Kevin Durant went with Kyrie Irving a few years back to play with the Brooklyn Nets and NOT the New York Knicks. He was a shoe size away from potentially leading the Nets to an NBA Championship, or at least the Finals in 2021. James Harden was also on the team. The "Big 3" played a total of 16 games together over 2 seasons, and all requested trades and went their separate ways. The New York Knicks "brand" will always dwarf the Nets and KD.
