Durant Praises Curry Despite Heartbreaking Loss to Warriors

Following a nail-biting defeat against the Golden State Warriors, Phoenix Suns’ star Kevin Durant displayed nothing but admiration for his former teammate, Stephen Curry, despite Curry’s game-winning heroics sealing the Suns’ fate.

In a post-game reflection Saturday night, Durant lauded Curry as the “all-time greatest ever at his position,” placing him among the top five players in basketball history. The sentiment came after Curry’s remarkable turnaround three-pointer secured a 113–112 victory for the Warriors, leaving Durant’s Suns reeling in defeat.

 “Top five in the world … I mean top-five ever.”

Despite the loss, Durant’s respect for Curry’s prowess was evident as he commended the Warriors point guard for his stellar performance. Curry’s 30-point contribution, coupled with nine rebounds and six assists, underscored his ongoing dominance in the league, reaffirming his status as an All-NBA caliber player.

At 35 years old, Curry continues to defy expectations, maintaining an impressive average of 28.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game. His consistent excellence on the court has not only earned Durant’s respect but has also solidified his legacy as a four-time champion and two-time MVP.

With the win, the Warriors improved to a 25–25 record, positioning themselves sixth in the competitive Western Conference standings. Meanwhile, the Suns, now at 31–22, find themselves in the tenth spot, reflecting on a missed opportunity against their formidable opponents.
