Ethan Sherwood Strauss, the author of a newly presented book ‘The Victory Machine: The Making and Unmaking of the Warriors Dynasty,’ revealed what Kevin Durant said about the media’s treatment of him in comparison to Steph Curry while both played for the Warriors, per CBS Sports:

“KD accused me of trying to ‘rile up Steph’s fans’. He expressed that this was a constant theme in the Bay. All of us local guys just wanted to kiss Steph’s a** at his expense. This was KD’s consistent lament,” the author wrote in his book.

“He would frequently squabble in direct-message conversations with the Warriors fans of Twitter, frequently accusing them of favoring Steph at his expense. In one such exchange that foreshadowed things to come, he was asked by the WarriorsWorld account whether two-time MVP Steph Curry or Kyrie Irving was the better player. ‘I gotta really sit down and analyze it,’ Durant demurred,” Strauss remembered.
