Steph Curry, Kevin Durant deliberately silent on advice for Celtics title repeat – NBC Sports Bay Area & California

Steph Curry and Kevin Durant know a thing or two about winning back-to-back NBA championships.

And they have no plans to share their secrets with their teammates on Team USA, who play for the reigning champion Boston Celtics.

Curry and Durant spoke to reporters on Wednesday ahead of the start of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. They were asked if they are teammates with Celtics stars Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Derrick White and whether the Boston trio ever discusses the team’s recent title.

“Not at all,” Durant said matter-of-factly.

“It would be wild if (Tatum) every time he came in, he was like, ‘The champ is here!’ announcing himself,” Curry explained. “That would be wild behavior.”

“We have champions on the team, they’re just the most recent,” Durant added. “But you can see their chemistry pretty easily, those three are team players and they respect the game, so they don’t come to brag or anything. But you respect what they’ve done.”

Curry and Durant won the title together with the Warriors in 2017 and 2018 and have absolutely no intention of helping their current Celtics teammates achieve a similar feat in the 2024-25 season.

“I honestly wouldn’t give them any advice,” Durant said. “None.”

“Straight ahead,” Curry added.

“They have a great team, so I’m sure they’re already thinking about what it would be like to repeat. But that’s tough in our league, but we’ll see what happens,” Durant concluded.

Given that Curry’s Warriors and Durant’s Phoenix Suns still have championship aspirations for next season, that’s probably a wise decision.
