Michael Scotto: Kevin Durant: “I didn’t know how it would feel moving, living, and playing basketball in NY. I was a little nervous to be honest, but once I got settled in and figured out my routine here, it was the most fun I’ve had in a long time playing ball. I really enjoyed myself, regardless of the chaos that was going around.”

Asked Kevin Durant if he had a favorite Nets memory at Barclays Center:
“Obviously that playoff game, Game 5, we beat the Bucks here. The first two games we beat the Bucks here. There’s a few regular season games. I think we beat Philly when everybody had Covid and it was just pic.x.com/puWyMVRgEi – 11:07 PM

Kevin Durant said Barclays Center is his favorite NBA arena (then clarified it’s 2nd behind Footprint Center):
“It’s just being in New York. Knowing that the people here actually like basketball… That’s the main reason, just the passion that you feel when you walk in here.” pic.x.com/pfIT9XADd8 – 10:54 PM

Cool to see Durant and Booker find a rhythm recently when it comes to who is taking over when. First half was KD, second half was Book. Comes naturally of course as opposed to a targeted time to take over but nonetheless it’s happened a few times now this month. – 9:32 PM

Obviously facing a seriously depleted Nets team helps, but this is one of those games where just having Kevin Durant and Devin Booker is enough. Kinda crazy to realize a win tonight would move the Suns to 20-8 this season (59-win pace) when Book/KD are both playing – 9:26 PM

As trade rumors swirl, Kevin Durant is incredulous if you think he won’t have enough gas down the stretch. He tells @YahooSports: “I ain’t a regular 36-year old. What am I gonna do, burn out?” sports.yahoo.com/as-trade-rumor… – 3:25 PM

More on this storyline
Will we see KD in another movie? Kevin Durant: Hell no, bro. I tried all that early on. That movie stuff ain’t for me. I’m sticking to what I do. -via YouTube / January 23, 2025
Kevin Durant: We were supposed to get Tyson Chandler too. We traded for him, but our doctors said something was wrong with his toe, so we rescinded the trade. The next season, Tyson went on to win the championship with Dallas. -via YouTube / January 23, 2025
Michael Scotto: Kevin Durant on the Brooklyn Nets: “I want to see this franchise do well. What’s it 12-13 picks they got?… When you look at the big picture, you’ve got young guys getting experience, you’re building assets and getting future picks. Hopefully, you can draft up and put the team together well. I think they’re walking in the right direction.” -via x.com / January 22, 2025
