Remember the Brooklyn Nets super team that was supposed to win it all? Yes, the one that Sean Marks built around the ‘Big Three’ of Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving. Most people still wonder what went wrong with that core. Although all three stars have moved on in their careers, recently this question was reignited when Kevin Durant appeared on Steve Nash and LeBron James’ podcast, and what the new Rockets star revealed was surprising to say the least.

Durant, a member of that insanely stacked roster, provided a succinct assessment of the project. The 15-time All-Star talked about how everything around the team wasn’t up to the mark. However, despite that, the veteran forward claimed that there was one reason due to which the team did not achieve the heights it was supposed to. “We just didn’t get on the court enough. I think when you see James, Kyrie, and myself, it was amazing basketball for 17 games though,” Durant joked.

He then explained why he thought so: “In order for you to win a championship and be a great team, you just need more time on the floor.” There’s no doubt that the talent was in abundance in that Nets team; however, they were hard hit by injuries, according to Durant. He then proceeded to talk about how Steve Nash, who coached the Brooklyn team across three seasons, “didn’t get to coach as much as I wanted to.” KD and Nash’s insight on the matter was a huge revelation for the fans, who had been unaware of what was going on behind the scenes.

Although there are only a few, if any, super teams that imploded as badly as that Nets team, it seems like this was only KD’s side of what was going on behind the scenes at the time. That’s because his teammate and Mavericks star Kyrie Irving broke his silence on the matter. “lol I am gonna address this on my stream soon,” Irving tweeted. The veteran guard, who’s recovering from a terrible ACL injury, indicated that he’s going to present his side of the story. Whether it will be with what Durant spoke or against it, no one knows right now.

However, by the looks of it seems like Irving has his own perspective on why things didn’t work out for him or others at the Brooklyn Nets, which seems to be different from the Slim Reaper. More so, because Durant repeatedly spoke about the extra things going around him and Nash at the time. This could, of course, be linked with Irving’s refusal to get vaccinated, which led to his suspension. Nonetheless, whatever it may be that Kyrie Irving wants to address, it looks like KD’s too excited to hear.

Kevin Durant responds to Kyrie Irving’s latest tweet

It’s been over two years since Kyrie Irving arrived in Dallas. Since then, the veteran guard has seen the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. However, none of that has been able to help him escape his past. The recent statement from Kevin Durant, which we talked about just now, is a great example of how Kyrie has struggled to escape his past. However, that hasn’t stopped him from being vocal about it whenever he’s put on the spot.

Now, all eyes are on his stream, where he’ll address this topic. Usually, the Mavs star’s stream can be about a variety of topics, ranging all the way from games to just life in general. However, this time around, it will be around his time in Brooklyn, for which Kevin Durant seems to be too excited. “Lemme set this noti.” Kevin Durant tweeted, replying to Irving’s initial tweet. It seems like something is brewing between the two superstars, and it doesn’t smell good.

Even the fans are eagerly awaiting Kyrie Irving’s stream. With both Durant and Irving being the leaders of two of the contenders of the Western Conference, if Irving’s response to KD’s statement has any spice to it, there could be not only an added storyline in next season’s Houston-Dallas matchup, but also an all out social media war between the two given their amazing social media presences. However, we can only speculate right now as everyone looks forward to the Mavericks guard’s stream.
