For most of the 2018-19 NBA season, speculation hovered around Kevin Durant potentially joining the New York Knicks in the offseason, despite winning consecutive championships with the Golden State Warriors and making a third NBA Finals.
Durant opted for New York, but the other basketball team it contains: the Brooklyn Nets. He joined fellow often-rumored-to-be-a-Knick and friend, Kyrie Irving, on a multi-year contract.
On Friday, the former NBA MVP spoke publicly for the first time as a Net at the team’s Media Day, clarifying the events of the past few months.
