Currently with the Phoenix Suns, Kevin Durant has publicly expressed his opinion regarding a tribute video from his previous team, the Brooklyn Nets. This Wednesday night marks Durant’s first game back in Brooklyn since his departure to the Suns in a significant trade deal last February, just before the NBA trade deadline.
Whether the Nets should present Durant with a tribute video has sparked debate among fans on social media. Durant, known for his active presence on X, a social media platform formerly known as Twitter, entered the discussion on Sunday, revealing his stance on the issue.

He explicitly stated his preference against receiving a tribute video from the Nets. Responding to a fan’s comment that the Nets might consider such a video for public relations purposes, Durant requested, “please don’t, the night will be better without it.”
The conversation continued, with a Nets supporter inquiring about the potential content of a tribute video for Durant, given his challenging time with the team. This period, often referred to as “wasted years” due to the team’s struggles, was something Durant acknowledged.
Durant’s stint with the Nets was overshadowed by playoff disappointments and internal strife, especially given the high expectations set for the trio of Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden, which ultimately did not yield the desired results.
