At one point in time, Kevin Durant and LeBron James were the two best players in the NBA. Both players were nigh unstoppable.

However, back in 2018, LeBron James decided to leave the Cavaliers and take his talents to LA. Here, The King failed to make an impact in his first season in Cali.
At this point, Kevin Durant who was with the Warriors came out and stated that the environment while playing with LeBron is toxic. Well, in 2022 it would seem irony is a cruel mistress.
Kevin Durant’s comments on the toxic playing environment around LeBron James come back to haunt him
In 2018, KD boldly stated that the playing environment surrounding LeBron James was toxic. This being both on and off the basketball court.
Four years on and it looks like those comments have come back to bite him. As the Slim Reaper deals with a toxic teammate in Kyrie Irving, one fan did not fail to point out the irony.

Irving’s many controversies over the past two years have not been ideal for Durant’s aspirations. Especially the most recent one surrounding anti-Semitism.
Safe to say that KD would love to go back in time and take back those comments about The King.
The Brooklyn Nets may be forced to trade Kevin Durant because of Kyrie Irving
Kyrie Irving’s recent antics have raised a lot of concerns for the Brooklyn Nets franchise. So much so, that some believe this might be the perfect excuse for Kevin Durant to take his leave.
The dysfunctional Nets have only one choice: trade Kevin Durant and start recouping draft picks and young players.
