After rocking the NBA past year with his decision to leave Oklahoma City as a free agent and sign with the Warriors, Durant's dream came true Monday when Golden State beat Cleveland 129-120 to win the best-of-seven NBA Finals four games to one.

"They have an incredible team". They had to be flawless even to win a game in these NBA Finals. "You just pick yourself back up and you keep pushing and you keep going".

The Golden State Warriors beat the Cleveland Cavaliers to regain the NBA Championship with a 4-1 series win.

It was an unprecedented third consecutive meeting between the clubs in the finals and both appear ready to continue their domination of conference rivals on the way to an annual showdown for the crown. "From my eyes, they're built to last a few years".

After the buzzer sounded and the Warriors clinched their title, Kerr began to tear up in what has been an up-and-down season for him. We'll see what happens.

Golden State beat Cleveland in the 2015 Finals only to lose to them previous year, squandering a 3-1 series lead. Those other "super teams" each had two of their stars come in via trade or free agency.

Panamagate probe: Sharif to be questioned by JIT today

". As we go into the talks and this whole process, which is obviously new for me, I will approach it to get the most out of it I can as an individual, as a player, and something that I've been working for for a very long time". How does he not compromise the squad needed to fight past rivals to reach the Finals? Letting Game 3 get away from us and then coming back to this gym, we knew it was going to be tough, but I thought our mindset was right. "Right after you lose Game 7", Green says, "shows you're serious".

KD added that she knows everything he went trough and that in fact, they together were in it all the time.

And the team's coaching staff is equally formidable. "You got to want to put your teammates in front of yourself sometimes".

Durant's 28.8-point playoff career scoring average ranks fourth all-time, trailing only Michael Jordan, Allen Iverson and Jerry West and ranking just ahead of James at 28.4.

He also knocked down two timely threes in the second half and had a handful dunks including a first-half rimrocker that sent Oracle Arena into a frenzy. It's such unselfish nature that has helped the Warriors flourish. "Still feel like that today", Curry said. "But we were able to keep our eyes open to someone who could make this whole thing complete".

"I had a letdown a year ago", Green said. And while his love and loyalty to Doc Rivers and the Clippers has never been an issue, there's little doubt that him signing with the Spurs gives him the best shot at this point in his career, to compete for an National Basketball Association title.
