Kevin Durant once called fellow Texas Longhorn Royal Ivey his “best teammate” in the NBA. And Ivey identified as a Nets fan growing up.
Not to mention he was born in Harlem, grew up in Queens and played some high school ball in New Jersey. Doesn’t that make him a likely candidate for a job in Brooklyn?
Ivey, who played 10 years in the NBA including two with Durant in OKC as well as a season in China. He is currently an assistant coach with the Knicks specializing in player development.
