Houston Rockets star Kevin Durant appeared on the Mind the Game podcast hosted by LeBron James and Steve Nash on Tuesday. The episode draws attention because Durant and Nash shared three seasons together in Brooklyn, a period marked by high expectations but limited success.

The Complex Brooklyn Chapter Between Durant and Nash

Durant, along with Kyrie Irving, is said to have influenced the decision to hire Steve Nash as the Brooklyn Nets’ head coach before the 2020-21 season. Despite this, the trio only managed one playoff series victory during their challenging time together. Their relationship and experiences over those years have been described as complex and dramatic.

Following a disappointing 2-5 start to that season, Nash was relieved of his coaching duties, though Sean Marks remained as the Nets’ general manager. Both Durant and Irving were traded midseason, signaling the end of that era in Brooklyn.

Anticipation Surrounds the Podcast Reunion

Durant’s appearance alongside Nash on LeBron’s show offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from both men about their shared past. Fans and analysts alike expect an honest and reflective discussion about what really occurred during their time in Brooklyn and how those experiences shaped their careers.
