Losing the 2016 NBA Finals might have given the Golden State Warriors a big win. Kevin Durant said Monday night that the Warriors’ collapse against LeBron James’ Cleveland Cavaliers helped his free-agency decision.

Durant continued, explaining how his thinking changed as the Finals progressed and the Warriors went from being up 3-1 to losing the title. “As they lost, it became more and more real every day,” Durant said. “You start to think about it even more. To see if I would fit. Then once I sat down with these guys, everything that I wanted to know about them, they kinda showed me. But we don’t have to talk about [what would have happened if the Warriors had won the title], because they didn’t get the job done, and they came after me. “I guess you could say I’m glad that they lost.”
