Like in 2016 when he joined the Warriors, Kevin Durant is putting himself a lot back to back with his new transfer request, following a more than chaotic season with the Nets. In the middle of a storm, he received strong support, that of the mother of a former teammate.
Since arriving in Brooklyn in 2019, Kevin Durant was no longer necessarily the most hated player in the league, a status he carried throughout his time at Golden State. It must be said that following two titles won in an established and dominant dynasty, he tried to create his own history with the Nets, in a franchise that was just waiting for him to move into another dimension.
Unfortunately, following three seasons and only one series of playoffs won, the No. 7 has not achieved his personal and collective goals, which makes his departure incomprehensible to some. On social networks, Shaquille O’Neal, for example, took out the sulfateuse and explained that Kevin Durant was not a leader capable of carrying a team at the top in the role of n°1, unlike Stephen Curry.
Draymond Green’s mother comes to the rescue of Kevin Durant
Despite the many criticisms once morest him, KD can still count on some support, some of them very unexpected. The fans of the franchises likely to welcome him are obviously fully behind him, with the hope of seeing him land in the coming weeks, but also certain teammates and former teammates, as well as their families. The proof, the mother of Draymond Green just posted a message to him on Twitter.
This stuff is hilarious…. Everyone saying who don’t want one of the greatest players to ever play the game! I wouldn’t care what a spectator/commentator say period! Basketball players play basketball! GO PLAY! Wherever you want!

This situation is hilarious… Everyone says who doesn’t want one of the best players in basketball history! I wouldn’t care what fans and journalists say. Basketball players are playing basketball! GO PLAY! Where you want !
For Ms. Green, regardless of the comments of fans and journalists, Kevin Durant is a basketball player, so he has the right to practice his profession wherever he wishes. At a time when everyone is falling on him for his decision, receiving support from a familiar face should make him happy. It remains to be seen whether KD will indeed be exchanged in one of the franchises of his choice.
The question is even to know if it will be exchanged at all, since according to certain specialists, the Nets would be willing to wait a long time before giving in to his request. Kevin Durant is under contract for another 4 years, GM Sean Marks might decide to wait for better offers before letting go of his best player, even if it takes months.
Kevin Durant will no doubt leave before the start of next season, and he will be the target of many critiques, especially if he lands in one of the franchises of his choice. Fortunately, he can always count on some relatives.
