‘Superstar with the thinnest skin’ Skip Bayless humiliatingly slams Kevin Durant over psychological flaws » FirstSportz

Kevin Durant looking for a trade with Brooklyn Networks and his decision to abandon the franchise was met with harsh condemnation from the start when the team unexpectedly exited the 2022 playoffs. This offseason, Durant’s desire for a trade shocked the NBA. The renowned forward is looking for a change of atmosphere after spending just three seasons with the Brooklyn Nets, of which he only played in two. Undoubtedly, KD’s future will impact its early winning odds in the 2022-23 NBA season. The Brooklyn Nets weren’t very successful there with Kyrie Irving and Durant. Despite winning both championships, winning one in Brooklyn was a challenge for them.

Although KD barely recovered from an Achilles injury during the 2019–2020 season, KD’s position as the league’s top attacking player remains untouched. The coveted 7ft sniper is in high demand and teams are trying to put together trades that match the needs of the networks. The controversial Skip Bayless spoke about the circumstances in Brooklyn. He said Kevin Durant lost his mental stability when the analyst went on to describe him as thin-skinned.

The saga of Kyrie and Kevin Durant in Brooklyn

Many people were surprised by Kevin Durant’s request for a trade, especially after he agreed to a 4-year extension with the Nets. The two-time NBA champion’s 90 regular-season games in his first three seasons with the Nets have been quite productive for them. For the team, he averaged 28.5 points per game, added 6 assists and 7 rebounds per contest. During the 2019 offseason, Durant and friend Kyrie Irving both signed with the Brooklyn Nets. The championship-winning Milwaukee Bucks were the closest team the Brooklyn Nets would have come to in 2021. More recently, eventual champion Boston Celtics swept the Brooklyn Nets.

Last season, Kyrie Irving missed more than 50 games because he refused to get vaccinated. The Brooklyn Nets finished the season as the seventh seed in the East, largely due to his absence. Although Kevin Durant was great, the team needed Irving’s support to move forward. Additionally, Durant himself missed 27 games due to injuries, and once Irving’s decision to avoid the vaccine had a negative impact on the team’s performance, Durant may have stopped promoting it. He left the Dubs and joined the Nets because he wanted to be his own man and now everyone can see how that’s panned out so far.
