NEW YORK (United States) – The verbal war between Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant and Taiwanese entrepreneur and philanthropist with Canadian citizenship Joe Tsai, co-founder of the Alibaba group and owner of the franchise.

The answer to the ultimatum
Two-time NBA champion with the Golden State Warriors, Durant had specified that he no longer believed in the validity of the choices of the duo at the helm, which is why he had specified “either me or them “. The ultimatum was dismissed with a tweet from Tsai: “Our front office and technical staff have all my support. The decisions we make will be in the sole interest of the Brooklyn Nets“. The basketball player had expressed his discontent after the elimination of the Nets in the first round of the playoffs, by the Boston Celtics. Previously Brooklyn had closed the regular season with a record of 44-38, after having sold the other superstar James Harden to the Philadelphia 76ers and having done without Kyrie Irving on many occasions due to his unvaccinated status for Covid.
