Steve Nash was dismissed, Sean Marks was disheveled and Kyrie Irving has his fingerprints on dismantling yet another team with championship aspirations. That’s three, if you’re keeping count. This is why Kevin Durant understood this dysfunction wasn’t gonna change, that this powder keg of bad ingredients was always due to explode and he tried to get ahead of the posse in asking out of Brooklyn. If Durant backed down from his summer trade demand only because he had to, what has occurred… Source link

Pickleball, crazy as it sounds, has been hot. Now, the space has two new high-profile entrants — sports manager Rich Kleiman and NBA superstar Kevin Durant. The co-founders at Thirty Five Ventures, also called 35V, announced Thursday that they’ve bought a team in Major League Pickleball (MLP). “I love the sport,” Kleiman told Yahoo Finance. “I love the culture around the sport and the fact that we’re at beginning of the development of a professional sports league, at a time when the sport… Source link

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – SEPTEMBER 10: Nate Diaz taunts Tony Ferguson in a welterweight fight during the UFC 279 event at T-Mobile Arena on September 10, 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC) Nate Diaz‘s exit interview from the UFC went about as expected after an incredible turn of events during fight week meant he’d be facing Tony Ferguson on short notice in the main event of UFC 279 instead of Khamzat Chimaev. Diaz locked in what may end up being the final submission of his… Source link

Former Cup Series champion Kevin Harvick voiced his frustrations with NASCAR and its new Cup Series car after his car caught fire Sunday night at Darlington. Harvick was forced to park his car and get out of it while on track after it went up in flames during the final stage of the race won by Erik Jones. Harvick said that fire started coming through his dash two laps before he parked it and the flames kept getting worse. Harvick called the parts on the car “crappy-ass” in his interview… Source link

Kevin Durant is back with the Brooklyn Nets, and so are his Twitter fights. Soon after the Nets announced they and Durant agreed to stick together, Utah Jazz guard Patrick Beverley asserted that the months-long trade speculation around Durant likely affected the livelihood of many players in the league. Beverley insinuated that players, “Haven’t got a job because of this KD [expletive],” and that he didn’t like the Nets effectively dangling the allure of a Durant trade in front of seemingly… Source link

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline‘s public war of words took an even more personal turn on Wednesday night. Federline posted videos of the singer seemingly yelling at their sons — Sean Preston, 16, and Jayden James, 15 — four years ago. Yahoo Entertainment viewed the clips, which appear to be from two separate incidents, before Federline deleted the post. “I can not sit back and let my sons be accused in this way after what they’ve been through,” Spears’s ex-husband wrote on Instagram….

“But this is Kevin Durant.” That line from Shams Charania’s report for The Athletic, which suggested the Boston Celtics offered Jaylen Brown as the centerpiece of a trade for the Brooklyn Nets superstar, is a common refrain in analysis of the one-time league MVP’s value. In a vacuum, Durant is better than Brown and may have meant the difference between a six-game NBA Finals loss to the Golden State Warriors and the Celtics’ 18th championship. Of course Boston should gauge Brooklyn’s interest… Source link

LAS VEGAS — It would appear Kevin Durant’s trade request would be a tipping point to the player empowerment era, a chance for NBA team owners to reset the paradigm after a decade-plus of star movement. After all, if a star in the New York market who’s just entering a four-year extension worth nearly $200 million can force his way out, a contract between player and team might as well be written with disappearing ink. A period that began with LeBron James exercising his right as a free… Source link

With superstar Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving requesting trades out of Brooklyn, the Nets organization is accepting offers and at the moment there is zero traction. NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported that Los Angeles hasn’t really been aggressive in the pursuit of seven-time All-Star Irving. “Similar to Durant, a very slow moving market right now. I think unlike Kevin Durant, I think there is a limited number of teams where it might make sense. I do think there are teams that… Source link
