1
00:00:03,789 --> 00:00:09,789
Speaker 1: Dubb Dynasty as a production of iHeartMedia and the NBA.

2
00:00:10,029 --> 00:00:20,469
Speaker 2: I'm not a risk production shot first passion, lead action.

3
00:00:20,389 --> 00:00:24,189
Speaker 3: Kip Hurt. Here's Johnson Jocks get.

4

Speaker 6: Here from Chicago, seventeen seconds from Gage seven or from

00:00:46,749 --> 00:00:53,909
Speaker 7: Jordan help them Chicago with the lane, Michael Jordan running.

9
00:00:53,709 --> 00:01:00,109
Speaker 6: On fumes with forty five points, stopping hut the sign

10
00:01:00,429 --> 00:01:01,189
Speaker 6: by the screen.

11
00:01:01,469 --> 00:01:02,389
Speaker 3: What kind a piece of it?

12
00:01:04,828 --> 00:01:09,988
Speaker 7: Let's just have won their six NBA chip and it's

13
00:01:10,068 --> 00:01:11,309
Speaker 7: their second reaping.

14
00:01:15,188 --> 00:01:16,828
Speaker 3: What's away?

15
00:01:18,509 --> 00:01:23,989
Speaker 8: A bird going wild? Here's fish from downtime. I'm not

16
00:01:24,788 --> 00:01:28,509
Speaker 8: to go sex point like her lash of us?

17
00:01:28,589 --> 00:01:33,709
Speaker 3: Right her pray right tap crip.

18
00:01:35,229 --> 00:01:37,949
Speaker 1: Those are some final moments from the last three three

19
00:01:38,029 --> 00:01:41,549
Speaker 1: peats they've been in the NBA. That last one was

20
00:01:41,628 --> 00:01:44,548
Speaker 1: from the two thousand and two Lakers title, which happened

21
00:01:44,589 --> 00:01:49,069
Speaker 1: to feature former run TMC Warrior Mitch Richmond experiencing his

22
00:01:49,269 --> 00:01:51,949
Speaker 1: first NBA championship in the final season of his Hall

23
00:01:51,989 --> 00:01:56,589
Speaker 1: of Fame career. I'm Israel Gutierres and this is dub Dynasty.

24
00:02:03,669 --> 00:02:04,109
Speaker 4: We left you.

25
00:02:04,509 --> 00:02:07,629
Speaker 1: The Warriors had won their second consecutive title with relative

26
00:02:07,669 --> 00:02:10,829
Speaker 1: ease over the Cleveland Cavaliers in the finals, and Kevin

27
00:02:10,909 --> 00:02:13,948
Speaker 1: Durant had won his second consecutive Finals MVP.

28
00:02:13,829 --> 00:02:18,509
Speaker 9: Award and this year the back to back NBA Finals MVP.

29
00:02:19,149 --> 00:02:20,349
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant.

30
00:02:22,909 --> 00:02:26,269
Speaker 1: Measuring strictly in gold trophies, It's as good of an

31
00:02:26,309 --> 00:02:29,269
Speaker 1: experience as Durant could have wanted when he joined the Warriors.

32
00:02:29,948 --> 00:02:33,668
Speaker 1: Whether or not the experience has matched his expectations, only

33
00:02:33,788 --> 00:02:38,709
Speaker 1: Durant could say, But the quest for greatness continued. Durant

34
00:02:38,749 --> 00:02:41,149
Speaker 1: and the Warriors were attempting to do something no one

35
00:02:41,269 --> 00:02:44,629
Speaker 1: had since the Shaq Kobe Lakers in two thousand and two.

36
00:02:45,429 --> 00:02:48,629
Speaker 1: Lebron certainly hadn't done it, failing at his only three

37
00:02:48,709 --> 00:02:52,948
Speaker 1: p chants in twenty fourteen against the Spurs. Tim Duncan

38
00:02:53,029 --> 00:02:55,548
Speaker 1: and the Spurs couldn't even win two in a row

39
00:02:55,788 --> 00:03:00,309
Speaker 1: while collecting five championships, but Durant was on the verge

40
00:03:00,349 --> 00:03:06,669
Speaker 1: of lifting the Warriors into that type of company. Golden

41
00:03:06,749 --> 00:03:10,269
Speaker 1: State still had to fill out its roster after losses

42
00:03:10,349 --> 00:03:14,869
Speaker 1: like Jajah Peculia and JaVale McGee. They'd replaced them with

43
00:03:14,989 --> 00:03:18,228
Speaker 1: the likes of Jonas Jerebko and former All Star big

44
00:03:18,349 --> 00:03:23,388
Speaker 1: man DeMarcus Cousins. The Warriors had already won two championships

45
00:03:23,429 --> 00:03:26,988
Speaker 1: for the now retired David West, but Cousins was a

46
00:03:27,069 --> 00:03:30,389
Speaker 1: more decorated player with the kind of size Golden State

47
00:03:30,429 --> 00:03:34,469
Speaker 1: could utilize. Even though Cousins was coming off in Achilles'

48
00:03:34,508 --> 00:03:37,389
Speaker 1: tear from his only full season with the New Orleans Pelicans,

49
00:03:37,789 --> 00:03:41,708
Speaker 1: he was still considered an unnecessary influx of talent to

50
00:03:41,829 --> 00:03:45,749
Speaker 1: a two time defending champion. It would take until January

51
00:03:45,829 --> 00:03:48,789
Speaker 1: before Cousins saw the floor, but it was still well

52
00:03:48,869 --> 00:03:52,669
Speaker 1: worth the addition, especially at just over five million dollars

53
00:03:52,709 --> 00:03:53,269
Speaker 1: for the season.

54
00:03:54,029 --> 00:03:57,669
Speaker 10: Here's Cousins, I put my time in the league. I

55
00:03:57,789 --> 00:04:00,708
Speaker 10: did certain things that you know, I feel I deserved

56
00:04:00,749 --> 00:04:01,469
Speaker 10: and earned.

57
00:04:01,229 --> 00:04:01,869
Speaker 11: In this league.

58
00:04:01,949 --> 00:04:04,029
Speaker 10: So if I wasn't going to get what I felt

59
00:04:04,069 --> 00:04:06,389
Speaker 10: I deserved, you know, I was gonna make my own decision.

60
00:04:06,429 --> 00:04:08,509
Speaker 11: And that's how the Warriors came about.

61
00:04:09,189 --> 00:04:11,549
Speaker 10: And I felt like at the time, you know, obviously

62
00:04:11,669 --> 00:04:13,909
Speaker 10: I got injured, so I felt the league was trying

63
00:04:13,949 --> 00:04:19,029
Speaker 10: to use that against me. So I kind of, you know,

64
00:04:20,469 --> 00:04:22,628
Speaker 10: sent the you know, f you back to the league

65
00:04:22,669 --> 00:04:26,509
Speaker 10: and you know, called the Warriors. Obviously they were interested in.

66
00:04:26,829 --> 00:04:29,029
Speaker 10: You know, that's kind of how things transpired.

67
00:04:31,629 --> 00:04:32,389
Speaker 12: From the outside.

68
00:04:32,428 --> 00:04:35,868
Speaker 1: Looking at the Warriors were possibly as loaded as they'd

69
00:04:35,909 --> 00:04:38,628
Speaker 1: ever been, and the pressure of winning a third straight

70
00:04:39,229 --> 00:04:43,269
Speaker 1: wasn't being received the way one would expect. Cousins is

71
00:04:43,308 --> 00:04:46,669
Speaker 1: a good player to view this twenty eighteen nineteen season thrill.

72
00:04:47,149 --> 00:04:50,428
Speaker 1: He derived desperate to win at the highest level, having

73
00:04:50,549 --> 00:04:53,748
Speaker 1: participated in zero playoff games to this point in his career,

74
00:04:54,428 --> 00:04:58,069
Speaker 1: but what he arrived to was a team with unusual

75
00:04:58,189 --> 00:04:58,829
Speaker 1: winning ways.

76
00:05:00,029 --> 00:05:03,029
Speaker 11: Honestly, it was it was super laid back, and it

77
00:05:03,149 --> 00:05:05,589
Speaker 11: was my first time like being around a team like that.

78
00:05:05,748 --> 00:05:09,789
Speaker 11: But sometimes it felt like it was too laid back.

79
00:05:09,868 --> 00:05:11,469
Speaker 11: Like obviously I came into.

80
00:05:11,389 --> 00:05:13,989
Speaker 10: A team that you had won championships and you know,

81
00:05:14,029 --> 00:05:16,309
Speaker 10: it was a pretty much well machine. But it was

82
00:05:16,349 --> 00:05:18,429
Speaker 10: some days like it was so late, Like it was

83
00:05:18,469 --> 00:05:20,269
Speaker 10: some days we would start the day off, we were

84
00:05:21,269 --> 00:05:24,068
Speaker 10: like walking into practice, we start to practice off watching

85
00:05:24,069 --> 00:05:28,629
Speaker 10: it calls and I'm just like, you know, I'm coming here,

86
00:05:28,988 --> 00:05:33,149
Speaker 10: obviously I have I don't have a championship, and I'm like,

87
00:05:33,269 --> 00:05:35,909
Speaker 10: what is this, Like, are we gonna get serious today?

