8-time NBA All Star Vince Carter believes that Kevin Durant is “committed” to new coach Jacque Vaughn after his latest triple double against the New York Knicks.
The Brooklyn Nets stormed to a win over the New York Knicks in their latest game. After a couple of weeks marred by controversy including the Kyrie Irving anti-Semitism row and head coach Steve Nash getting the sack, the Brooklyn Nets bounded back with a statement win over the New York Knicks at the Barclays Center on Wednesday–all thanks to Kevin Durant.
Kevin Durant was at his very best as he came up with an incredible performance to help the Nets secure the win over the Knicks. The Nets talisman started his season in incredible form, but he looked on a different level altogether at the Barclays Center – as he put on a tally of 29 points, 12 rebounds, and 12 assists to record his best performance of the 2022/23 NBA season so far.
Durant looked committed and fresh after the sacking of head coach Steve Nash with whom Durant had an infamous fallout over the summer and looked even more committed to the cause as he congratulated new head coach Jacque Vaughn after the game. When Vaughn entered the locker room following the win, Durant raised a toast and congratulated Vaughn for the result.
The clip has since went viral on social media platforms in no time, and it was not long before the analysts gave their thoughts on it – the latest of whom has been Vince Carter.
The NBA legend spoke on Durant being committed to the new Nets head coach.
When asked about his thoughts on Durant’s performance, Carter said that he feels like Durant is committed to his new head coach. “Kevin Durant – he’s committed, and he’s bought in into his new coach. Carter also spoke about Durant being the exemplary leader of the Nets roster, and having to “sacrifice” himself for the betterment of the team – for the Nets to win the Conference.
Durant recently overtook Carter on the all time point rankings in the NBA, and his idol’s backing will certainly motivate the Easy Money Sniper as he hopes to keep his form going.
