Fat Joe takes shot at Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving for picking Nets over Knicks

Add Fat Joe to the list of people who wish Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant signed with the New York Knicks instead of the Brooklyn Nets.

With each passing day, it seems more and more people are making it a point to share their opinion on Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving’s decision to sign with the Brooklyn Nets instead of the New York Knicks.

At first, everyone wanted to criticize the Knicks for the way things played out. Once they were introduced on Nets Media Day before the start of training camp, Durant and Irving made sure to point out their decision was based on the culture Kenny Atkinson and Sean Marks have developed in Brooklyn.

Apparently, there are still people who aren’t satisfied with Irving and Durant’s explanations.

On Tuesday, Kevin Garnett expressed why the two should’ve played for the Knicks.

While promoting his latest album with Sports Illustrated, New York native and longtime rapper Fat Joe criticized Irving and Durant:

You gotta understand, a lotta players — and I’ll call ’em out: Kyrie [and] Durant. They ain’t want that New York Knick pressure. They didn’t want that media attention. They didn’t want Sports Illustrated being right in the backyard. They didn’t want that, so they said, ‘All right, we want New York, but let’s do the lesser of the drama. Let’s go to Brooklyn.’

When asked a follow-up to confirm he was taking a shot at the Nets’ superstars, Fat Joe didn’t back down:

It definitely was and those are my good friends. They didn’t wanna be on the Knicks and be on the back of the Daily News, on the back of the Post. They didn’t want that smoke. They didn’t want it. I’m telling they ain’t want it. They ain’t wanna come to the Garden and now you gotta answer for things.

Durant caught wind of the video on Twitter. He didn’t seem bothered by the comments in the slightest bit.
