Steph Curry was told he and Golden State Warriors were "cheating" the NBA after title win

Steph Curry has spoken about the moment that his brother joked about his Golden State Warriors team had been 'cheating' after the acquisition of perennial all-star Kevin Durant.

In the 2016 playoffs, Durant's Oklahoma City Thunder team were defeated by the Warriors, who would go on to suffer NBA finals heartbreak, losing to LeBron James' Cleveland Cavaliers. That off-season, the Warriors shocked the world when they were able to acquire Durant as a free agent. Durant was believed to be either joining the Boston Celtics or San Antonio Spurs should he leave OKC, but decided to join forces with Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green to create a true super-team.

It was a move criticised by many, with analysts claiming the move killed any competition in the NBA, with arguably the league's best team acquiring one of the league's best players.
