It’s gotta be the shoes?

SHANGHAI, China — Count Stephen Curry among those not buying into the notion that a sneaker feud threatens to divide the Warriors.

While waiting for the team charter Thursday in Shenzhen, Curry posted a picture to Instagram of Kevin Durant lifting his left foot and pointing at his Nikes. Curry was laughing next to him.

The caption: “Why so serious?!? #sneakerwars.”

During a podcast with the Ringer in August, Durant said that “nobody wants to play in Under Armours.” The quote rippled through social media. Last month, Curry — Under Amour’s biggest spokesman — told the Charlotte Observer that he had a conversation with Durant about the NBA Finals MVP’s jab at Under Armour, and “this is nothing that is going to put a wrench in the locker room.”

But make no mistake: Sneaker deals are personal matters to NBA players. That Durant seriously considered signing with Under Armour in the summer of 2014 before ultimately inking a bigger deal with Nike has only added to the story line.

Then there’s Klay Thompson, who took his own route in 2014 when he signed with Chinese sportswear brand Anta to gain a foothold in China. Now, after two NBA titles and three All-Star appearances in three years, Thompson is fresh off signing a 10-year, $80 million extension with the company — and his popularity is clear.

During a promotional tour of China this summer, thousands of people donned his Anta gear and crammed into a mega-mall to watch him shoot a handful of jumpers.

GM survey: Not surprisingly, NBA general managers are picking the Warriors as heavy favorites to repeat as NBA champions. According to NBA.com’s annual GM survey, 93 percent of GMs who responded have Golden State winning another title this season. That’s reportedly the highest margin in the survey’s 16-year history.

The Warriors also led in a number of other categories, including most fun team to watch (90 percent), best homecourt advantage (76 percent), best pure shooter (Curry, 76 percent), best player at moving without the ball (Thompson, 61 percent), best bench player (Andre Iguodala, 41 percent) and best assistant coach (Ron Adams, 21 percent).
