Warriors owner: Kevin Durant was the 'sweetness' in recipe for success
OAKLAND, Calif. — Peter Guber, co-owner of the Golden State Warriors, talked about cookies when asked about the process of adding Kevin Durant into the mix before a season that ended with another NBA title for the Warriors.
“My grandmother made great chocolate chip cookies,’’ Guber told Paste BN Sports Monday night. “A couple of years later my grandmother added some walnuts, and they were really great. And then my father said he liked coconut, so he put some coconut in them. And then somebody said, ‘Put raisins in, it’ll be better,’ and it was mush.’’
So is Kevin Durant the walnuts?
“No,’’ Guber said. “Kevin Durant is sweetness.”
Added Guber: “He’s the perfect alchemy for success. He’s a great partner, a great leader, a great contributor, a great teammate and he’s humble. He doesn’t suffer the pains of hubris.”
