Skip Bayless, Kevin Durant
Kevin Durant in search of a trade with Brooklyn Nets and his decision to give up the franchise has been severely condemned from the start as the team unexpectedly departed from the 2022 playoffs. This offseason, Durant’s desire for a trade shocked the NBA. The renowned forward wants a change of atmosphere after spending only three seasons with the Brooklyn Nets, of which he played in only two. Unquestionably, KD’s future will have an impact on the early odds of contending in the 2022–23 NBA season. The Brooklyn Nets haven’t been very successful with Kyrie Irving and Durant there. Although they both have won championships, it has been challenging for them to win one in Brooklyn.
Despite barely recovering from an Achilles injury in the 2019–2020 season, KD’s position as the league’s top offensive player is unaffected. The coveted 7-foot sharpshooter is in high demand, and teams are attempting to put together trade offers that satisfy the Nets’ requirements. The controversial Skip Bayless talked about the circumstances in Brooklyn. He said that Kevin Durant lost his mental stability as the analyst continued by describing him as thin-skinned.
The Kyrie and Kevin Durant saga at Brooklyn
Many people were surprised by Kevin Durant’s request for a trade, especially after he agreed to the Nets for a 4-year extension. The 90 regular season games the two-time NBA champion has played for the Nets in his first three seasons have been quite productive for them. For the team, he scored 28.5 points a game on average, added 6 assists, and grabbed 7 rebounds per contest. In the 2019 offseason, Durant and his friend Kyrie Irving both signed with the Brooklyn Nets. The Milwaukee Bucks, who won the championship, were the team the Brooklyn Nets came closest to overthrowing in 2021. More recently, the eventual champion Boston Celtics swept the Brooklyn Nets.
Last season, Kyrie Irving missed more than 50 games due to his refusal to receive a vaccination. The Brooklyn Nets finished the season as the seventh seed in the East, in primarily attributed to his absence. Even though Kevin Durant was superb, the team needed Irving’s support to advance. Additionally, Durant himself missed 27 games as a result of injuries and a s soon as Irving’s choice to avoid the vaccine started to negatively impact the team’s performance, Durant may have ceased encouraging it. He left the Dubs and joined the Nets because he wanted to be his own man, and now everyone can see how that has turned out thus far.
Skip Bayless’ latest comments on Kevin Durant
On the “Undisputed,” Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless talked about the controversial subject. Skip asserted that during the Boston Celtics game, Durant seemed to have given up before even entering the court. After that, Skip attacked Kevin Durant, labelling him “the thinnest skin superstar” he had ever seen, for his “psychological flaws.” He said: “I’ve called him the thinnest skin superstar I’ve ever closely observed, I love his ability. I still think he is the best player on the planet because he’s the most gifted player on the planet and I still think he can play at an extremely high level.”
Durant won several Finals MVP honors, helped the Golden State Warriors win back-to-back championships, and led the league in scoring four times. Durant looks to be the franchise leader statistically, but perhaps he needs to improve his ability to think through and make decisions in order to advance in his career. Since the moment he stepped foot in Seattle, Durant has established himself as a league superstar. But the latest controversy has undoubtedly damaged his reputation. The Slim Reaper appears to be on a quest in 2022–2023 to disprove his critics, wherever he may be.
