We may never know fully why Kevin Durant bolted the Warriors for the Brooklyn Nets.
Or, it might be as simple as cueing up the video.
Kendrick Perkins, a one-time teammate of Durant’s at Oklahoma City, talking to The Undefeated, said an ill-considered crack that happened just minutes before the Warriors’ victory parade in June 2018 hit Durant the wrong way. It happened in a televised exchange between Warriors’ president of basketball operations Bob Myers, head coach Steve Kerr, team broadcaster Bob Fitzgerald and Warriors players who were seated in a staging area prior to the parade.
