Kevin Durant has seen several ups and downs during his NBA career. Earlier, he was one of the most beloved players in the league, but during his stint with the Warriors, his role was reversed. However, with him joining the Nets, he has a chance to improve his legacy.

If Durant can win a ring or two with the Nets, it should be enough to erase past hate. Moreover, KD has a terrific teammate in Kyrie Irving to aid him in achieving that goal, and now the team has added former two-time MVP Steve Nash to coach them.

Nash recently praised KD at the Nets’ town hall event back on Tuesday.

“We have a strong relationship and I think it actually started when I was finishing my career. Ironically, Adam Harrington, one of our assistant coaches with the Nets, was at the time Kevin’s personal coach.

“… He’s just a human being that I have a lot of love for and a lot of belief in, in the type of person he is and character he is. As far as a basketball player, he’s historically unique and impactful. He’s one of the all-time greats already, and he’s still got a chapter to write here.”

Can Kevin Durant end the Brooklyn Nets’ misery?

The Nets have been stuck in mediocrity for quite some time now. They have never won an NBA championship in the history of the league. But with KD and Irving joining forces, the drought may soon end.

Also, Steve Nash has the potential to become one of the better coaches in the league. During his playing days, he was the perfect point guard and those leadership skills would definitely carry over to his coaching tenure.
