Kyrie Irving’s injury STOPPED Kevin Durant from joining Dallas

“Oh yeah. 100 percent,” said Cook. “I know their relationship, you know? I know their relationship. I think Dallas had a very good chance of getting him.”

It would’ve been the second iteration of the Kevin Durant-Kyrie Irving pairing. The two players were co-stars with the Brooklyn Nets for three seasons. They have unfinished business together. As teammates, the farthest they’ve been to was the second round of the playoffs.

Gilbert Arenas believes Kevin Durant and other star veterans will play at the 2028 Olympics

During the 2024 Paris Olympics, Team USA showed the other nations why they have the best basketball talent. Kevin Durant, LeBron James and Steph Curry headlined the men’s national basketball team and led them to a gold medal finish.

At that time, they were already considered some of the oldest players in the basketball world. Despite that, they did not disappoint and were important to the team’s success.

For the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, there are questions and speculations about which players will represent the country in basketball. The discussion usually leads to the potential participation of the three veteran stars.

Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas predicts that Durant, James and Curry will suit up for Team USA. Especially since LA will host the event.

“Steph, KD, and Bron still gon’ be out there in their 40s winning gold in the 2028 Olympics like it’s the local U50 League

They gon’ be running pick-and-rolls with icy hot patches on they backs, halftime adjustments gonna be physical therapy sessions. Team USA trainers better pack more Bengay than basketballs

” Arenas posted on X.

Arenas said that the stars won’t allow Team USA to have a difficult time in the next Olympics.
