The Kevin Durant-led Brooklyn Nets have stepped up during the 2022-23 NBA season. The season started off with a lot of trouble for the NY side as they were steamrolled by the opposing teams. Additionally, the Nets had a lot of controversies to deal with during that period, issues that would hamper the morale of any squad. Taking all of that into consideration, their rise to the top five in the league has been nothing short of sensational. Meanwhile, Kevin Durant, who has been unavailable for the past few games due to an MCL sprain, recently posted an appreciation tweet for his star teammate, leaving NBA fans in chaos.

Kyrie Irving dominated the Utah Jazz on Friday with an amazing performance. As his teammate Durant posted a clip of his domination, fans flooded social media to give their opinions on KD’s sentiments.
