Post-season Hero of the New York Yankees Left Legend Kevin Durant’s Team as He Names His Favorite Team Among Others From the Big Apple

Two times NBA champion Kevin Durant of the Brooklyn Nets is having a great time on the basketball court this season. The 34-year-old, after making his debut in 2007, has already earned around fifty accolades to his name. Despite being a top NBA player for the Nets, Durant has failed to impress a New York Yankees slugger.

In a recent interview with YES Network, the Pinstripes slugger Harrison Bader was asked about his favorite teams in the Big Apple. Contradicting what KD’s fans might choose, Bader decided to go the other way around. Bader’s replies could easily irk some of the Nets fans and seem like it already did to one of them.

To which he replied that he was a fan of the former. Then he was asked about his favorite NYC hockey team, which is the Rangers.

He had a grand celebration after the Yankees won the AL East. But his first home run came in the first game of the American League Division Series. Then the center fielder hit two more in the series to join Bernie Williams and Mickey Mantle in hitting three homers in the postseason as a Yankee. But he wasn’t going to stop. He hit yet another homer in the first game of the ALCS, becoming the first-ever Yankee to hit four home runs in the first six postseason games.
