In an appearance on the Knuckleheads podcast, the Brooklyn Nets newcomer Kevin Durant talked on the loyalty of the New York Knicks fans:

“This team thing, Lakers, Knicks, are just staples in our game. The love for those teams has gone 40, 50, 60 years. It’s in their blood. It’s crossed generations, so we’re not expecting to convert Knicks fans, we just want to convert people who have probably never watched basketball before. They come in and see something new and enjoy your show. So, new basketball fans, I’m sure they’re the ones we’re going to try and turn into Nets fans,” Durant said.