88
00:05:35,909 --> 00:05:37,869
Speaker 11: Are we gonna lock in the day? And it was

89
00:05:38,029 --> 00:05:41,429
Speaker 11: just like this care free, super laid back environment and

90
00:05:41,709 --> 00:05:42,188
Speaker 11: it worked.

91
00:05:42,428 --> 00:05:45,428
Speaker 10: You know, it really worked. You know, guys were pretty

92
00:05:45,789 --> 00:05:47,549
Speaker 10: free for the most part. It was it was a

93
00:05:47,629 --> 00:05:51,628
Speaker 10: stress free environment. It was a really really player friendly,

94
00:05:51,829 --> 00:05:56,029
Speaker 10: like laid back type situation. And you know, those those

95
00:05:56,269 --> 00:05:58,909
Speaker 10: main core guys that were, you know, that foundation of

96
00:05:58,988 --> 00:06:00,469
Speaker 10: that team, they flourished.

97
00:06:00,069 --> 00:06:10,349
Speaker 1: And for those core Warriors, the relaxed practice sessions were

98
00:06:10,509 --> 00:06:14,189
Speaker 1: necessary after years of deep playoff runs. One of the

99
00:06:14,269 --> 00:06:17,549
Speaker 1: primary concerns for Kerr and his coaching staff was to

100
00:06:17,669 --> 00:06:20,949
Speaker 1: monitor the minutes of his stars this season, making sure

101
00:06:20,988 --> 00:06:23,909
Speaker 1: they're not carrying too much of a load and potentially

102
00:06:24,029 --> 00:06:28,269
Speaker 1: injuring themselves. Careth Burke was on the sidelines almost every

103
00:06:28,308 --> 00:06:31,989
Speaker 1: game and spoke to Warriors players and coaches daily. She

104
00:06:32,229 --> 00:06:34,749
Speaker 1: noticed some of the challenges that came with pursuing a

105
00:06:34,829 --> 00:06:37,469
Speaker 1: three feet throughout the season, I think you could start.

106
00:06:37,269 --> 00:06:41,469
Speaker 13: To see it in their legs and their minutes, and

107
00:06:42,308 --> 00:06:45,189
Speaker 13: I knew the training staff was feeling pretty stressed out

108
00:06:45,269 --> 00:06:48,269
Speaker 13: about making sure everybody was in tip top shape to play.

109
00:06:48,549 --> 00:06:51,829
Speaker 13: But there was this feeling of it will work both ways.

110
00:06:51,868 --> 00:06:54,789
Speaker 13: It's like, we can't do this forever, so let's seize

111
00:06:54,829 --> 00:06:58,269
Speaker 13: the moment. I mean instantly. I don't think the team

112
00:06:58,349 --> 00:07:01,029
Speaker 13: started this narrative, but I know media and fans are

113
00:07:01,069 --> 00:07:02,789
Speaker 13: starting to think of it. Well, gosh, if they went

114
00:07:02,868 --> 00:07:05,269
Speaker 13: back to back and this crew was coming back next year,

115
00:07:05,349 --> 00:07:08,829
Speaker 13: could they repeat? And that's just so much pressure on

116
00:07:08,949 --> 00:07:11,629
Speaker 13: a team. You don't even get to enjoy the moment,

117
00:07:11,749 --> 00:07:15,029
Speaker 13: the championship you just won, without thinking about the next

118
00:07:15,069 --> 00:07:17,949
Speaker 13: one you're projected to win. So I do remember that

119
00:07:18,149 --> 00:07:20,869
Speaker 13: hanging over the team a little bit, And ultimately it's

120
00:07:20,909 --> 00:07:23,749
Speaker 13: a compliment for who they were in that moment of time,

121
00:07:23,869 --> 00:07:26,469
Speaker 13: one of the best to do it ever. But that's

122
00:07:26,549 --> 00:07:29,229
Speaker 13: a lot to carry with you all the time, like

123
00:07:29,309 --> 00:07:31,309
Speaker 13: the next one and the next one and the next one.

124
00:07:31,789 --> 00:07:35,509
Speaker 13: And there was a degree of fan expectation that I

125
00:07:35,629 --> 00:07:38,029
Speaker 13: think got to be a little bit too big.

126
00:07:39,109 --> 00:07:42,828
Speaker 1: So if any Warriors players were to put together historic nights,

127
00:07:43,709 --> 00:07:46,869
Speaker 1: it would have to come in an efficient manner. Enter

128
00:07:46,989 --> 00:07:52,629
Speaker 1: Klay Thompson, the author of the thirty seven point quarter

129
00:07:52,789 --> 00:07:55,869
Speaker 1: and the sixty points in twenty nine minutes, had one

130
00:07:55,989 --> 00:07:58,629
Speaker 1: more stroke of scoring genius he wanted to show off.

131
00:07:59,589 --> 00:08:02,629
Speaker 1: Thompson was just coming off his most efficient season fIF date,

132
00:08:02,909 --> 00:08:05,629
Speaker 1: shooting four twenty nine percent from the field and forty

133
00:08:05,669 --> 00:08:08,869
Speaker 1: four from three in the seventeen eighteen season, so you

134
00:08:08,949 --> 00:08:11,429
Speaker 1: could imagine he was feeling great about a third year

135
00:08:11,549 --> 00:08:14,789
Speaker 1: playing next to Duran. That was most evident in the

136
00:08:14,909 --> 00:08:18,469
Speaker 1: eighth game of the season on October twenty nine in Chicago.

137
00:08:19,229 --> 00:08:21,069
Speaker 1: You could tell it was going to be a Clay Knight.

138
00:08:21,269 --> 00:08:27,109
Speaker 1: In the first quarter, Lay Thompson again maybe six of seven.

139
00:08:28,229 --> 00:08:30,749
Speaker 1: The cameras cut to steep Kerr after that six', three

140
00:08:31,229 --> 00:08:33,468
Speaker 1: and he had a wide smile in his face that

141
00:08:33,629 --> 00:08:34,469
Speaker 1: seemed to, say.

142
00:08:35,109 --> 00:08:35,509
Speaker 11: Here we go.

143
00:08:35,629 --> 00:08:39,429
Speaker 1: Again thompson had twenty two points after the first quarter

144
00:08:39,989 --> 00:08:43,029
Speaker 1: and was on pace to Surpass kobe's legendary eighty one

145
00:08:43,469 --> 00:08:46,909
Speaker 1: if he kept up this insane pace With. Clay you

146
00:08:47,069 --> 00:08:49,269
Speaker 1: never know if the flurry will be contained to one.

147
00:08:49,349 --> 00:08:56,349
Speaker 1: Quarter but this one had more. Legs even as The

148
00:08:56,389 --> 00:09:00,269
Speaker 1: warriors were destroying The, bulls the game had. INTRIGUE i

149
00:09:00,269 --> 00:09:02,069
Speaker 1: don't Think clay up come out for the gainst forty

150
00:09:02,109 --> 00:09:02,629
Speaker 1: AND i think.

151
00:09:02,549 --> 00:09:03,549
Speaker 14: He Has Y.

152
00:09:04,389 --> 00:09:07,509
Speaker 15: Thompson he's got forty, one, okay but he also has eleven.

153
00:09:07,589 --> 00:09:07,909
Speaker 3: Threes.

154
00:09:07,989 --> 00:09:12,509
Speaker 1: Jim THE nba record for three pointers made in a

155
00:09:12,589 --> 00:09:15,589
Speaker 1: game was thirteen at the time held by just one.

156
00:09:15,629 --> 00:09:19,629
Speaker 1: Person it Was Steph, curry of, course who'd accomplished the

157
00:09:19,709 --> 00:09:23,189
Speaker 1: feat against The pelicans during the twenty sixteen to seventeen.

158
00:09:23,269 --> 00:09:27,549
Speaker 1: Season Zach lavigne And Damian lillard have also hit thirteen

159
00:09:27,629 --> 00:09:31,869
Speaker 1: in a game since. Then thompson wanted the single game

160
00:09:31,989 --> 00:09:35,829
Speaker 1: record for. Himself the problem was The warriors were up

161
00:09:35,949 --> 00:09:38,989
Speaker 1: one hundred and two to fifty eight When clay hit

162
00:09:39,069 --> 00:09:42,309
Speaker 1: his eleventh three. Point kerk could have sat his starters

163
00:09:42,309 --> 00:09:45,269
Speaker 1: the remainder of the game and they'd probably still win

164
00:09:45,389 --> 00:09:48,469
Speaker 1: that game by double. Figures So thompson had to work.

165
00:09:48,549 --> 00:09:56,109
Speaker 3: Quickly players got another, One he got through the. Back,

166
00:09:56,229 --> 00:09:57,509
Speaker 3: well he's. Won away from the record.

167
00:09:57,789 --> 00:10:01,509
Speaker 7: Defense draymont And damien catch you joo, Free they're.

168
00:10:01,589 --> 00:10:04,549
Speaker 3: Not He's Tom, Steph and with four.

169
00:10:04,469 --> 00:10:07,389
Speaker 1: Point fifty three left in the third, Quarter thompson made

170
00:10:07,469 --> 00:10:11,829
Speaker 1: shooting history. Again FOR nba, history.

