Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving were a Brooklyn Nets duo that seemed unstoppable at the start of the 2020 season. Since the KD trade from the Golden State Warriors and Irving from the Boston Celtics, fans have desperately been waiting for the duo to play together. One thing or the other, both the players couldn’t clock in as much time together.

With injuries happening already, the duo couldn’t play much time together. On top of that, Irving’s vaccination saga further delayed his return. When James Harden joined forces with the duo, fans were already dreaming of victory parades.
