Kevin Durant is trying to win his 3rd NBA championship this season, carrying the Brooklyn Nets in a stacked Eastern Conference. The former NBA MVP is trying to win it all after joining this team in the summer of 2019. Even though they entered the season as championship favorites, things haven’t played in their favor, and they’re struggling as the 10th seed now.
They’re ready to go through the play-in tournament to get to the postseason in their attempt to win the NBA championship. It won’t be an easy route, but the Nets are ready to go through fire to lift the Larry O’Brien trophy.
Durant knows what it feels like to be a champion and wants to relive old glories. He’s well aware that to become a champion, people must feel and act like it. While talking to reporters, the 2x NBA champion explained what it takes to be a champion.
“I’ve been saying this the whole year like each day matters like the next day matters, you know like, what we got in front of us, we could talk about expectations and when you see this team on the paper, I always said this, but everyday matters. You wanna be a champion, every second that’s your step on the floor, not just when you play a good team or playoffs coming up, I think being a champion is in the habits, the work ethic, the care that you have for the game, you know.”
"You want to be a champion? Every second that you step on the floor matters. Being a champion is in the habits and the work ethic, the care that you have for the game."

Durant and the Nets face a big challenge these upcoming weeks. They need to finish the regular season on a strong note and start the playoffs ready for war. They’ll face a top seed, meaning they’ll start their journey with a lot of pressure. Kyrie Irving has stated they are ready to face anybody and KD is ready to become a three-time champion, even if that means facing a huge rival from the very beginning.
