When <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.offshoresportsbooks.com\/news\/kevin-durant-wall-street-journal-interview\/\">Kevin Durant<\/a> made his statement about the Nets being cooler than the Knicks, he wasn&#8217;t talking about New Yorkers. He was talking about young NBA players around the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you look at things from that\nperspective, he might just have a valid point. Why would any young player\nthinks the Knicks were the better franchise? Most of the players in the league\nnow we&#8217;re too young to remember when the Knicks were good. They have made a few\nplayoff appearances but for the most part they&#8217;ve been bad for several decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"knicks-ownership-doesnt-help\">Knicks Ownership Doesn&#8217;t Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The one thing that the Knicks do not have going for them is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/features\/2019-07-26\/is-the-knicks-james-dolan-the-worst-owner-in-professional-sports\">owner James Dolan<\/a>. HIs mismanagement of the Knicks brand has directly benefited the Brooklyn Nets. Since leaving New Jersey, the Nets have been able to benefit from New York&#8217;s growing displeasure with the Knicks owner. To say he is one of the most disliked figures in professional sports is a massive understatement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the free agency period\nleading up to Kevin Durant&#8217;s decision, his arrogance was on full display. From\ngetting into it with a fan who said he should sell the team to the strange\ninterviews, he was a mess. The fact that he basically claimed that he had been\ngiven assurances that stars were coming to play for his team seems more absurd\nevery time the subject gets revisited. He obviously had not type of assurances.\nHe was making it up and his lack of self awareness led him to believe that\nstars would simply chose his franchise because of geographical location. In\nstepped the Brooklyn Nets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Brooklyn Nets Are Younger and\nMore in Style<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Brooklyn Nets seem to have a\nlot more going for them than the Knicks these days. Landing Kevin Durant and\nKyrie Irving has to be the ultimate slap in the face. It would be like the New\nYork Giants getting two superstar NFL players to choose the Jets over them. As\nimpossible as that would seem, at least the Jets have been in town almost as\nlong as the Giants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Nets are the new kids on the\nblock and seems like they&#8217;ve already taken up a big piece of real estate. There\nis very little the Knicks can do about what&#8217;s happening. They might actually be\nworse than they were last year and that was really bad. Meanwhile the Nets are\non an upward trajectory that shows no signs of slowing down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Younger Generation Could Be\nSwayed<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The strangle hold the Knicks enjoy\nover the metropolitan New York area could only be challenged in one way. The\nBrooklyn Nets would have to win an NBA championship. If that happens, there\nwould be an entire generation of New Yorkers that have no reason to have any\naffiliation to the Knicks. Brooklyn isn&#8217;t Manhattan but if all of New England\ncan claim the Patriots, you&#8217;ll have to forgive people in Manhattan, Queens and\nthe Bronx for switching allegiances after all the Knicks franchise has put\ntheir adoring fans through.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to Kevin Durant, the New York Knicks are not as cool as the Brooklyn Nets to young NBA players and he might just have a valid point.
