Kevin Durant got extremely psychological throughout his Phoenix Suns’ initial interview … resisting tears as he discussed just how much he likes his previous Brooklyn Nets teammates.
The minute took place when the 13-time All-Star was asked to summarize his experience in BK in front of fans at the Footprint Center in Phoenix on Thursday.
“I built a family over there,” he stated. “They gon’ always be a part of my journey.”

That’s when Durant — who was traded to the Suns recently — choked up, stating his previous teammates indicated a lot to him throughout his 4 years in Brooklyn.
“I love those guys,” Durant stated with tears in his eyes. “I get emotional talking about ’em because that was a special four years of my career, coming off an Achilles [injury] and they helped me a lot.”
Of course, the Nets were extremely preferred to win the NBA Finals when Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden were on the group together, however KD describes that didn’t take place because the trio hardly used the court all at once.
“It was amazing basketball for 17 games,” Durant joked. “In order for you to win a championship and to be a great team, you just need more time on the floor.”
Speaking of Kyrie, Durant stated he wasn’t sure what was going on when he requested his trade out of Brooklyn … however, he still provided the point player his flowers.

“He was a huge part of what we do,” Durant stated. “He’s a Hall of Fame player. Great player that can do everything on the floor and we relied on that.”
Durant will need to deal with Irving later on this season … when the Suns handle the Mavericks on March 5.
