'll be less "enemies" and more "old friends competing for bragging rights at the Thanksgiving table."
