The brotherhood of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant
Back in the summer of 2019, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant were both looking for new teams. After watching them, it was observed that the two would go together as a duo wherever they go. It was their friendship that got them looking for a new team together, and after watching them play together, one can say that they bring the same chemistry on the court.
The same could be observed last night as well. KD came off the bench for the Nets and showed the world why he is regarded as the best scorer in the league. The best part? Kyrie was right there on the bench cheering his buddy on!

The individual chemistries are solid for the Nets. However, they do have some work to do in the team chemistry department. Ever since the James Harden trade, the three stars have only played seven games together. What’s worse for them is that Harden is ruled out till the end of the regular season. In order to compete for the ring, the Nets would have to build chemistry right off the bat when Harden makes his return.
