Kevin Durant Articles - Page 100

The NBA is gearing up for a season-long celebration of its 75th anniversary. They went all out in a recent promotional video that featured some of the biggest names in the league — both past and present. LeBron James and Kevin Durant were some of the headliners of this epic clip, which as of writing, […]

There had been some optimism that Kyrie Irving would ultimately get his COVID-19 vaccine because of Kevin Durant, but now there’s increasing uncertainty over whether that will actually happen. With the regular season rapidly approaching, the Brooklyn Nets are preparing for the possibility of not having Irving available for home games. At Nets Media Day, […]

On Tuesday, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski broke the news about the Brooklyn Nets’ uncertainty of accommodating Kyrie Irving, who remains bullishly unvaccinated against COVID-19. Just to give a quick brief, the New York City rules state that unvaccinated players for the Brooklyn Nets or New York Knicks (they’re 100% vaccinated) cannot play in games or even […]

It seems the Brooklyn Nets are handling a lot of distractions these days, with the new NBA season opening its curtains just a few weeks from now. Just in case you’ve been living under a rock, Nets star guard Kyrie Irving continues to refuse the COVID-19 vaccine. He already missed their first home practice on […]

The Golden State Warriors were looking at a doomsday scenario with forward Andrew Wiggins with his resistance to get the COVID-19 vaccine. He eventually opted to get shot, avoiding further drama coming into the season. The Brooklyn Nets, however, aren’t getting as much luck with Kyrie Irving. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the mercurial Nets […]

Let’s keep it real. The odds of Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James bagging the MVP award this coming season aren’t very good. Nevertheless, this is still The King we’re talking about here, so for him to get ZERO votes in the NBA’s recent GM survey is just straight-up slander. NBA.com recently released the results […]

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James just keeps winning in life. It was recently unveiled that LeBron now has his own building in the main headquarters of Nike in Oregon and it looks absolutely AMAZING. The King was super proud of his latest achievement, posting a series of pictures on his Instagram showing the wonderful […]

The NBA preseason is kicking off with a bang – well, at least on paper. Title favorites the Brooklyn Nets and the Los Angeles Lakers are set to square off in the first preseason game, but the action will be devoid of most of the stars. Despite Kevin Durant and Co. sitting this one out, […]

James Harden only joined the Brooklyn Nets midseason last year. But as one of the best players on the team, nay, the league, he’s taken it upon himself to assume leadership on the roster. One of his responsibilities has been to make sure team chemistry is at its best, both on and off the court. […]

DeAndre Jordan made waves when he decided to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers in the summer. Not only did he add more star power to LA, but what stood out more is the fact that he spent last season with the Lakers’ biggest threat to the 2022 NBA title in the Brooklyn Nets. Jordan […]

With the season set to tip-off in a couple of weeks’ time, Kevin Durant and his Brooklyn Nets appear to be in the final stages of their preparation. The Nets are the heavy favorites to go all the way this season, and this recent video clip from a scrimmage session could prove just that. The […]

The biggest threat to the Brooklyn Nets’ title hopes is coming from in-house. Kyrie Irving has thus far stayed firm on his stance against taking the COVID-19 vaccine, which would keep him out of home games due to city regulations in New York. Shaquille O’Neal recently called him out on the decision, not for his […]

Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets are as deep as any team in the Eastern Conference which is a product of their miraculous bargain-bin, void-filling NBA offseason. One of those signings fell through the cracks, however, and will have a profound impact on head coach Steve Nash’s rotation. That signing is point guard Patty Mills. […]

SAN FRANCISCO — Golden State Warriors fans know about the Draymond Green and Kevin Durant fight in 2019. This summer, the two NBA stars decided to sit down and speak about it publicly on Bleacher Report’s Chips with Draymond Green. Green talked with the local media about it for the first time after Thursday’s practice, […]

Fact: Kevin Durant is not not good. Also fact: He will be in MVP form once again for the Brooklyn Nets this upcoming season. Durant has been among the NBA’s top five players for years now. Last season, he almost singlehandedly led the Nets to the Eastern Conference Finals, with his running mates James Harden […]

It’s no secret that Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant has had his fair share of spats with the media. There have been numerous times when he didn’t appreciate the way he’s being portrayed, especially during his stint with the Golden State Warriors. But entering his 15th season, Durant appears to be handling things more maturely, […]

Despite an early playoff exit last year, Kevin Durant still proved to everyone that he makes a case to be the best player in the world. After missing an entire season due to a torn achilles’ tendon injury, he displayed one of the best injury comebacks in history. Unfortunately with injuries hitting the Nets, KD […]

The Brooklyn Nets just signed on all-time shooting legend Kyle Korver to join their team as an assistant coach in August. It hasn’t taken long for him to make an impact on the roster. The sharpshooter is obviously going to put in the work with the the wings on the team to improve their outside […]

As of today, the Brooklyn Nets are the favorites to win the NBA championship. But who poses the biggest threat to their supposed supremacy? We’re going to look at a handful of teams who might be able to go toe-to-toe with the Big Three of Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving. Assuming Irving can […]

Brooklyn Nets headlines are being dominated by Kyrie Irving’s vaccination status, the NBA’s biggest bombshell story of the season so far. However, there are obviously other big storylines surrounding the 2021-22 title favorite, including another one involving Irving. That would be contract extensions. Kevin Durant has already signed his extension. Will the Big Three stay together […]

