Kerr's joy, mocked as it was near the end of KD's time, was essential to Durant's recruitment. A few Warriors officials believe that KD was drawn to the Warriors in part by All-Star Weekend 2015, when Kerr was coach of the West squad.
It was Kerr at his peak cheerful insouciance, months before a botched back surgery brought constant pain. He was cracking jokes and having fun with the absurd proceedings.
At one point, the Warriors coaches were drinking beer in their locker room when a curious Durant poked his head in.

"I know that the way we went about our business was pretty unique," Kerr said of the beers. "Very different from OKC and San Antonio, much looser. Players are given a lot more autonomy. I think that might have appealed to Kevin.
"I think after that first year, I think a lot of people watched us play around the league and they liked our style and they saw the joy that was being displayed by our players and our fans and they saw the talent. They saw the way our guys played and they wanted to be a part of it and I think that's what attracted Kevin."

By all accounts, KD's first season with the Warriors couldn't have gone much better. There definitely were some minor hiccups along the way.
But after sustaining a knee sprain in late February (which originally was believed to be a season-ending injury), Durant got back to full strength before the playoffs started and was incredible against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals.
