Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are both rumored to be considering joining the Knicks. At times throughout the season, it’s felt like almost a fait accompli. The Warriors could win the championship, and Durant might still feel compelled to spread his wings and fly to New York. The Celtics, similarly, could somehow pull it together, win the championship, and Irving could still feel compelled to bounce out of Boston like a rocket leaving earth.
It’s just where we are in this day and age with social media, crushing loneliness, and an inability to pause and appreciate success.
