With the Steph Curry show underway for Game 7 between the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings, Kevin Durant was turned in to watch his former teammate make history.
The nine-time All-Star went off in Game 7 of the first-round series against the Kings, scoring 50 points on 20-of-28 shooting from the floor and 7-of-18 from deep to go along with eight rebounds and six dimes on the way to ending Sacramento’s season.
Curry’s 50-point performance was good enough for the most points in any Game 7 in NBA history. Durant previously held the record from his 48-point effort during the Brooklyn Nets Game 7 against the Milwaukee Bucks in 2021.
Following Curry’s historic performance on Sunday, Durant took to Twitter with a reaction. The former Warrior turned Phoenix Suns forward praised Curry’s Game 7, calling him “legendary.”

Durant and The Suns are preparing for Game 2 against the No. 1 seed Denver Nuggets in the second round of the Western Conference postseason. The Suns are trailing in the series 0-1 after dropping Game 1 against the Nuggets, 125-107.
Durant wasn’t the only NBA player to respond to Curry’s performance on Twitter. Players like Trae Young, DeMar DeRozan, Victor Wembanyama and Damian Lillard all chimed in on Twitter with reactions to Curry’s Game 7 against the Kings.
With their 4-3 series win over the Kings, Curry and the Warriors will advance to play LeBron James and the Golden State Warriors in the second round of the postseason. Game 1 will tip off in San Francisco on Tuesday at 7 p.m. PT.
