LAS VEGAS — Last season, both Nets coach Kenny Atkinson and general manager Sean Marks said their players were their best recruiters.
Never was that proven more true than Sunday, when they helped lure Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and DeAndre Jordan to Brooklyn.
The trio had been talking throughout the season about playing together on the Knicks. But The Post reported that Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie had been playing the long game in recruiting Irving.
Apparently that long game stretches back to last year. The New York Times pointed to a semester-long seminar at Harvard Business School called “Crossover Into Business” that both players attended last fall.
