James said, “There was zero doubt that I knew he would come back full strength. He’s not a guy who carries a bunch of muscle and a bunch of weight on his body. Very slender and slim and so it’s like it wasn’t much pounding going on in that particular area that he had to worry about. He doesn’t look like someone that sits around and doesn’t take care of what he needs to take care of. So, it was never a question about KD coming back from any injury.”
New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets were the prime candidates to land the signature of Durant two seasons ago. Durant chose the Nets over the New York Knicks which led to their fans becoming toxic on social media.

This one fan talked about the failed signing of Kevin Durant by the New York Knicks.
That was an unconfirmed rumor…..also KD said he had no interest in going to the Knicks. Bron should focus on the own garbage team he assembled
