Kevin Durant is twisting the knife on the New York Knicks ... saying it's no longer "cool" to play for New York ... just months after rejecting them for the Brooklyn Nets.
KD spoke about his free agency decision on HOT 97 in NYC Tuesday morning ... saying he was ready to move on from dominating with Golden State to take on a different challenge with a younger team.
“Basketball is most important thing for me," Durant said. "Kyrie [Irving], DeAndre Jordan, the young players they got was key."
"Playin' with Golden State, playing with a older group I thought it was time for me to impose my will on a younger team.
