Kevin Durant's Viral Quote About Steph Curry After Suns-Warriors Game

Kevin Durant spoke about Steph Curry after Saturday's game.

On Saturday evening, the Phoenix Suns faced off against Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors at the Chase Center in San Francisco. 

Whenever Kevin Durant and the Warriors face off, the game gets a lot of attention because he spent three seasons with the franchise and helped them win two NBA Championships.  

The game did not disappoint, and Curry made the game-winning shot with less than one second left to give the Warriors a 113-112 victory.  

After the loss, Durant met with the media and shared high praise for his former teammate when he was asked about Curry's shot (h/t Duane Rankin of azcentral). 

Durant on Curry: "All-time, all-time great, the greatest ever at his position.. Top five ever. You give him a look like that for the game; he is licking his chops."

"You can put hands on people late in the game like that. It is what it is, 0.6 seconds. It's tough to get anything off."
