Kyrie Irving has made a bold declaration: the dynamic duo of him and Kevin Durant will “NEVER be topped.” In a revealing Twitch stream, Irving addressed the fallout from their time with the Brooklyn Nets, dispelling rumors of discord between him and Durant, as well as coach Steve Nash. “I’m not beefing with anybody,” he asserted, aiming to clarify the narrative surrounding their tumultuous period in Brooklyn.
Irving expressed deep admiration for Durant, emphasizing their unique on-court chemistry. “I came to Brooklyn thinking that we were going to have a totally different time, and it went crazy,” he admitted, acknowledging the challenges they faced. However, he took full accountability for his actions during that time, admitting he wasn’t always in the best mental and emotional state.
Despite the ups and downs, Irving reflected on their partnership with pride. “The 7-Eleven duo of me and KD will never be topped,” he declared, underscoring the rarity of their connection. He recognized Durant as one of the greatest players of all time, stating, “Playing with KD, that was OD,” a testament to the respect he holds for his former teammate.
As Irving continues to navigate his career post-Brooklyn, his tribute to Durant serves as a poignant reminder of their shared aspirations and the challenges that ultimately shaped their legacy. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely as Irving embarks on the next chapter, but one thing is clear: the bond forged on the court with Durant is one he believes will stand the test of time.
