Kevin Durant announced Monday that he'll be playing with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green in Golden State next year on what is, on paper, one of the scariest teams of all time. After meeting with a number of teams over the weekend, Durant chose to leave Oklahoma City and join a team that won a record 73 games in the regular season and made a repeat trip to the NBA Finals, only to fall to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Thunder were considered by many to be the favorite to land Durant, but his decision sent shockwaves around the NBA.

The game has really changed. #happy4thofjuly
