Apparently, the New York Knicks lost out on Kevin Durant because their practice facility is inconvenient. Yes, I’m serious. According to Bill Oram of The Athletic, in a series of interactions straight out of middle school, Jared Dudley thought it took too long to get to the Knicks’ practice facility in Westchester. The Nets’ facility, by contrast, was 12 minutes away from where Dudley lived. Dudley told DeAndre Jordan about it. Jordan told Durant.
“That’s why Brooklyn got Kevin Durant,” Dudley told The Athletic.
Dudley was quick to point out, though, that he has nothing against the team.
