Kevin Durant’s trade request sent shockwaves around the sports world the likes of which have never been seen in the NBA’s 76-year existence.
In the aftermath of dropping one of the biggest Woj-bombs of all-time, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski appeared on Thursday night’s SportsCenter to offer more insight into the thought process behind the Nets superstar’s seismic decision. A disappointing three-year run next to Kyrie Irving paved the way for a drama-filled offseason centered around the two stars, and eventually led to Thursday’s stunning news.
After citing Irving’s “acrimonious” relationship with Brooklyn’s front office as a key factor, Wojnarowski noted another interesting influence that contributed to the future Hall of Famer’s decision.
