Kevin Durant
After being inches away from sending the Brooklyn Nets to the Conference finals in the previous season, Kevin Durant has been the sole star for the team once again. In the 2021-22 season, the 33-years-old marquee scorer is known to be one of the most lethal scorers to have ever stepped into the league and is surely among the G.O.A.T contenders but this time his words were surely not taken well by the league as the NBA punished him for his interview mishaps.
When Brooklyn Nets locked horns against the Chicago Bulls in their most recent encounter, the Kevin Durant led side registered an emphatic victory. But to make matters worse for KD, the NBA fined $15,000for comments he made speaking to the media on Monday night.

Why was Kevin Durant punished by NBA?
Durant was asked about potentially being worn down, having played so many minutes. Kevin Durant’s initial response went viral, saying “No, let me die out there.” He then clarified saying that he felt fine and is not concerned with the extra minutes.
Apart from this fine imposed on the 33-years-old, Kevin Durant has been producing the bets numbers so far in his career. Managing to lead the Nets in the highly-competitive Eastern Conference, the spoken off forward has done everything he can in order to maintain the Nets into the top ranks.
Having said that, this fine will surely keep all top players in check with what they say and what language they use. As far as KD is concerned, he surely seems to be raging in order to avenge the disheartening loss from the last season. Making the team fight with full venom, he finally has the part-time services of Kyrie Irving with him as well. However, the primary question being, will the trio of Nets be able to make a promising run for the championship in 2021-22 season, this time around?
