On February 4, Beijing time, Durant tweeted in response to the views of the famous Stephen A-Smith, dissatisfied with his statement, and bluntly said that it was very bad.
"It's terrible." Durant retweeted Smith's statement and wrote it. Apparently, Durant was rather unhappy with his comments. The fans also supported him, angrily accusing Smith of being too disrespectful.
What exactly did Smith say? "If the Nets don't win the title, Kevin Durant will be in a position to be remembered for being the 'man who left Curry for Owen' rather than because of the two-time championship and Finals MVP," he said. ”
Smith also explained, "I'm not trying to strip him of his honor, he's still the two-time championship, Finals MVP, but I mean he's going to be more likely to be remembered as the 'guy who left Curry for Owen.'" ”
In Smith's view, Durant also sacrificed the greater possibility of winning the championship in order to play with Irving. Obviously, if he had stayed with the Warriors, Durant would have had a better chance of winning the championship.
Today, the Nets have suffered six straight losses, and only four teams in NBA history have still won championships in six consecutive losing seasons. They were the 2010–11 Mavericks (the predecessor of the Lone Rangers), the 2003–04 Pistons, the 1978–79 Supersonics (the predecessor of the Thunder), and the 1950–51 Cincinnati Royals (the predecessor of the Kings).
The Nets Big Three have only been together twice this season, and have only played 16 games since they joined forces. If the Nets lose the title, the Big Three are likely to break up, and now they can only wait for Durant to come back to turn the tide.
