NBA stars Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, who shared two championships with the Golden State Warriors in 2016 and 2017, got back together on Sunday in New York City.
Curry, 34, enjoyed hooking up with his old teammate Durant, 34, who co-hosted the fun evening with Boardroom partner Rich Kleiman.
Fabolous, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, and CBS’s Gayle King were among the other prominent guests. Gayle King caught up with Curry within the party.
At the celebrity-filled dinner at The Nines, guests were served wine from Curry’s own collection along with Cincoro tequila-based cocktails.
The NBA champions ate crudités, burgers, chocolate mousse, shrimp cocktail, and twice-baked potatoes with caviar for supper.
Justin Tuck and Victor Cruz, two former NFL players, also made an appearance. Later in the evening, a witness who saw the retired sportsmen mixing said that Tuck, 39, and former Yankees star CC Sabathia were “deep in conversation about business.”In a one-man ceremony, Stephen Curry receives his degree from Davidson College while the school retires his jersey.
Together, Curry and Durant won two NBA championships with the Golden State Warriors before Durant agreed to a deal with the Brooklyn Nets.
Considering Curry’s September Rolling Stone interview, NBA fans have been wondering if Durant will rejoin Golden State.
“If you said, ‘Oh, KD’s coming back, and we’re going to play with him,'” Curry stated to the magazine.I would say, “Hell, yeah.”The mother of Kevin Durant talks about his injury during Game 5 of the NBA Finals: “He said not to cry.”
Seth Curry, the brother of the Golden State Warriors star and current colleague of Durant on the Brooklyn Nets, also made an appearance to celebrate the approaching holidays.
The 46-year-old Kleiman and Durant raised a glass to “connectivity and bringing people together” as they got ready for a busy 2023 filled with boardroom and other endeavors.
The pair most recently declared their stake in the Brooklyn Aces, an expansion Major League Pickleball team. Athletes who have made their mark in the league include LeBron James and Tom Brady, along with Durant and Kleiman.
In 2023, Durant’s squad is scheduled to start playing in the MLP season. Kleiman, an “avid pickleball player and fan,” stated in a news release that “Major League Pickleball is a league we are incredibly excited about.”
In addition to Durant’s 35V, Kleiman stated that they are “committed to investing in the future of sports and emerging opportunities.” “I can’t wait to build this team from the ground up,” said the creative partners.
Steve Kuhn, the CEO and founder of Major League Pickleball, expressed his excitement about the NBA player making a commitment to the league. “For Major League Pickleball, Kevin Durant, Rich Kleiman, and 35V are going to be game-changing partners. They provide unparalleled experience and a strong passion for the game, which helps us develop.”
Although Durant is one of the most dominant players in the NBA and is a strong candidate for MVP this season, the Nets star has ventured into a few other sports and entertainment endeavors. He co-produced Two Distant Strangers, a short film on police violence, with Utah Jazz star Mike Conley in 2020. The video won Best Live Action Short Film at the 93rd Academy Awards.
The Golden State Warriors and Durant’s Brooklyn Nets square off on Wednesday, but because of a recent injury, the 2022 Finals MVP will not be playing.
