Kevin Durant shamelessly dismissed trade rumors on his podcast days before trade request: is this the new media?
"It’s just reports. You know how rumors go around this time."
"It’s just reports. You know how rumors go around this time."
"When you’re talking about new media, you’ve got to address topics that the public wants to know!"
"Nobody is worse than Ben Simmons. Ben Simmons might also be the weakest, most pathetic excuse for a professional athlete we have ever seen in not just American history, but the history of sports."
"0 middle fingers raised vs Celtics (as far as we know)" is quite the graphic.
"Life has been incredible little Nicky."
As much as you might hate listening to Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith, trust us, Kevin Durant hates it even more.
Thankfully he has just minor symptoms, and they did not get in the way of a vintage rant.
"OH! BLAKE GRIFFIN! RAZZLE DAZZLE! OH HOOO! NETS LEVEL! KEVIN DURANT! THE RACK ATTACK! AND ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR!"
Irving and the Nets were previously fined $25,000 each in December.
"OH TERRYYYY! HOW DO YOU DOOOOO!"
"How can you 'roll out' something that's not a ball?"
"I pray we use the 'fine money' for the marginalized communities in need," Irving responded in an Instagram story.
This choice says a lot more than Kyrie wanted to say with his short statement.
"You went on Kevin Durant's podcast, and you were saying these things. So we in the media are not creating the clickbait. You and Kevin Durant are creating the clickbait."
The Nets' scrimmage was initially preempted for a Yankees game. But even after that Yankees game was postponed, YES showed a simulcast of The Michael Kay Show instead of the Nets.
Kyrie Irving was at New York nightclub 40/40. So were a bunch of Nets' players. But they insist they weren't there together.
Sterling previously called Nets' games from 1975-80 and Hawks' games from 1981-89.
