In his new book “Can’t Knock the Hustle,” former Bleacher Report and New York Times Editor Matt Sullivan goes “Inside the Season of Protest, Pandemic, and Progress with the Brooklyn Nets' Superstars of Tomorrow” to take a look at the Nets’ 2019-2020 season.
For that book, Sullivan interviewed some former associates of that season’s Nets, including Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, who had Kevin Durant for three seasons before KD bolted to Brooklyn...and apparently, had some less than savory things to say about Durant’s time in the Bay.
In the book, Kerr gave the following quote: “I could see the strain on his face every day, especially that third year, just all day. But it was, really, he was staring into that phone all the time."
And, in an interview Sullivan gave on a recent podcast about it, he also said that Kerr took Durant out one night when he was “sick of KD being on his burners and checking his DMs all the time,” and “tried to get Durant to stop beefing with kids on Twitter.”
Well, one Twitter user who quote tweeted that tweet by saying “(Durant) need to touch grass bro” (sic) now has beef with KD, who shot back with this on Tuesday:
Sullivan’s response?
By the way, the NBA Finals also begin Tuesday night, featuring the Milwaukee Bucks team that defeated Durant’s Nets in the conference semifinals, then defeated Atlanta in six games even without Giannis Antetokounmpo for multiple games.
