Shams also reiterated that a Nets team meeting following the blowout loss to the Grizzlies was the beginning of the end. “And as time wore on, people started to see it wear on Kenny Atkinson. There was a big blow up team meeting, the Wednesday before he was fired. There was a big big team meeting —lot of emotions. And in that team meeting, Kevin Durant, as I reported, as I was told, said these weren’t championship type habits we want to build here in Brooklyn. And I think that message rang true throughout the whole organization. Any time Kevin Durant is going to speak up in a team meeting, everyone’s going to listen. “You match all those factors in and Sean Marks let Kenny Atkinson know what time it was.”
