Kevin Durant strongly believes that the entire NBA community is keen on witnessing his team, the Brooklyn Nets, fail.

However, he is also aware of what could happen if their lethal energy is not activated soon. Recently, on ‘Inside the NBA’, Shaq spoke about Durant’s team while issuing them with a warning.

With the likes of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and Ben Simmons, the Nets were one of the favorites to win the championship at the start of the season. However, chaos has consumed them. Their performances have been disappointing for fans and the off-court controversy surrounding Kyrie Irving recently has left many in disarray. To add to their misery, they are currently placed 10th on the Eastern Conference table with an 8-10 record so far this season. While they still do have a chance to enter the playoffs, winning a championship from here would require their fortunes to turn dramatically.
