Durant: I hated that Warriors' 2022 title was 'all about me'

Kevin Durant admitted he wasn't thrilled to see the Golden State Warriors win their latest NBA championship for one reason in particular.

In an interview with Michael Lee of the Washington Post, Durant said he knew people would bring up his name once the Warriors won last season's title.

"I can't lie: Watching the Finals, I knew so many people would turn their focus on me once they won," he said. "I was like, I hate that they won, because y'all not going to make it about them; it's going to be all about me. I think it's just a childish way of looking at that experience. I feel like you can take it all in and appreciate what they did and not even talk about me. I was just sitting at home. But I get how it is."

Durant won back-to-back championships with the Warriors in 2017 and 2018 before joining the Brooklyn Nets. Although he's no longer a member of Golden State, he still has plenty of love for his former team.

"That's my family over there," he said. "I can be a Brooklyn Net and y'all can be the Golden State Warriors, and it'll still be love. ... When they succeed, I succeed, because I'm a part of that history forever."