171
00:10:14,349 --> 00:10:18,669
Speaker 3: Two threes an game has never been until.

172
00:10:18,829 --> 00:10:23,069
Speaker 1: Time thompson finished fourteen of twenty four from three for

173
00:10:23,229 --> 00:10:25,949
Speaker 1: forty two of his fifty two. Points he did it

174
00:10:26,029 --> 00:10:28,789
Speaker 1: in twenty six minutes and thirty three seconds of playing.

175
00:10:28,869 --> 00:10:31,829
Speaker 16: Time it's the best, feeling especially to see how happy

176
00:10:31,829 --> 00:10:34,269
Speaker 16: your teammates all for. You it's all love between, us

177
00:10:34,349 --> 00:10:37,629
Speaker 16: and these guys have my back at all. TIMES i

178
00:10:37,709 --> 00:10:39,389
Speaker 16: know What i'm capable, of especially you, know in the

179
00:10:39,429 --> 00:10:41,549
Speaker 16: first six seven, games it wasn't really hitting from three

180
00:10:41,589 --> 00:10:44,109
Speaker 16: point live and they come out like. This IT'S i

181
00:10:44,229 --> 00:10:45,869
Speaker 16: give all the credit THAT i am because they were

182
00:10:45,909 --> 00:10:46,949
Speaker 16: trying to find me as much as they.

183
00:10:46,989 --> 00:10:53,349
Speaker 1: Could for one. Game, anyway he was the splashiest of the,

184
00:10:53,389 --> 00:10:56,029
Speaker 1: brothers and it could have set the tone for a

185
00:10:56,109 --> 00:11:02,229
Speaker 1: celebratory season of more impressive. Accomplishments, instead it was just

186
00:11:02,309 --> 00:11:05,989
Speaker 1: a pleasant distraction to what would be an emotionally taxing.

187
00:11:06,109 --> 00:11:09,549
Speaker 1: Season that's because there was another element to this season

188
00:11:09,629 --> 00:11:13,629
Speaker 1: that created an internal, distress perhaps even greater than the

189
00:11:13,669 --> 00:11:17,429
Speaker 1: THREE p. Chase durant would become a free agent again

190
00:11:17,509 --> 00:11:21,189
Speaker 1: after this, season and while technically he could have been

191
00:11:21,229 --> 00:11:23,589
Speaker 1: a free agent after each of the first two seasons

192
00:11:23,629 --> 00:11:26,629
Speaker 1: With Golden, state this would feel like the first Time

193
00:11:26,749 --> 00:11:31,829
Speaker 1: durant might actually pursue outside. Possibilities he signed another one

194
00:11:31,909 --> 00:11:34,149
Speaker 1: year deal with a player option for a second. Year

195
00:11:34,669 --> 00:11:37,949
Speaker 1: that meant questions about his future past the eighteen nineteen

196
00:11:38,029 --> 00:11:41,709
Speaker 1: season would come. Constantly it would be a steady source

197
00:11:41,789 --> 00:11:44,389
Speaker 1: of frustration For durant and the rest of The. Warriors

198
00:11:44,869 --> 00:11:45,509
Speaker 1: As burke.

199
00:11:45,349 --> 00:11:49,509
Speaker 13: Explains it Was kevin's free agency and the uncertainty of

200
00:11:49,629 --> 00:11:54,509
Speaker 13: what he wanted for his, future and he didn't want

201
00:11:54,549 --> 00:11:56,509
Speaker 13: to talk about it a. Lot BUT i think that's

202
00:11:56,589 --> 00:12:00,069
Speaker 13: because he truly didn't. KNOW i don't think he had

203
00:12:00,149 --> 00:12:05,189
Speaker 13: had anything decided until maybe of that. YEAR i really

204
00:12:05,269 --> 00:12:07,069
Speaker 13: think he went into that year, SAYING i don't, Know

205
00:12:07,189 --> 00:12:08,749
Speaker 13: i've just got to feel it, out OR i want

206
00:12:08,789 --> 00:12:11,229
Speaker 13: the time to. DECIDE i think a lot of those

207
00:12:11,269 --> 00:12:14,309
Speaker 13: guys wanted the championship feelings to subside a little bit

208
00:12:14,509 --> 00:12:17,189
Speaker 13: and enjoy a summer and have a break from basketball

209
00:12:17,549 --> 00:12:20,349
Speaker 13: and then have some kind of. Clarity so because his

210
00:12:20,469 --> 00:12:24,469
Speaker 13: own teammates and Even steve did not know WHAT kd was,

211
00:12:24,549 --> 00:12:27,429
Speaker 13: thinking how did they make plans for the future or

212
00:12:27,509 --> 00:12:29,549
Speaker 13: how do they know how to deal with this? Guy

213
00:12:29,989 --> 00:12:32,549
Speaker 13: so there was just, tension that's the best way to put.

214
00:12:32,589 --> 00:12:32,629
Speaker 9: It.

215
00:12:32,749 --> 00:12:35,789
Speaker 13: Tension AND i KNOW kd didn't like being the source

216
00:12:35,829 --> 00:12:39,069
Speaker 13: of that, tension but he was and you have. To

217
00:12:39,789 --> 00:12:43,229
Speaker 13: so everywhere he went on the road was that feeling

218
00:12:43,349 --> 00:12:45,389
Speaker 13: of is this the last time you're playing here in

219
00:12:45,469 --> 00:12:49,269
Speaker 13: A warrior? Uniform all the media members had to ask

220
00:12:49,349 --> 00:12:52,189
Speaker 13: him the same questions because that was the only time

221
00:12:52,269 --> 00:12:54,509
Speaker 13: they would get to do, It so stuff just got

222
00:12:54,549 --> 00:12:58,509
Speaker 13: repetitive for. Him as far as, CRACKS i, mean maybe

223
00:12:58,549 --> 00:13:01,269
Speaker 13: the one that was the most visible was in That clippers.

224
00:13:01,349 --> 00:13:06,749
Speaker 1: Game That clippers. Game it's somewhat mind boggling that after

225
00:13:06,909 --> 00:13:10,709
Speaker 1: two years of the ultimate success, together the demise of

226
00:13:10,789 --> 00:13:15,069
Speaker 1: this corps can come down to That clippers game On november,

227
00:13:15,189 --> 00:13:19,669
Speaker 1: twelfth twenty, eighteen not even the entire, game, actually just

228
00:13:19,789 --> 00:13:23,189
Speaker 1: the end of regulation and the ensuing break before. Overtime

229
00:13:24,029 --> 00:13:27,189
Speaker 1: that was when a divide Between durant And Draymond green

230
00:13:27,589 --> 00:13:30,429
Speaker 1: appeared to expose itself for all the cameras to, catch

231
00:13:31,109 --> 00:13:33,989
Speaker 1: and it seemed to already be too large a gap to.

232
00:13:34,109 --> 00:13:38,989
Speaker 1: Bridge winning is labeled a cure, all but even some

233
00:13:39,149 --> 00:13:42,709
Speaker 1: of the most successful teams IN nba history have infamous

234
00:13:42,789 --> 00:13:46,549
Speaker 1: feuds within. Them among the most notable were those three

235
00:13:46,629 --> 00:13:50,869
Speaker 1: FEET La, lakers who seemed to succeed despite the constant

236
00:13:50,909 --> 00:13:55,029
Speaker 1: bickering Between Kobe bryant And shiquil. O'Neal These warriors would

237
00:13:55,069 --> 00:13:57,709
Speaker 1: throw their name on the list of winners with internal

238
00:13:57,789 --> 00:14:02,069
Speaker 1: squad and it started With Golden state's second to last

239
00:14:02,109 --> 00:14:05,709
Speaker 1: possession of regulation in a tie. Game that was When

240
00:14:05,789 --> 00:14:10,069
Speaker 1: durant had an opportunity to put The warriors. Ahead he

241
00:14:10,149 --> 00:14:13,149
Speaker 1: grabbed a, rebound checked the time on the, clock and

242
00:14:13,309 --> 00:14:16,469
Speaker 1: dribbled into a full up three that missed with thirty seconds.

243
00:14:16,589 --> 00:14:24,109
Speaker 3: Left williams trying to untie. It he has had a

244
00:14:24,349 --> 00:14:26,429
Speaker 3: miserable shooting night that he's in and out on that

245
00:14:26,509 --> 00:14:27,029
Speaker 3: one as.

246
00:14:27,069 --> 00:14:32,629
Speaker 15: Well, williams he's three and Fifteen durand for three found

247
00:14:32,709 --> 00:14:35,509
Speaker 15: he cannot foul and he took the quick one because

248
00:14:35,549 --> 00:14:37,149
Speaker 15: the worst he gets the final possession is.

249
00:14:37,189 --> 00:14:41,989
Speaker 1: Accurate Lou williams of The clippers would barely hit the

250
00:14:42,069 --> 00:14:44,909
Speaker 1: rim on his next shot at, him Leaving Draymond green

251
00:14:44,989 --> 00:14:52,949
Speaker 1: with the rebound and five seconds left in. Regulation As

252
00:14:53,029 --> 00:14:55,549
Speaker 1: green gathered the, ball he was running up the right

253
00:14:55,629 --> 00:14:58,429
Speaker 1: side of The Staples center, floor To green's left and

254
00:14:58,589 --> 00:15:02,349
Speaker 1: slightly trailing. Him durant aggressively clapped for the ball three.

