From the Bay all the way to OKC.
NBA Finals Game 5 on ABC - the Golden State Warriors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers to win the NBA championship - generated a 16.0 metered market rating, making it the highest-rated NBA Finals Game 5 since 1998, according to Nielsen.
"It's just a great group of guys, great community, great arena, great fans", Durant said.
Durant efficiently powered the Warriors to their second title in three years as they beat the Cavaliers 129-120 in Game 5. "Has anyone ever thought that Donald Trump was a great leader?"
Stephen Curry tucked a celebratory cigar into his right sock for safekeeping as he handled all of his post-championship obligations. "Our perspective, being blessed to play on this stage three years in a row, it's for these fans, for our organization, for these families". I'd be honored to welcome the team to the U.S. Capitol. "I've got nothing but love and respect for him and I can't wait to compete against him again next season".
Given James' move from Cleveland earlier in his career to join Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami to win his first two National Basketball Association titles before returning to the Cavs to join Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love for his third, he was asked if he's a fan of the "super team" concept.
A year ago, James led the Cavs' comeback from a 3-1 deficit to beat the Warriors for the title, but following Game 1, James said the Warriors are a different beast with Durant.

Sessions said he had no recollection of meeting with Kislyak when the two were at a VIP event with about two dozen other people. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., suggested that the attorney general was ducking critical questions in his testimony .
Kyrie Irving followed up his 40-point gem in Friday's Game 4 with 26 points, but he shot 9 for 22.
But more important to the Warriors was finishing the season among the top of the world, and they did, with an National Basketball Association championship. "I'm just so happy to be a part of it". As a grinning Curry held daughter Riley in his arms, Durant stood next to them with his left hand on the point guard's head.
It is a tradition in the United States that professional sports teams visit the White House as the Chicago Cubs did in January when they spent time with President Barack Obama after capturing their 2016 Major League Baseball title.
Throughout these years it seemed that Durant wants a championship ring not because of himself, but as a gift to his mother and all the sacrifices that she made in order to provide a future for her son.
Draymond Green stayed on the court in a game that featured three technicals on one play with 3:08 left before halftime.
"I think it's important, but it's also important for the players because it's really about them to make the decision whether they want to go or not". West, Thompson and J.R. Smith received technicals after a replay review.
Golden State became the first team to score at least 100 points in every game of the playoffs, and Curry was clearly delighted when he joined NBA TV for his postgame chat with a cigar. "She's seen how I come home after losses and how tough I take it ... it feels good to see it come full circle", he said.
