Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant took to Twitter to defend his teammate and good friend, Kyrie Irving.
It started when SiriusXM NBA host Justin Termine questioned not just his hierarchical standing in the league, but why fans gravitate towards him.
For those that are voting for Kyrie, help me understand what makes him so popular.. Why is he so far ahead of guys like Curry (better player/teammate/leader) and guys like Lillard/Kemba (better teammates/leaders/similarly talented)??? There has to be some reason, so explain. pic.twitter.com/m72eUfGHxu

That didn’t sit well with Kevin.