255
00:15:02,429 --> 00:15:06,549
Speaker 1: Times rather than pass back To, durant who just missed

256
00:15:06,589 --> 00:15:09,229
Speaker 1: on a chance to take the, Lead green pushed the

257
00:15:09,269 --> 00:15:11,949
Speaker 1: ball up the, floor only to turn it over as time.

258
00:15:12,029 --> 00:15:17,269
Speaker 15: Expired here's the Crafty williams, again down to Three agadala

259
00:15:17,349 --> 00:15:18,909
Speaker 15: stayed down, outside almost.

260
00:15:18,629 --> 00:15:20,869
Speaker 3: Like an airball had ticked. Iron they don't use a

261
00:15:20,949 --> 00:15:21,549
Speaker 3: time out at.

262
00:15:21,509 --> 00:15:24,589
Speaker 8: Three, raymond at, two they gotta get a shot, off

263
00:15:24,669 --> 00:15:24,949
Speaker 8: and they.

264
00:15:25,069 --> 00:15:30,109
Speaker 15: Don't it will go to, overtime which is still a

265
00:15:30,229 --> 00:15:31,989
Speaker 15: win for The, warriors but you would have.

266
00:15:32,029 --> 00:15:33,669
Speaker 3: Loved to have had a shot to win the.

267
00:15:33,749 --> 00:15:37,829
Speaker 1: Game as they walked back to the, bench there wasn't

268
00:15:37,949 --> 00:15:41,629
Speaker 1: much of a sign of, frustration but the tension became

269
00:15:41,789 --> 00:15:45,269
Speaker 1: much more. Obvious as the break. Continued durant And green

270
00:15:45,349 --> 00:15:48,469
Speaker 1: could be seen having a heat of. Discussion on one

271
00:15:48,589 --> 00:15:51,589
Speaker 1: end of the team, Gathering Andrea gudala was attempting to

272
00:15:51,669 --> 00:15:55,229
Speaker 1: Calm durant, down while on the other, End draymond was

273
00:15:55,309 --> 00:15:58,829
Speaker 1: returning to the floor With cousins And Sean livingston trying

274
00:15:58,909 --> 00:16:02,029
Speaker 1: to settle. Him The warriors would go on to lose

275
00:16:02,069 --> 00:16:05,549
Speaker 1: the game in. Overtime cousins hadn't been around for the

276
00:16:05,629 --> 00:16:08,509
Speaker 1: previous two, seasons but he could see the kind of

277
00:16:08,589 --> 00:16:13,829
Speaker 1: effect that time together had on these two cornerstones of the. Organization, uh.

278
00:16:15,269 --> 00:16:17,069
Speaker 11: It was just some things said that shouldn't have been,

279
00:16:17,149 --> 00:16:21,109
Speaker 11: said and up and lines were.

280
00:16:21,149 --> 00:16:25,109
Speaker 10: Crossed so you, KNOW i can understand somebody feeling it

281
00:16:25,229 --> 00:16:27,189
Speaker 10: a certain type of way once the line was, crossed

282
00:16:27,549 --> 00:16:28,389
Speaker 10: especially as grown.

283
00:16:28,469 --> 00:16:31,269
Speaker 11: Men so you, know once that situation.

284
00:16:31,029 --> 00:16:33,309

00:16:33,389 --> 00:16:36,869
Speaker 10: they you, know they, quickly you, know made sure they resolved.

286
00:16:36,869 --> 00:16:39,949

00:16:56,269 --> 00:16:58,349
Speaker 10: Situation you, know you need to speak up. First it

294
00:16:58,349 --> 00:17:02,149
Speaker 10: should start with an. Apology and you, Know draymond and

295
00:17:02,309 --> 00:17:05,109
Speaker 10: him eventually got it figured. Out you, know they moved

296
00:17:05,148 --> 00:17:07,869
Speaker 10: on from. It you know how great of a relationship

Speaker 11: But they were resolved in the best, way and you,

300
00:17:16,509 --> 00:17:17,229
Speaker 11: know we tried to move.

301
00:17:17,269 --> 00:17:23,749
Speaker 1: Forward this wasn't an ordinary disagreement among. Teammates first of,

302
00:17:23,789 --> 00:17:27,749
Speaker 1: all it Was, november the stress of the season hadn't

303
00:17:27,749 --> 00:17:30,909
Speaker 1: even hit, yet and here Where durant And green having

304
00:17:30,989 --> 00:17:35,829
Speaker 1: to be, separated and based on just how obviously Desperate

305
00:17:35,989 --> 00:17:39,389
Speaker 1: iguadala And cousins were to help squash, it you could

306
00:17:39,469 --> 00:17:41,989
Speaker 1: tell this argument had a lot more weight to it

307
00:17:42,829 --> 00:17:45,429
Speaker 1: if the reactions of teammates wasn't enough to label this

308
00:17:45,549 --> 00:17:48,909
Speaker 1: dispute a fracture within the. Team the reaction from The

309
00:17:48,949 --> 00:17:53,269
Speaker 1: warriors front office certainly Was green was suspended for one

310
00:17:53,349 --> 00:17:58,509
Speaker 1: game for his. Actions durant was not. Disciplined that seemed

311
00:17:58,509 --> 00:18:02,349
Speaker 1: to allow blame to be placed In draymond's, direction and

312
00:18:02,509 --> 00:18:05,829
Speaker 1: With durant And pa ding free, agency it was also

313
00:18:05,989 --> 00:18:09,869
Speaker 1: seen by some as pandering To kde and hopes he'd

314
00:18:09,909 --> 00:18:12,829
Speaker 1: resigned With Golden. State once, again Here's.

315
00:18:12,909 --> 00:18:15,669
Speaker 13: Burke they lost a big game and cameras caught, it

316
00:18:15,749 --> 00:18:17,869
Speaker 13: and they were having that argument about who was doing.

317
00:18:17,949 --> 00:18:21,989
Speaker 13: What but that was that was just like flow of

318
00:18:22,029 --> 00:18:23,069
Speaker 13: the game basketball.

319
00:18:23,149 --> 00:18:23,909
Speaker 7: STUFF i.

320
00:18:24,029 --> 00:18:28,389
Speaker 13: THOUGHT i remember sitting and waiting at an away. Game right,

321
00:18:28,469 --> 00:18:31,989
Speaker 13: afterward they came out onto the floor for shoot around.

322
00:18:32,189 --> 00:18:35,229
Speaker 13: TALKING i, mean they weren't frosting each. Other it was

323
00:18:35,349 --> 00:18:38,109
Speaker 13: not that cold as it looked from the. Outside BUT

324
00:18:38,229 --> 00:18:41,229
Speaker 13: i do understand why that is like a narrative point

325
00:18:41,469 --> 00:18:45,509
Speaker 13: of the fracturing between this team And draymond will tell,

326
00:18:45,509 --> 00:18:48,429
Speaker 13: you AND i actually kind of agree with him that

327
00:18:48,549 --> 00:18:51,229
Speaker 13: The warriors didn't handle that the right. WAY i don't

328
00:18:51,229 --> 00:18:53,629
Speaker 13: think he should have been. SUSPENDED i think that was

329
00:18:53,749 --> 00:18:56,869
Speaker 13: just an argument between, teammates a misunderstanding. There but it

330
00:18:57,029 --> 00:19:00,549
Speaker 13: happened to blow up and The warriors were TREATING kd

331
00:19:01,149 --> 00:19:03,589
Speaker 13: a little. Differently, okay here we need to talk about this.

332
00:19:03,709 --> 00:19:06,909
Speaker 13: Too that last, season because The warriors didn't know if

333
00:19:06,909 --> 00:19:10,269
Speaker 13: he was staying or, going everyone was on eggshells Around.

334
00:19:10,349 --> 00:19:12,069
Speaker 13: Katie he was aware of.

335
00:19:12,149 --> 00:19:13,269
Speaker 1: It he didn't like.

336
00:19:13,389 --> 00:19:15,509
Speaker 13: IT i mean he even told Media he's like in

337
00:19:15,629 --> 00:19:17,349
Speaker 13: the locker, room, like, guys are you afraid to talk to?

338
00:19:17,429 --> 00:19:18,029
Speaker 1: Me what's going?

339
00:19:18,109 --> 00:19:20,669
Speaker 13: On like people just weren't approaching him. Anymore that we

340
00:19:20,749 --> 00:19:23,189
Speaker 13: were kind of giving him distance and wondering are the

341
00:19:23,229 --> 00:19:25,509
Speaker 13: little storm clouds over his head? Today is he had

342
00:19:25,549 --> 00:19:28,309
Speaker 13: a joky mood? Today sometimes he can be a hard

343
00:19:28,389 --> 00:19:31,309
Speaker 13: guy to. Read so there's just all sorts of things swirling,

344
00:19:31,349 --> 00:19:34,709
Speaker 13: around AND i think The warriors felt like they had

345
00:19:34,749 --> 00:19:36,829
Speaker 13: to put kat on a little bit of a pedestal

346
00:19:36,949 --> 00:19:38,629
Speaker 13: to see if he was going to stay to see

347
00:19:38,669 --> 00:19:40,869
Speaker 13: if they could make him. Stay AND i think they

348
00:19:40,949 --> 00:19:42,469
Speaker 13: handled that situation With draymond.

