Former NBA MVP Kevin Durant is taking the season off to rehab before putting on his Brooklyn Nets jersey for real game action. That gives hundreds of thousands of New York basketball fans a chance to wear their own Nets “KD” jerseys first, before the surefire Hall of Famer ever wears his. Durant gave those fans something to drool over in the video below where he pours in shots from all over…
Alas, Durant’s fellow Nets newcomer superstar is also headed to rehab. After recently announced shoulder surgery Kyrie Irving will presumably make his next Nets appearance along with Durant, when the two return for the 2020-21 season.
Fans who look at this and want Durant back NOW are well-served to remember that he was hitting these shots before what turned out to be a premature return to the NBA Finals — and before he incurred the injury that knocked him out not just for weeks but for a season. All in good time is a good mantra for Nets fans, who must be practiced at patience by now!
