Kevin Durant sends a message to Rihanna following the Warriors' big win
OAKLAND, CA - JUNE 12: NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant #35 of the Golden State Warriors speaks to the media after winning the NBA Championship in Game Five of the 2017 NBA Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers on June 12, 2017 at ORACLE Arena in Oakland, California.

The highlight of this year's NBA Finals wasn't Steph Curry's free throws or Lebron James' dunks -- it was Rihanna, who is arguably the highlight of every event she attends.

The pop singer has famously been a stan for James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, and she stole the show when she arrived during Game 1 yelling "brick" at Kevin Durant's free throw attempts and dabbing on fans of the Golden State Warriors.

She may or may not have been at the receiving end of a glare from Durant during that game, but following his big win with the Warriors Monday night, he finally had a message for her.

"I ain't got nothing left to say," he said, flashing his trophy. "Love you, girl, but I got to do it," Durant told USA Today Sports. "Gots to do it! You understand me?"

He then said her presence was more than a highlight at the match.

Rihanna, on the other hand, took the Cavs loss hard and shared her feelings by reposting a video in which her face, James, and Durant are superimposed on Simba, Mufasa, and Scar, respectively.

"Whispers congrats to KD, cause...ROC Nation," she commented, referencing Durant's sports management deal with Jay-Z's company, after shouting out "King James" with a few hashtags.