349
00:19:42,509 --> 00:19:46,949
Speaker 1: Wrong looking, Back Steve kerr believes the organization Handled green.

350
00:19:47,069 --> 00:19:53,509
Speaker 17: Properly, no there's no no regrets for suspending. Him you,

351
00:19:53,589 --> 00:20:00,709
Speaker 17: know what he did was blatantly wrong and they deserved

352
00:20:00,749 --> 00:20:00,909
Speaker 17: to be.

353
00:20:01,029 --> 00:20:04,429
Speaker 1: Suspended if The warriors play fall heowing the suspension was

354
00:20:04,469 --> 00:20:08,589
Speaker 1: any indication this dispute Between green And durant did affect

355
00:20:08,669 --> 00:20:11,789
Speaker 1: the group as a. Whole this was easily the worst

356
00:20:11,789 --> 00:20:15,269
Speaker 1: stretch for The Kadie, warriors losing eight of thirteen. Games

357
00:20:16,029 --> 00:20:19,109
Speaker 1: making matters worse For durant Was curry missed many of

358
00:20:19,189 --> 00:20:22,469
Speaker 1: these games with a groin, strand giving the impression that

359
00:20:22,589 --> 00:20:25,549
Speaker 1: The warriors don't operate as well When durant is the

360
00:20:25,629 --> 00:20:29,589
Speaker 1: focal point of the. Offense as opposed To, Curry durant

361
00:20:29,749 --> 00:20:33,149
Speaker 1: is something of a victim of his own, greatness given

362
00:20:33,229 --> 00:20:37,109
Speaker 1: the ease with which he can. Score sometimes running offense

363
00:20:37,709 --> 00:20:40,309
Speaker 1: isn't as necessary as it is When curry is in the.

364
00:20:40,349 --> 00:20:43,989
Speaker 1: Lineup that can create a stagnant offense that relies on

365
00:20:44,149 --> 00:20:47,389
Speaker 1: isolation a bit too, much even for someone as good

366
00:20:47,469 --> 00:20:50,789
Speaker 1: an isolation As. Durant but it wasn't just the players

367
00:20:50,829 --> 00:20:54,149
Speaker 1: who seemed a tad board with the regular. Season the

368
00:20:54,269 --> 00:20:57,869
Speaker 1: media was often looking past the season and wondering About

369
00:20:57,989 --> 00:21:00,949
Speaker 1: durant's pending free. Agency Here's, burke.

370
00:21:01,349 --> 00:21:03,949
Speaker 13: All the other guys retired of being asked about kad

371
00:21:04,469 --> 00:21:06,749
Speaker 13: When katie didn't want to speak for himself because he

372
00:21:06,949 --> 00:21:09,949
Speaker 13: was tired about. It so that storyline just dominated the.

373
00:21:10,029 --> 00:21:14,429
Speaker 13: YEAR i also remember feeling like they knew how good

374
00:21:14,549 --> 00:21:17,109
Speaker 13: they were and that their chances that they were favored

375
00:21:17,149 --> 00:21:21,869
Speaker 13: to win another. Championship So january was an absolute. Slog

376
00:21:22,669 --> 00:21:25,469
Speaker 13: anytime they faced one of the bottom dwellers in the,

377
00:21:25,549 --> 00:21:27,589
Speaker 13: league it was, Like, oh is this going to be

378
00:21:27,829 --> 00:21:31,189
Speaker 13: a trap? Game or can they muster the energy to

379
00:21:31,309 --> 00:21:34,229
Speaker 13: give a frankly about this team when they know that

380
00:21:34,349 --> 00:21:37,509
Speaker 13: the real prize is in the. Postseason in some games

381
00:21:37,549 --> 00:21:41,109
Speaker 13: they could. Not some games they just could, not and

382
00:21:41,189 --> 00:21:42,269
Speaker 13: they had a hard time hiding.

383
00:21:42,349 --> 00:21:46,069
Speaker 1: That Come, january at least The warriors had another pleasant

384
00:21:46,109 --> 00:21:49,668
Speaker 1: distraction that would at the very least focus the attention

385
00:21:49,789 --> 00:21:53,389
Speaker 1: on a positive. Storyline DeMarcus cousins would make his return

386
00:21:53,469 --> 00:21:56,909
Speaker 1: from an achilles injury On january. Eighteenth he was a

387
00:21:56,989 --> 00:22:00,029
Speaker 1: bruising center that also had a three point shooting, range

388
00:22:00,789 --> 00:22:04,709
Speaker 1: seemingly a perfect fit to complement this. Group cousins could

389
00:22:04,749 --> 00:22:08,589
Speaker 1: also provide some relief That, Curry, Durant, green And thompson

390
00:22:09,149 --> 00:22:13,069
Speaker 1: all desperately. Needed despite not playing for his first few

391
00:22:13,109 --> 00:22:17,069
Speaker 1: months In Golden, State cousins was fitting right, in especially

392
00:22:17,309 --> 00:22:20,469
Speaker 1: because of a growing friendship With. Dreaming we clicked day.

393
00:22:20,509 --> 00:22:23,789
Speaker 10: One, obviously me And draymond spent time together With TEAM,

394
00:22:23,949 --> 00:22:25,869
Speaker 10: usa so we really got cool.

395
00:22:25,949 --> 00:22:27,709
Speaker 11: Then we you, know we picked on each other a.

396
00:22:27,749 --> 00:22:29,789
Speaker 10: Lot we were always joking on one, another so our

397
00:22:29,829 --> 00:22:32,869
Speaker 10: relationship started to form. Then and, uh you, know ONCE

398
00:22:32,949 --> 00:22:37,509
Speaker 10: i got traded there and brought In, draymond crazy. Thing

399
00:22:37,629 --> 00:22:40,309
Speaker 10: we literally it was like a two minute walk from

400
00:22:40,349 --> 00:22:42,709
Speaker 10: my house to, his so we ended up being basically.

401
00:22:42,829 --> 00:22:46,229
Speaker 11: Neighbors and he ended up coming over my house the

402
00:22:46,309 --> 00:22:46,789
Speaker 11: first DAY.

403
00:22:46,709 --> 00:22:48,549
Speaker 10: I moved, in and you, know we just kind of

404
00:22:48,629 --> 00:22:50,789
Speaker 10: kicked it and, talked and you, know he kind of

405
00:22:50,829 --> 00:22:52,909
Speaker 10: gave me the layer of the, land and you, know

406
00:22:53,029 --> 00:22:55,029
Speaker 10: from day one he kind of you, know put his

407
00:22:55,149 --> 00:22:57,349
Speaker 10: arm around me and made that transition for me a

408
00:22:57,389 --> 00:22:59,669
Speaker 10: little bit more. Easy by the, time you, KNOW i

409
00:22:59,749 --> 00:23:01,989
Speaker 10: got back on my, feet the league had, evolved AND

410
00:23:02,069 --> 00:23:05,989
Speaker 10: i was just basically two years so the defenses were

411
00:23:05,989 --> 00:23:08,749
Speaker 10: a lot. Different the game had kind of sped up

412
00:23:08,789 --> 00:23:11,429
Speaker 10: a lot more than the last TIME i officially, played

413
00:23:11,949 --> 00:23:13,428
Speaker 10: SO i had to get used to the pace as.

414
00:23:13,509 --> 00:23:17,869
Speaker 10: Well but, offensively for the most, part most of the

415
00:23:17,989 --> 00:23:20,869
Speaker 10: group was so talented and so great like for the most,

416
00:23:20,909 --> 00:23:23,789
Speaker 10: part if you made a mistake on, offense it was

417
00:23:23,869 --> 00:23:26,709
Speaker 10: being covered up either By Kevin, Durant Steph, curry Or Glay,

418
00:23:26,789 --> 00:23:30,749
Speaker 10: thoms so most mistakes turned into an assist or you,

419
00:23:30,829 --> 00:23:31,789
Speaker 10: know a play to.

420
00:23:31,909 --> 00:23:36,509
Speaker 1: Celebrate despite time off from The, Achilles cousins played thirty

421
00:23:36,589 --> 00:23:39,948
Speaker 1: regular season games for The warriors and averaged sixteen, points

422
00:23:40,189 --> 00:23:44,989
Speaker 1: eight rebounds in one and a half. BLOCKS i just actually.

423
00:23:44,749 --> 00:23:45,269

427
00:23:56,069 --> 00:23:58,989
Speaker 1: wins one less than in the previous, season but still

428
00:23:59,029 --> 00:23:59,789
Speaker 1: a top The Western.

429
00:23:59,829 --> 00:24:12,309
Speaker 12: Conference if the fractures.

