Durant, Irving discuss decision to choose Brooklyn during Nets Media Day
SUNSET PARK — After acquiring two of the NBA’s coveted free agents Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving this past summer, the Brooklyn Nets finally formally introduced the stars during the team’s media day on Friday, Sept. 27 at the HSS Training Center in Industry City.
During the event, the two stars spoke to the media about how they became Nets and why Brooklyn felt like the best place for the two to team up.
“I’m very grateful to be here,” said Irving, the six-time all-star who had been long-rumored to join the Nets while still playing for the Boston Celtics this past season.
