Kyrie Irving has made a bold declaration that is sending shockwaves through the NBA community: the dynamic duo of himself and Kevin Durant will “NEVER be topped.” In a recent Twitch stream, Irving addressed the fallout from their time in Brooklyn, asserting that despite the challenges they faced, their partnership on the court remains unparalleled.

Irving was quick to clarify that there is no animosity between him and Durant, nor with former coach Steve Nash. “I would like to just say this as a disclaimer,” he insisted, emphasizing that his relationship with KD is rooted in love and respect. He expressed gratitude for Durant’s engagement on social media, stating, “I appreciate that, you guys. I appreciate the engagement.”

Reflecting on their tumultuous tenure with the Brooklyn Nets, Irving took accountability for his own struggles, admitting, “I wasn’t always in the best space mentally, spiritually, physically, emotionally.” He acknowledged the myriad of narratives spun after their departure but remained resolute in his belief that their on-court chemistry was extraordinary. “I took a chance on winning a championship with my best friend,” he revealed, underscoring the significance of their bond.

As Irving reminisced about their time together, he proclaimed, “The 7-Eleven duo of me and KD will never be topped,” highlighting the unique synergy they shared. He recognized the greatness of Durant, calling him “one of the best of all time,” and underscored the importance of their respective roles as leaders.

With the NBA season fast approaching, Irving’s proclamation raises questions about the future of the league’s star pairings. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely as both players embark on new chapters in their careers, but one thing is clear: the legacy of Irving and Durant in Brooklyn is far from forgotten.