430
00:24:11,869 --> 00:24:15,069
Speaker 1: From The november dust up would show, themselves it would

431
00:24:15,069 --> 00:24:17,669
Speaker 1: be in the. Playoffs and who would The warriors face

432
00:24:17,709 --> 00:24:20,229
Speaker 1: in the first round of a three peat? Attempt it

433
00:24:20,269 --> 00:24:23,549
Speaker 1: would be The, clippers meaning The warriors would play at

434
00:24:23,669 --> 00:24:27,029
Speaker 1: least two playoff games on the court Where draymond And katie.

435
00:24:27,109 --> 00:24:32,109
Speaker 1: Feuded making things more, difficult The warriors would lose their starting.

436
00:24:32,229 --> 00:24:36,069
Speaker 1: Center just two games into the, playoffs after The warriors

437
00:24:36,109 --> 00:24:40,029
Speaker 1: Took game, One cousins tore a left quadriceps muscle while

438

Speaker 1: Playoffs and you.

441
00:24:49,869 --> 00:24:52,989

442
00:24:53,269 --> 00:24:55,949
Speaker 9: on the floor on the defensive being grabbing his left.

443
00:24:56,029 --> 00:25:00,109
Speaker 8: Hip Carrier tody had to steal that landed hard and

444
00:25:00,229 --> 00:25:01,429
Speaker 8: it's a three part poor.

445
00:25:01,549 --> 00:25:06,309
Speaker 17: Shobbit Heck DeMarcus cousins toward the.

446

00:25:10,429 --> 00:25:12,989
Speaker 9: did and they're calling that for, him and he looks

449
00:25:13,069 --> 00:25:14,349
Speaker 9: very frustrated running to the.

450
00:25:14,429 --> 00:25:18,509

Speaker 1: home playoff.

459
00:25:46,749 --> 00:25:49,109
Speaker 18: Game they were playing A clippers team that, is like

Speaker 18: they don't Have Paul, Georgia Kwhi leonard yet it's Like

461

Speaker 18: Wise The warriors wax him in the first, Game game

463
00:26:00,469 --> 00:26:02,669

Speaker 18: sweep that. SERIES kd at the time is and they

465
00:26:07,669 --> 00:26:09,388
Speaker 18: would tell you even late in the regular, season as

466
00:26:09,429 --> 00:26:11,669
Speaker 18: he was in some ways just grumbling about the whole

467
00:26:11,709 --> 00:26:13,869
Speaker 18: situation in. General he was kind of playing very, passively

Speaker 1: Am the clip gained plenty of traction as it Showed

521
00:28:31,509 --> 00:28:35,149
Speaker 1: durant at his most self assured despite the playoff, loss

522
00:28:36,149 --> 00:28:39,909
Speaker 1: he'd go on to show, everyone especially The, clippers what

523
00:28:40,069 --> 00:28:46,829
Speaker 1: it meant that he Was Kevin durant. Right he ended

524
00:28:46,869 --> 00:28:50,029
Speaker 1: The clipper season over the next four games with totals

525

Speaker 1: of thirty, eight thirty, three forty, five and fifty. Points

526
00:28:54,429 --> 00:28:55,869
Speaker 1: in the Closeout game, six.

527
00:28:56,749 --> 00:28:59,469
Speaker 3: Good opportunity For durant to go two for, one try

528
00:28:59,509 --> 00:29:02,189
Speaker 3: to get a quick shot. Up durant does three pointer.

529
00:29:02,669 --> 00:29:07,189
Speaker 7: Bang kevin durantce got thirty six in the Lead balloons to.

530
00:29:07,309 --> 00:29:11,829
Speaker 1: Nineteen cousins was out with his quaet injury While durant

531
00:29:11,949 --> 00:29:15,429
Speaker 1: was closing out the, series but he wasn't surprised one.

532
00:29:15,509 --> 00:29:19,429
Speaker 1: Bit But durant's response After game, Two, WELL.

533
00:29:19,549 --> 00:29:22,069
Speaker 10: Kd, man he's just about his business and that's SOMETHING

534
00:29:22,109 --> 00:29:26,349
Speaker 10: i always admired. About he says a, standard he sticks

535
00:29:26,349 --> 00:29:27,429
Speaker 10: to his standard every single.

536
00:29:27,549 --> 00:29:32,309
Speaker 11: Day he's a very schedule oriented type of.

537
00:29:32,349 --> 00:29:34,949
Speaker 10: GUY i THINK kd was at a point where he

538
00:29:35,109 --> 00:29:38,589
Speaker 10: was so so damn, good LIKE i think he used

539
00:29:38,869 --> 00:29:40,989
Speaker 10: some of, that AND i may be. Wrong this is

540
00:29:41,109 --> 00:29:43,429
Speaker 10: just my perspective of, it BUT i THINK i thought

541
00:29:43,629 --> 00:29:45,549
Speaker 10: he was using a lot of the outside noise to

542
00:29:45,669 --> 00:29:49,469
Speaker 10: kind of fuel, him and it was maybe perceive the

543
00:29:49,589 --> 00:29:50,469
Speaker 10: wrong way from the.

544
00:29:50,589 --> 00:29:54,069
Speaker 11: Outside and he also didn't really let us. In you,

545
00:29:54,149 --> 00:29:56,949
Speaker 11: know that's his. Decision but for, ME i felt like

546
00:29:56,989 --> 00:29:58,749
Speaker 11: he used a lot of stuff to just kind of

547
00:29:58,829 --> 00:30:00,029
Speaker 11: motivate him because.

548
00:30:01,429 --> 00:30:04,189
Speaker 10: He just he's at a level of great to where

549
00:30:04,389 --> 00:30:07,789
Speaker 10: like after he got his first, ONE i think he

550
00:30:07,949 --> 00:30:10,629
Speaker 10: was just looking for more. MOTIVATION i don't think that

551
00:30:10,869 --> 00:30:14,309
Speaker 10: first one fulfilled you, know that hunger or whatever that

552
00:30:14,509 --> 00:30:19,229
Speaker 10: missing place was, for so you, know the next ones after,

553
00:30:19,309 --> 00:30:22,229
Speaker 10: THAT i think he was just searching for motivation to you,

554
00:30:22,309 --> 00:30:24,309
Speaker 10: know really really want to go and get it.

555
00:30:24,429 --> 00:30:26,909
Speaker 11: Again so AND i could be completely, wrong and that's

556
00:30:26,989 --> 00:30:27,189
Speaker 11: just my.

557
00:30:27,309 --> 00:30:32,789
Speaker 1: Perception Whether durant's motivations came from the outside noise or

558
00:30:32,869 --> 00:30:36,109
Speaker 1: his internal, drive it wouldn't matter much come the next.

559
00:30:36,189 --> 00:30:40,789
Speaker 1: Round waiting for The warriors where they're postseason nemesis The Houston,

560
00:30:40,909 --> 00:30:44,949
Speaker 1: Riots and after four, games the series was, tied with

561
00:30:45,069 --> 00:30:46,389
Speaker 1: both teams winning their two home.

562
00:30:46,469 --> 00:30:51,309
Speaker 5: Games, well it's a four point lead for the, lockage

563

Speaker 5: It this series has just gotten incredibly.

566
00:31:02,349 --> 00:31:08,429
Speaker 1: Changed then Came game, five in the midst of another

567
00:31:08,509 --> 00:31:12,349
Speaker 1: close battle against a bitter, Rival durant suffered an injury

568
00:31:12,669 --> 00:31:14,469
Speaker 1: that could have derailed the rest of the.

569
00:31:14,509 --> 00:31:20,589
Speaker 5: PLAYOFFS a nervous trialve with their feet back and cry

570

Speaker 5: The Golden state.

577
00:31:37,189 --> 00:31:42,189
Speaker 1: Five what was most troubling About durant's injury was that

578
00:31:42,269 --> 00:31:45,549
Speaker 1: he looked back after experiencing, pain as if checking to

579
00:31:45,669 --> 00:31:49,549

Speaker 18: all these guys really late in their careers In game

596
00:32:33,949 --> 00:32:36,709

Speaker 18: they've ever. Had it was just this like fight back

600
00:32:44,669 --> 00:32:46,709
Speaker 18: against the idea that now That kevin was, out they

601
00:32:46,709 --> 00:32:47,349
Speaker 18: weren't gonna do.

602
00:32:47,429 --> 00:32:54,389
Speaker 3: It curry thirty three points in the second, Half that'll do.

603
00:32:54,469 --> 00:32:57,069

604
00:32:57,149 --> 00:32:59,509
Speaker 7: Consecutive Western Calference finals.

Speaker 3: For the second straight.

606
00:33:00,549 --> 00:33:04,269
Speaker 7: Year they eliminate The rockets here In, houston as they

Speaker 7: take the series in six, games and they Win game

608
00:33:06,949 --> 00:33:07,909
Speaker 7: six Without Kevin.

609
00:33:07,989 --> 00:33:11,429
Speaker 1: Durant it was a feel good, moment but only for

610
00:33:11,549 --> 00:33:16,269
Speaker 1: those actually. Involved For, durant who was sitting out and

611
00:33:16,389 --> 00:33:20,549
Speaker 1: watching the Old warriors dynamic. Thrive it somehow became a

612
00:33:20,669 --> 00:33:24,509
Speaker 1: source of. Frustration as The warriors were sweeping The trailblazers

613
00:33:24,549 --> 00:33:27,989
Speaker 1: in The conference finals without, Him durant was hearing how

614
00:33:28,029 --> 00:33:31,109
Speaker 1: The warriors don't truly need him and that there are

615
00:33:31,189 --> 00:33:37,149
Speaker 1: two different versions of The warriors With katie and without Here, SLATER.

