When Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Steve Kerr met with Kevin Durant this summer in the Hamptons to try and lure him away from the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Golden State Warriors contingency wanted to make it clear that nothing comes before championships. Even after their meeting, Curry sent Durant text messages, stressing that winning as many titles as possible is more important than any personal accolades, accomplishments, etc.

PerThe Undefeated:

In his interview on The Lowe Post Show podcast, Kerr shared a story from their meeting, revealing to ESPN's Zach Lowe that as Curry pointed out, how joining forces would be "good" for their respective sneaker brands, Nike and Under Armour, Thompson interjected, wondering if it would also be good for his brand, ANTA.

Poor Klay. Everyone thought it was a joke, but he was probably legitimately thinking about this. So, we'll do the honors. Yes, Thompson, the ANTA KT2 shoes are going to be flying off the shelf now.
