When Kevin Durant teamed up with Stephen Curry in the Golden State Warriors, the duo disrupted the NBA. Recently, Eddie Gonzalez, KD’s former ETCs podcast co-host, urged the superstars to repeat the past by reuniting. However, this time, he suggested Curry leave the Bay Area to join Durant’s Phoenix Suns.

After a recent selfie of KD and Curry started making rounds on X (formerly Twitter), a fan referenced it to reflect on their time together. This caught Gonzalez’s attention, prompting him to share the post while expressing his thoughts. While giving a suggestion, he wrote,
“Come home Steph. (Home is the Phoenix Suns starting point guard position)”.

This selfie surfaced during Team USA’s latest pre-presser, which Curry and Durant attended together. The former snapped the picture while the latter posed from a distance. The photo, unsurprisingly, broke the internet, flooding NBA fans with nostalgic memories. Gonzalez was one such fan, eager to relive those iconic moments on the NBA court.
Much to his dismay, there is no indication of them reuniting again. On top of this, while fans were busy hoping for a repeat of the past, Durant used the photo to poke fun at himself, asking, “Quick question. Is this miserable or happy kd?”.

Kevin Durant always had great respect for Stephen Curry
The rise of the Warriors under Curry’s leadership played a major part in motivating KD to move to the Bay Area. At the same time, the Splash Brother earned the respect of Durant through his greatness as a teammate. As a result, the Slim Reaper had always appreciated the 4x champion’s endeavors and contributions in his career.
Earlier this year, Durant publicly praised Curry after a tight game between their teams. After Curry led the Warriors to a 113-112 victory over the Suns with a 30-point performance, KD told AZ Central’s Duane Rankin,
“[He is] an 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.”