616
00:33:37,309 --> 00:33:39,389
Speaker 18: I Remember kevin did a press conference at the, TIME

617
00:33:39,429 --> 00:33:41,069
Speaker 18: i think in the middle of The blazer series where

618
00:33:41,109 --> 00:33:42,909
Speaker 18: he was really, upset why does it always have to

619
00:33:42,949 --> 00:33:45,589
Speaker 18: be The warriors AND? Kd The warriors and Kt because

620
00:33:45,629 --> 00:33:48,349
Speaker 18: suddenly The warriors were playing really well WITHOUT, kd and

621
00:33:48,389 --> 00:33:50,189
Speaker 18: the conversation had you got to do they even need?

622
00:33:50,309 --> 00:33:54,109
Speaker 18: Him i'm, like you, Know and he was upset within,

623
00:33:54,229 --> 00:33:57,149
Speaker 18: that and then they go and Play. Toronto he's still

624
00:33:57,229 --> 00:33:59,629
Speaker 18: trying to come off the capstra and we're Asking steve every,

625
00:33:59,749 --> 00:34:02,149

628
00:34:05,029 --> 00:34:08,069
Speaker 1: Come back for their. Part Steve kerr and The warriors

629
00:34:08,229 --> 00:34:11,589
Speaker 1: weren't giving any Indications durant would return for THE Nba.

630
00:34:11,709 --> 00:34:15,788
Speaker 21: FINALS i think everyone needs to slow down a little

631
00:34:15,829 --> 00:34:19,149
Speaker 21: bit on The kevin. Stuff he hasn't even stepped on

632
00:34:19,229 --> 00:34:24,229
Speaker 21: the floor, Yet so you, know we've we've tried to

633
00:34:26,829 --> 00:34:31,989
Speaker 21: remain somewhat vague because the injury is really sort of

634
00:34:32,069 --> 00:34:34,589
Speaker 21: open ended in terms of how long he's going to

635
00:34:34,629 --> 00:34:38,388
Speaker 21: need to. Recover BUT i think in doing, so maybe

636
00:34:38,429 --> 00:34:40,229
Speaker 21: people have gotten the idea that he's going to come,

637
00:34:40,269 --> 00:34:43,229
Speaker 21: back and Maybe Willis reid or something.

638
00:34:45,309 --> 00:34:47,428
Speaker 11: He's he's he hasn't even stepped on the floor.

639
00:34:47,509 --> 00:34:52,709
Speaker 21: Yet he still has, pain so he's there's some time

640
00:34:52,789 --> 00:34:54,429
Speaker 21: ahead of him on the rehab.

Speaker 5: Gets off The leonard defended By simmons is The.

653
00:35:57,309 --> 00:35:57,789
Speaker 22: Zones.

654
00:35:59,189 --> 00:36:05,109
Speaker 1: Two toronto built a largely trin group Around, leonard which

655
00:36:05,149 --> 00:36:09,429
Speaker 1: included Former Spur Danny, green who'd already had multiple playoff

656
00:36:09,469 --> 00:36:12,629
Speaker 1: battles with The. Warriors he Knew durant's absence would be,

657
00:36:12,709 --> 00:36:16,989
Speaker 1: big but not large enough to Overlook Golden. State the

658
00:36:17,029 --> 00:36:21,109
Speaker 1: Way green described, it there actually were two versions of

659
00:36:21,189 --> 00:36:23,189
Speaker 1: The warriors with and Without.

660
00:36:23,309 --> 00:36:27,629
Speaker 22: Durant we could not take them. Lightly to, Me katie was,

661
00:36:28,109 --> 00:36:30,429
Speaker 22: great and he's a good piece for. THEM i, thought

662
00:36:31,029 --> 00:36:32,909
Speaker 22: and this is, CRAZY i think as a young kid back,

663
00:36:32,949 --> 00:36:36,629
Speaker 22: then was, LIKE i think the ball they move a little,

664
00:36:36,669 --> 00:36:38,308
Speaker 22: less and the ball moves a little less When katie

665
00:36:38,349 --> 00:36:39,589
Speaker 22: is on the, Floor SO i thought it might be

666
00:36:39,909 --> 00:36:42,589
Speaker 22: even though he's hard to guard, INDIVIDUALLY i thought as a,

667
00:36:42,629 --> 00:36:46,389
Speaker 22: group it would be easier for us to guard them without.

668
00:36:46,509 --> 00:36:48,748
Speaker 22: Him they have so much more ball, movements so much more,

669
00:36:48,789 --> 00:36:51,149
Speaker 22: movement AND i was, like that's going to be more

670
00:36:51,149 --> 00:36:53,469
Speaker 22: of a bitch to guard than With katie's on the.

671
00:36:53,509 --> 00:36:55,949
Speaker 22: Floor even though they were still very, good they still

672
00:36:55,989 --> 00:36:57,229
Speaker 22: moved very well with, Him.

673
00:36:58,709 --> 00:37:00,109
Speaker 1: SO i was, like, yeah we can't let up The

674
00:37:00,189 --> 00:37:04,309
Speaker 1: warriors were also getting back another useful, Piece Marcus. Cousins

675
00:37:05,349 --> 00:37:08,589
Speaker 1: he and The warriors' medical staff worked some minor miracles

676
00:37:08,669 --> 00:37:10,549
Speaker 1: to get him back on the floor after the Quadter

677
00:37:11,789 --> 00:37:15,549
Speaker 1: cousins wasn't his usual, self but he wanted to contribute

678
00:37:15,669 --> 00:37:17,149
Speaker 1: in any way possible for.

679
00:37:17,349 --> 00:37:20,949
Speaker 10: ME i was hungry to, play meaning for. BASKETBALL i

680

683
00:37:30,749 --> 00:37:33,309
Speaker 10: and you, know LIKE i, said my first two, STOPS

684
00:37:33,349 --> 00:37:36,789
Speaker 10: i wasn't able to be a part of that or

685
00:37:36,869 --> 00:37:40,029
Speaker 10: had those opportunities to compete at that. Level so WHEN

686
00:37:40,069 --> 00:37:44,269
Speaker 10: i finally got that, OPPORTUNITY i wanted. It you, KNOW

687
00:37:44,309 --> 00:37:45,748

Speaker 10: i could live whatever results were the, results you, know

689

Speaker 10: BECAUSE i KNOW i was leaving EVERYTHING i had on the.

690
00:37:51,709 --> 00:37:56,989
Speaker 1: Floor through four, games, though it was evident the Shorthanded

691
00:37:57,029 --> 00:38:01,109
Speaker 1: warriors needed. Assistance Even Klay thompson Missed game three with

692
00:38:01,189 --> 00:38:04,269
Speaker 1: a hamstring, injury and despite being at home and getting

693
00:38:04,349 --> 00:38:07,909
Speaker 1: forty seven From, steph The warriors Dropped game three and

694
00:38:08,029 --> 00:38:09,229
Speaker 1: went on to Lose game four as.

695
00:38:09,269 --> 00:38:12,709
Speaker 7: Well ye SEE i, come throws it up and in The,

696
00:38:12,869 --> 00:38:16,909
Speaker 7: raptors putting on finishing touches on the biggest win in franchise.

697
00:38:17,029 --> 00:38:21,149
Speaker 3: HISTORY a lot of the fans channing. Again they are

698
00:38:21,549 --> 00:38:24,469
Speaker 3: well aware this could be the last game at Our Golden.

699
00:38:24,509 --> 00:38:28,309
Speaker 1: State was one loss from, elimination and all eyes shifted To.

700
00:38:28,429 --> 00:38:31,308
Speaker 1: Durant there had been rumors he could return to play

701
00:38:31,349 --> 00:38:35,149
Speaker 1: In game, five but no one was. Sure durant did.

702
00:38:35,269 --> 00:38:40,669
Speaker 1: Return perhaps under the pressure of the, Moment durant attempted

703
00:38:40,709 --> 00:38:43,949
Speaker 1: to return too soon after his cap, strip but it

704
00:38:44,069 --> 00:38:47,629
Speaker 1: didn't appear. So in that first, Quarter durant would score

705
00:38:47,749 --> 00:38:50,908
Speaker 1: eleven first quarter points as The warriors took a six point,

706
00:38:51,029 --> 00:38:55,029
Speaker 1: lead and, suddenly for at least a, moment The warriors were.

707
00:38:55,109 --> 00:38:59,629
Speaker 1: BACK a three p was still a. Possibility carries To.

708
00:38:59,709 --> 00:39:02,789
Speaker 3: Durant there's his first shot and it looks pretty.

709
00:39:02,509 --> 00:39:02,788
Speaker 23: Good, There.

