Kevin Durant

Did Guy Fieri Really Help Recruit Kevin Durant to Warriors?

In an interview with First We Feast, Guy Fieri divulged that he might have had something to do with bringing Kevin Durant to the Warriors.

When asked whether he preferred Steph Curry over KD, this is what the Bay Area native had to say:

First We Feast: Steph Curry or Kevin Durant?

Fieri : “Unfair! [Long pause.] I can say it without being guilty because he's now a Warrior: KD. It's not an easy decision, and should have just as well not said anything. Steph is phenomenal. KD is phenomenal. They both have their uniqueness about them. Maybe I'm in the KD moment now because he's coming to the team. I never...well, I shouldn't say I never thought it would happen. I remember telling his agent during the Playoffs, "I know he's coming up, you've gotta get him to Golden State."

First We Feast: Wait a second—you predicted it would happen?

Fieri: “You can ask his agent, I said it to him during the Playoffs. I even have the text. I said, "It's coming up, I want him, you gotta bring him." And he was laughing—yeah, yeah, yeah—and he blew me off. [Then later on] I was away from my cell phone, out on the boat, and I was able to get a signal. In came a note from my buddy: "KD GS," and I went arghhhhhh! I went and woke up the kids.”

We leave the rest up to you.
