“Kevin Durant would rather challenge anonymous people on Twitter!”: NBA Twitter reacts as sportswriter Frank Isola calls out $48 million Nets man for his lack of leadership
Kevin Durant is on his way out of Brooklyn after requesting a trade. As things heat up, NBA Twitter slams his lack of leadership!
In 2019, the Brooklyn Nets believed they hit the jackpot when they landed both Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in free agency.
Three years later, the relationship between the organization and the two superstars deteriorated. Both KD and Kyrie are looking to find new homes.
Many Brooklyn fans were hoping that the experiment would prove fruitful. Durant was amazing as always, averaging 29 points, seven rebounds, and six assists in two seasons. Alas, all the drama surrounding the team has forced him to look for a trade.

Granted, Kevin Durant never wanted to be a leader, and would rather focus on his game. Nevertheless, you always look to your best player for leadership.
