Kevin Durant had one special NBA Finals.
The Warriors star won his first championship, outplayed LeBron James to win (and deserve) Finals MVP and stared down Rihanna after making a 3-pointer.
Don’t lose sight of the importance of that last one.
Josh Peter of USA Today:Durant said the Rihanna dustup — Durant appeared to stare her down after he hit a late three-pointer in Game 1 — was a personal highlight during the Finals.
“Oh, my gosh, more than that,’’ he said.
Durant has a long-standing infatuation with Rihanna, a noted LeBron fan:
That girl @rihanna RT @AyeDerBaba94: @KDTrey5 So my question is... If you could marry any girl who would it be?? RT

Somebody get @Rihanna to wish me a happy birthday and I'll be good..ya understand

Hopefully the fact that she didn’t yell “brick!” doesn’t ruin the moment for him. They’ll always have the stare-down.
