Of course, folks were wondering whether or not Drake would have any surprises up his sleeve regarding the Warriors, and he gave the folks a big one in the form of new star Kevin Durant.
Yes, during the performance on Tuesday night, the newest prize piece of the Warriors was introduced by and joined Drake on stage, much to the delight of the crowd in attendance.
It was a pretty cool moment, as Durant is still just settling into his new surroundings as a Golden State Warrior. After nine incredible years with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Durant decided this past July that it was time to move on in his career, and he came to the conclusion that he should join one of the deadliest teams in the history of the NBA — much to the chagrin of a lot of NBA fans out there who see him as taking the easy way out.
