Irving is broadcasting live on Durant, what s going on?

I didn't expect that Irving and Durant could do so many things these days.

Actually, I was writing about Durant taunting Rockets teammates? I felt a little strange when I saw that Durant did perform a bit too "real" that day.

This is probably what happened.

On July 8, Durant was a podcast show "Mind the Game" by former teammate LeBron James and former coach Steve Nash. Speaking of the Nets years, Durant said bluntly: "I feel like every day, Nash and I are all working hard to win the championship. The atmosphere in the team, especially in the first year, was one of the most enjoyed times in my career, and that's why I renewed my appointment early in the season. But so much happened around people who really put themselves in the team, and it was the feeling that only the two of us (with Nash) were wholehearted and not the others. The whole situation felt weird." In words, he attributed the complexity of that experience in part to the difference in commitment within the team.

This remark aroused Irving's response two weeks later. On July 24, Irving watched the show clip (watched it with everyone on the live broadcast!!) and responded strongly to Durant's statement. Regarding the statement of "goal consistency", Irving retorted: "Everyone's ultimate goal is of course the same, but as a leader, it is necessary to understand that not everyone will fully follow your opinion." He specifically mentioned the head coach candidate: "When we promised to join forces, there was no Nash in the plan. But this is your person (Durant chose), and as a little brother, I accept it. But when you have promised the same goal as me, the situation changes in just one year. What happened behind the scenes is indeed as KD said, very strange, and it is for everyone."

Irving's live broadcast is quite informative. He analyzed the deal between James Harden and Ben Simmons in detail, believing that it was "unfair from the beginning", not only because of Simmons' state and pressure at that time, but more importantly, the team lost assistant coach Amy Uduka and an assistant general manager, while Harden joined the opponent of the same district, Philadelphia 76ers. "They know all of our details," Irving pointed out. During the live broadcast, he even proposed to "talk about this time more honestly" in the documentary in the future, suggesting that more inside stories need to be revealed. In the end, the live broadcast, full of explosive points, was interrupted by a call from his stepmother and his agent, Shetellia Riley.

But in fact, Irving was not just unilaterally dissed Durant. He emphasized that he actually thought KD was a friend (he also called Durant through the live broadcast), and his words were full of reconciliation and nostalgia. He first warmly reviewed the first year of the Nets' Big Three: "It's really special. We have veterans and young people, and we spent a regular season easily. It's so relaxing. I have to praise everyone in the locker room." Talking about the regretful playoff journey (myself injured, Harden injured, Durant's three-pointer against the Bucks G7), Irving expressed deep regret: "If KD's foot did not step on the line, if I was not injured... Maybe we have been many championships now, and some of us will have multiple MVPs. Various 'if'. In fact, that period was very difficult for everyone."

Irving is stronger, not once, but many championships! The most core transformation is that Irving clearly expressed his willingness to repair the relationship: "At the end of the day, this is business. Basketball should not be a place full of anger...Those so-called dramatic events, many of the contradictions that are not real... They are my brothers. I care about these people." From a fierce response to Durant's remarks to an active emphasis on brotherhood, Irving's position has completed a significant easing in a few days.

This is probably the case, but everything is over. Irving, Durant and Harden have gone to the same division after several transfers.

Now, Durant continues to chase the championship in my fire, Irving proves the key value in the Dallas Mavericks, and Harden also signed a new two-year contract with the Los Angeles Clippers.

So see you at the peak of the West?