710
00:39:03,069 --> 00:39:08,428
Speaker 1: Ronalds but just a few minutes into the second, Quarter

711
00:39:09,269 --> 00:39:12,989
Speaker 1: durant was isolating Against Serge ibaka when he suddenly pulled

712
00:39:13,069 --> 00:39:15,949
Speaker 1: up and started hopping on his left leg before going

713
00:39:16,029 --> 00:39:17,509
Speaker 1: to the floor and holding his right.

714
00:39:17,589 --> 00:39:21,709
Speaker 3: Leg he's not gonna try to stay With, durant not

715
00:39:21,829 --> 00:39:24,549
Speaker 3: to the way And durant. Slipping duranta goes down holding his.

716
00:39:24,709 --> 00:39:25,789
Speaker 3: Legs evaca goes.

717
00:39:25,749 --> 00:39:28,829
Speaker 7: Up had a style down beyond the rand And durant

718
00:39:28,949 --> 00:39:30,309
Speaker 7: grabbing that right leg.

719
00:39:33,989 --> 00:39:36,389
Speaker 3: It's the right calf put him.

720
00:39:36,229 --> 00:39:36,549
Speaker 11: Out.

721
00:39:39,509 --> 00:39:41,229
Speaker 3: And these teammates going over to check on.

722
00:39:41,349 --> 00:39:49,389
Speaker 1: Him at that, moment we were all. Orthopedists everyone knew

723
00:39:49,429 --> 00:39:52,189
Speaker 1: it was an achilles's. Tear even the look On durant's

724
00:39:52,229 --> 00:39:56,709
Speaker 1: face had an immediate look of despair and almost, acceptance

725
00:39:57,269 --> 00:39:59,788
Speaker 1: as if he was going through immediate stages of. Grief

726
00:40:00,629 --> 00:40:03,748
Speaker 1: durant had to know this was a risk and if

727
00:40:03,749 --> 00:40:06,828
Speaker 1: his achilles were, tear then a long year of rehab would.

728
00:40:06,829 --> 00:40:10,069
Speaker 1: Await but this was the chance to be the ultimate,

729
00:40:10,149 --> 00:40:17,109
Speaker 1: hero return from significant, injury win three, games go down

730
00:40:17,149 --> 00:40:19,869
Speaker 1: in history as the savior in a three peet and

731
00:40:20,109 --> 00:40:24,828
Speaker 1: maybe finally taking your comfortable place in The Golden State

732
00:40:24,909 --> 00:40:32,389
Speaker 1: warriors family. Forever, instead this felt like more of an,

733
00:40:32,509 --> 00:40:39,629
Speaker 1: ending immediate and. Tragic Mike breen called the game and

734
00:40:39,789 --> 00:40:40,509
Speaker 1: Felt durant's.

735
00:40:40,509 --> 00:40:44,029
Speaker 24: Anguish my feeling, was you, know he's not going to

736
00:40:44,109 --> 00:40:46,509
Speaker 24: come back unless he's ready to come, Back AND i

737
00:40:46,629 --> 00:40:48,189
Speaker 24: think that a lot of people felt the same.

738
00:40:48,269 --> 00:40:51,549
Speaker 20: Way and everybody felt they got a chance to win this.

739
00:40:51,709 --> 00:40:54,389
Speaker 20: Thing and you, know hindsight is. Easy i'm saying you

740
00:40:54,469 --> 00:40:57,029
Speaker 20: probably shouldn't, have but it shows you where his head

741
00:40:57,189 --> 00:40:59,149
Speaker 20: was at and the kind of competitive that he was

742
00:40:59,629 --> 00:41:01,389
Speaker 20: and wanted to get another championship for that.

743
00:41:01,509 --> 00:41:05,109
Speaker 24: Team but from WHAT i, remember everybody's talking, about they're, Thought,

744
00:41:05,309 --> 00:41:06,429
Speaker 24: okay they're going to come.

745
00:41:06,469 --> 00:41:08,509
Speaker 20: Back he's going to lead, them and there's a really

746
00:41:08,549 --> 00:41:09,309
Speaker 20: good chance they're.

747
00:41:09,109 --> 00:41:09,429
Speaker 11: Going to win.

748
00:41:09,469 --> 00:41:12,189
Speaker 20: AGAIN i don't really remember a lot of people questioning.

749
00:41:12,229 --> 00:41:13,229
Speaker 20: It there's always one or.

750
00:41:13,269 --> 00:41:15,509
Speaker 24: TWO i think they probably, said, alway shouldn't come, Back

751
00:41:15,789 --> 00:41:18,388
Speaker 24: BUT i think the majority people, felt all, right he's,

752
00:41:18,469 --> 00:41:20,429
Speaker 24: ready he's ready to come back and help them. Win

753
00:41:21,309 --> 00:41:24,269
Speaker 24: it just seemed to signal the, end at least for

754
00:41:24,349 --> 00:41:27,269
Speaker 24: that particular that group in terms of their dynasty and

755
00:41:27,549 --> 00:41:32,349
Speaker 24: with him, again because you watch him in all his,

756
00:41:32,469 --> 00:41:37,629
Speaker 24: greatness in all the, joy and you can almost feel.

757
00:41:37,429 --> 00:41:38,229
Speaker 3: The pain that he was.

758
00:41:38,309 --> 00:41:41,069
Speaker 24: In the emotional Pain i'm talking, about not the physical,

759
00:41:41,149 --> 00:41:44,589
Speaker 24: pain the emotional pain knowing that he can't help them

760
00:41:44,669 --> 00:41:47,829
Speaker 24: right now because he's incapable of doing. It that's always

761
00:41:47,869 --> 00:41:50,429
Speaker 24: the hardest thing with competitors like, that with great, players

762
00:41:50,829 --> 00:41:52,709
Speaker 24: when you see them go, down whether you root for

763
00:41:52,789 --> 00:41:57,989
Speaker 24: that team or, not you have such unbelievable respect for

764
00:41:58,349 --> 00:42:00,549
Speaker 24: how hard they play and how much it means to

765
00:42:00,669 --> 00:42:03,709
Speaker 24: them that you can become emotional when you see a

766
00:42:03,749 --> 00:42:07,069
Speaker 24: great player go down knowing that he can't he's incapable

767
00:42:07,149 --> 00:42:08,948
Speaker 24: right now helping his. Team and that's WHY i felt

768
00:42:08,989 --> 00:42:11,189
Speaker 24: that it was just hard to, watch because what a

769
00:42:11,229 --> 00:42:14,348
Speaker 24: great player he, is what a great joy he brought

770
00:42:14,389 --> 00:42:16,229
Speaker 24: to the, sport and the type of player he.

771
00:42:16,469 --> 00:42:19,949
Speaker 1: Was with the injury happening in the first, half that

772
00:42:20,149 --> 00:42:23,268
Speaker 1: left plenty of time For internet critics to question Whether

773
00:42:23,349 --> 00:42:26,389
Speaker 1: durant should have been playing at. All all of it

774
00:42:26,549 --> 00:42:30,109
Speaker 1: was enough to make general Manager Bob myers especially emotional

775
00:42:30,429 --> 00:42:32,869

844
00:46:49,229 --> 00:46:51,549
Speaker 22: Somehow the ball would always roll or bounce to. Him

845
00:46:51,629 --> 00:46:52,509
Speaker 22: on a loose ball wide.

846
00:46:52,549 --> 00:46:54,109

Speaker 22: Scramble and hit the ball dobbin and next You oly

848
00:46:56,149 --> 00:46:58,788

Speaker 22: Open tee and hisself from three and His game six

850
00:47:01,709 --> 00:47:03,349

851
00:47:03,469 --> 00:47:06,109

Speaker 18: the Whole dynasty five year runs that they had just,

935
00:51:27,509 --> 00:51:28,709

937
00:51:31,389 --> 00:51:33,589
Speaker 18: Over and even if somehow we wanted to pull it,

938
00:51:33,629 --> 00:51:36,309
Speaker 18: together two of our three four best players are like

939
00:51:36,789 --> 00:51:40,748

Speaker 1: Over The warriors would take a few steps. Back One

942
00:51:49,589 --> 00:51:54,269
Speaker 1: warrior in particular would take several steps. Away If Golden

943
00:51:54,349 --> 00:51:56,828
Speaker 1: state was going to turn a five year run into

944
00:51:56,909 --> 00:52:00,268
Speaker 1: a true, dynasty it would have to recover from one

945
00:52:00,309 --> 00:52:03,869
Speaker 1: of the most tragic scenes in sports, history and with

946
00:52:04,029 --> 00:52:07,109
Speaker 1: nowhere near the same embarrassment of riches as they were

947
00:52:07,229 --> 00:52:10,788
Speaker 1: used to on the next and final episode of Dub.

948

950
00:52:18,669 --> 00:52:22,629

952
00:52:25,269 --> 00:52:25,589
Speaker 17: in our.

953
00:52:25,709 --> 00:52:29,469
Speaker 16: Generation he is certainly the greatest point, guard greatest, shooter

954
00:52:29,669 --> 00:52:32,669
Speaker 16: BUT i think there's no doubt he's a top ten.

955
00:52:32,709 --> 00:52:36,989
Speaker 10: Player i've literally watched him make one hundred random just

956

Speaker 10: all of, it not even looking at the, basket just

957

Speaker 10: magic touch in his fingertips or something.
