Durant proud of what Nets were building, even though ‘dysfunction’ brought it quickly crashing down

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — Kevin Durant is proud of what he believed the Nets were building in Brooklyn before “dysfunction” brought it quickly crashing down. “Even though we went through a lot of dysfunction I guess you could call it, for lack of a better term,” Durant said, “but regardless of that, a lot of people in those stands still supported, still came out and cheered loud as hell for the game of basketball and for the Nets, so that’s what stood out the most.” He and Irving came together in the summer of 2019. But all three battled injuries and Irving was largely off the court in the 2021-22 season after refusing to get vaccinated against COVID-19, “I think that was the main thing, that we just didn’t get on the court together,” Durant said. But once we got on the court and once we actually played together, once you seen the culture that we were building, it was something that the fans could get behind I think,” Durant said. “It didn’t culminate into a championship, but people who had season tickets, who get into their car in the cold, come down and watch us play, still remember some moments, some regular-season games, a couple playoff games,” Durant said.
