Durant graces Sports Illustrated cover in Warriors uniform

Share

Kevin Durant is responsible for the biggest news of the NBA offseason, and for that, he will be on the cover of Sports Illustrated this week.

The issue, featuring Durant in his new Warriors uniform, is a regional edition.

A quote from Durant accompanies the photo:

"You're either a villain or you're a superhero...I trusted my gut. I trusted my instinct."

It's the fourth time in 2016 that the Warriors have appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

In March, Draymond Green, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson posed for the cover.

Following the Warriors' record-breaking 73-win regular season, a photo of Curry driving against the Grizzlies was used on the cover.

In May, Green got the cover all to himself.

Durant sent waves around the NBA on the Fourth of July when he announced he would be leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder to join the Warriors. He signed his contract and was introduced by the team on Thursday, July 7 at the team's practice facility in Oakland.
