Kevin Durant is one of the most talented players ever to have played the game of basketball. The Brooklyn Nets forward is a three-level scorer who can easily score from anywhere. He has a deadly mid-range jumper and is also pro-efficient from the three-point line. He can also knock down his free throws with ease. For someone who is nearly as tall as 7ft, he has great handles and can easily blow past you to get to the basket.

It included measures like cleaning up media narratives, shining a light on KD’s philanthropy, restructuring the fashion sense, and getting a luxury dog. KD then, in a single tweet, dismissed his idea. What was more interesting was that former NBA player Brandon Jennings found this exchange hilarious and tweeted the same with laughing emojis.

In their second year, the Nets traded for James Harden in a blockbuster but due to injuries fell short in the second round.

But this trade didn’t work out as the Nets front office would have hoped. Harden then demanded a trade and was traded to the 76ers. This offseason, Kevin Durant also wants out of Brooklyn. Whether he gets his request fulfilled remains to be seen. But if a trade happens, it will surely result in changing the scenery of the NBA as a whole.
