The Knicks weren’t on Kevin Durant’s timetable.
In his first real explanation on why he chose Brooklyn over the Knicks’ iconic franchise, Durant said the more veteran roster of the Nets was a key.
Durant made his remarks on a YouTube show hosted by former Thunder teammate, Serge Ibaka. In the past, Durant said he didn’t give the Knicks more than a second’s thought.
“I just liked the organization as far as the direction they were going in – a bunch of young guys that played in the playoffs before,” Durant said of the Nets.
