The Brooklyn Nets would look to make it a three-game winning streak as they go up against the Boston Celtics in their next matchup. The team has a 27-13 overall record, placing them in the second position in the Eastern Conference. And it looks like Nets players are finally having fun playing with each other. Interestingly, a new handshake routine between Kevin Durant with his teammate may have raised a few eyebrows.
NBA players often have extravagant handshakes with their friends and teammates. Some of the front runners for this are LeBron James and Kyrie Irving. But looks like Kevin Durant is not too far behind.

A video clip of the Nets going through their pre-game warmup surfaced where Kevin Durant and Markieff Morris went through a new handshake. By the looks of the video clip, it looked like Morris came up with their new handshake. Morris was seen teaching Durant a new handshake where it seems as if they were rolling something and placing it behind their ear. Fans on the other hand could not believe it and went on to Twitter to share their reactions.

The Brooklyn Nets recently went on a 12-game winning streak before finally losing a game to the Chicago Bulls. However, the Nets bounced back well as they have then won two games in a row, looking to make it three as they go up against the Celtics.
It is a relief for the Nets fans to see the team finally playing up to their potential given how disastrous of a start they had this season. But it looks like their new interim head coach Jacque Vaughn was the missing piece of the puzzle.
