The Golden State Warriors are among the greatest dynasties in NBA history, as they have won four titles and been to the NBA Finals six times in the previous nine seasons.

On Tuesday, President of Basketball Operations Bob Myers officially announced that he would step down from his role once his contract expires in June.

During his media session, Myers revealed that 13-time NBA All-Star Kevin Durant called him (video via Anthony Slater of The Athletic).   

Myers: "Durant called me today. He's in Monaco. What he did for us, showing up here, knowing what he would hear about when he made that decision. For him to have that courage, remember Joe and I were on the phone with him right before he decided, and you could tell he knew what might be coming down his road if he came to us and for him to do it and to completely deliver on everything that you would want; two Finals MVPs, three Finals appearances, two championships. What a talent. If you like basketball, watching him and Steph and these guys play, I'd do that for free."
