NBA news: Warriors’ Kevin Durant and Steph Curry filmed practicing ‘UNGUARDABLE’ play
GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS superstars Kevin Durant and Steph Curry were filmed hard at work preparing to take on the Houston Rockets just days out from their Western Conference finals series – and fans have labelled their pick-and-roll play “unguardable”.

A clip from a recent Warriors practise shows 6ft 9ins forward Durant working on the movement alongside two-time MVP Curry.
On some sets, Durant rolls to the post and throws up an inch-perfect fadeaway whereas other times he demonstrates his ability to pop out from range and unleash a three.
Curry, predictably, makes a beeline for the corner – a spot the 30-year-old rarely misses from.

The clip has been seen by thousands since it was posted on social media site Reddit this afternoon, causing quite a stir among watching fans.
“I am surprised the Warriors allowed this particular practice drill to be filmed,” read one comment.
“They have been notoriously [strict] about keeping the Steph-KD pick-and-roll under wraps unless absolutely required, even during the games.
“Maybe they think since they unleashed it in Game 5 last year, there is already a bunch of footage out there.”

Another said: “This combo is unstoppable. Take the second and third best players in the league to run a PnR. This is like a video game.”
“This pick and roll is unguardable,” a third added.
