Key takeaway from Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving podcast? They’re best friends

Tuesday is Kevin Durant’s 32nd birthday and he reversed the tradition by giving Nets fans a big present in his first of his “The Etcs” podcast with Kevin Durant”, a conversation between him and Kyrie Irving. It’s the first time the Nets two superstars have done something like this since they joined Brooklyn in June 2019.

There was a lot to digest in the hour-long discussion, but the key takeaway is that they are best friends who speak with each other daily ... and have big plans for Brooklyn.

In fact, the two revealed that their friendship, which may have blossomed in Rio de Janiero during the 2016 Olympics, actually goes back to 2011-12 and the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League.