The Nets had one goal a season ago, which was to stay healthy so they can beat the brakes off everyone else. They couldn’t do it. A pair of injuries to James Harden and Kyrie Irving derailed their title aspirations. The Milwaukee Bucks would not have survived if either Nets’ guard was able to go. […]

Brooklyn Nets media day was Monday, and there was one major story by several miles: Kyrie Irving and his lack of an update on his vaccination status. Everyone was wondering if the star guard is in fact not vaccinated. If not, would that mean he cannot hoop in Brooklyn this season? New York City is […]

The Brooklyn Nets held Media Day on Monday. The biggest story surrounding the team at this time is whether or not Kyrie Irving is vaccinated and if he’ll be eligible to play in Brooklyn’s 41 regular-season home games. Everything else sort of pales in comparison at this point. We came into Media Day wondering if […]

A rather interesting character somehow snuck into the Brooklyn Nets Media Day on Monday and had a couple of interesting questions for Kevin Durant. David Letterman hilariously asked KD a few things and the Nets superstar went right along with it. Take a look: David Letterman: “Why people call you KD?” Kevin Durant: “My first […]

With the start of the 2021-22 NBA season now less than a month away, Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving has held firm on his decision to not receive the COVID-19 vaccine, making him ineligible to play home games at Barclays Center due to New York City’s vaccine mandate. At the Nets’ Media Day, when asked […]

This situation went from zero to 60 in a hurry. You don’t have to be vaccinated to play in the NBA, but you do have to be vaccinated if you play for the Knicks or in Brooklyn. That would theoretically only leave road games for any Net who didn’t want a jab. So…is it possible […]

Kyrie Irving has made his stance clear – he’s not going to get the COVID-19 vaccine. At this point in time, it seems as though his position isn’t going to change anytime soon. That could pose a huge problem for the Brooklyn Nets. The buzz around non-vaccinated NBA players and the consequences that their decisions […]

Kevin Durant’s Brooklyn Nets and LeBron James’ Los Angeles Lakers are considered as the top two favorites to win the crown in 2021-22. The Denver Nuggets aren’t exactly seen as a top contender, especially with Jamal Murray still nursing an injury ahead of the start of the new season. Well, don’t tell Nikola Jokic that. […]

Kevin Durant and Draymond Green had their infamous on-court spat in 2018 that many saw as the first big crack in the Golden State Warriors dynasty. In their sit-down interview back in August, Durant and Green rehashed the incident and how it ultimately affected KD’s decision to leave the Warriors. Surprisingly, KD claimed it wasn’t […]

The Brooklyn Nets were one of the many teams linked to never-ending Ben Simmons trade rumors recently. It was Stephen A. Smith last week, who suggested that the Nets would have strongly considered swapping Kyrie Irving for the former first overall pick out of Australia, if not for Kevin Durant putting his foot down. So […]

The best player in the world plays for the Brooklyn Nets. Kevin Durant was recently ranked the league’s best player by both ESPN and Sports Illustrated.  James Harden cracked the top 10 and Kyrie Irving the top 20 of each list as well. So is this Nets team, currently the odds on favorites to win […]

If you’re reading that headline and thinking to yourself, “Whoa whoa, Kevin Durant was the best player alive in 2017 or 2018 also,”, I think you may well have a point. But Durant did miss a full season with a severe Achilles injury since then. He has now regained (or finally gained depending on your […]

The Brooklyn Nets sent shockwaves across the NBA last season when they added more MVP caliber talent to their already star-heavy squad. Acquiring James Harden back in winter basically ensured they would have three of the top 15-20 players in the league. But do the Nets have so much offensive talent that they cannot maximize […]

Los Angeles Lakers forward Carmelo Anthony, now a teammate of LeBron James, has made some polarizing remarks in the past, but for the most part, he’s been straight with his thoughts, even though they’re not popular. Anthony recently sat down with the boys of the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast to talk about a […]

We may have a bit of clarity on the Brooklyn Nets’ vaccination hold-out situation. On Tuesday, we learned that if the team held practices in Brooklyn, a couple of their players would not yet be eligible. It wasn’t an issue Tuesday because training camp is in San Diego. But the gist seemed to be that […]

Nets’ training camp is set for Tuesday September 28th in San Diego. They begin their preseason at Staples Center on the third of October when they’ll face the Lakers. There are a few questions on everyone’s minds as the team gears up for the marathon regular season ahead. Let’s start with three questions we know […]

ESPN Insider Stephen A. Smith may not exactly be Adrian Wojnarowski when it comes to scoops. His best strength is dishing rapid-fire opinions on “First Take,” getting a dialogue started on all things sports in a very entertaining manner. But he does have an extensive background as a reporter, beginning his career with The Philadelphia […]

Michael Porter Jr. has always looked up to Kevin Durant, admitting recently that he still has a lot to learn from him. However, there are two other NBA stars that the Denver Nuggets youngster really admires: Stephen Curry and Giannis Antetokounmpo. In an exclusive interview with ClutchPoints, Porter named the three as his favorite players […]

Magic Johnson recently called Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James the “greatest player in the game today.” Naturally, he can’t say the same to any other player now. With that said, he gave a rather different but still fitting praise for Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant when they had a business meeting. On Twitter, Johnson […]
