<p><strong>Kevin Durant</strong> is one of the greatest players in the history of the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong>.</a> However, the<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/brooklyn-nets-t99901" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brooklyn Nets’</a> </strong>star has also made a name for himself for being one of the biggest trash-talkers in the league, especially when his legacy is questioned.</p>
<p>Durant drew a lot of criticism for his decision to leave the <strong>Oklahoma City Thunder</strong> and join the <strong>Golden State Warriors</strong> in 2016 and ever since, he embraced that role as the NBA’s villain. He’ll speak his mind whether you like it or not.</p>
<p>That’s why we should all listen to him whenever he’s in front of a mic. Nobody’s safe from Durant’s jabs, especially not the <strong>New York Knicks</strong>, the team he was reportedly going to sign with, and that now happens to be their city rivals.</p>

<h2>Kevin Durant Throws Shade At The New York Knicks</h2>
<p><strong>New Orleans Pelicans’ JJ Redick </strong>had Durant on his podcast yesterday and, needless to say, the 2-time Finals MVP shared his thoughts with no filter regarding many subjects, one of them being the current state of the Knickerbockers, going as far as to claim <strong>that the city is looking for a team to support right now:</strong></p>

<p><em>“We’ve got a new, fresh team with me,<strong>Kyrie Irving,DeAndre Jordan, Spencer Dinwiddie,</strong> a lot of guys on our team that our veterans. I’m excited. It should be a fun time. <strong>New York basketball is definitely looking for a team to support.</strong> We’re going to come out there and play hard every single night and play exciting basketball,”</em> Durant said.</p>

<p>That’s a bit of a bold statement considering that, even though the Knicks hadn’t won a Championship in decades, they’re still <strong>one of the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/the-most-valuable-nba-teams-how-much-are-they-worth-20200803-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">most lucrative franchises</a> in sports and one of the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/The-25-NBA-teams-with-most-fans-20200423-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA teams with the most fans.</a></strong></p>
<h2>Durant Didn’t Want To Save The Knicks</h2>
<p>For months, it was believed that the New York Knicks <strong>were Kevin Durant’s preferred destination in free agency.</strong> He had enterprises and properties in the area, plus his legacy would have gotten a major boost if he turned MSG into a playoff arena again. However, he just didn’t care about that:</p>
<p><em><strong>“I didn’t want to be the savior of the Knicks or New York. I didn’t care about being the king of New York. </strong>That never really moved me. I didn’t care about being on Broadway. I just wanted to play ball and go to the crib and chill. And that’s what Brooklyn embodied. There’s no show when you come to our games. No Madison Square mecca, all of that s–t. We just gonna hoop and build something new in Brooklyn,”</em> Durant concluded.</p>
<p><span></span> </p>

<div id="relatedNews-1">   </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>KD and Kyrie Irving can certainly build something special with the Nets. They’re talented enough to bring an NBA Championship back to New York City. <strong>Sadly, not to the team most New Yorkers would like.</strong></p>

<p>Apparel, jersey sells, TV rights, you name it. These guys really know how to make money. In fact, NBA franchises’values continue to rise on a yearly basis. Nowadays, you’ll need around <strong>$2.12 billion</strong> to buy an NBA team, according to <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/kurtbadenhausen/2020/02/11/nba-team-values-2020-lakers-and-warriors-join-knicks-in-rarefied-4-billion-club/#35fd67832032" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Forbes.</a></p>
<p>And, contrary to what people may think, the NBA’s richest teams aren’t always the most successful. Apparently, the value of an NBA franchise<strong> has a lot to do with the market they’re located into</strong>, as well as their historical relevance.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Value: </strong>$2.4Billion<br> The <strong>Dallas Mavericks</strong> are known around the league for being a top-notch organization. Mark Cuban makes sure to take well care of all their employees, from the maintenance crew to the team’s superstar.</p>
<p>Cuban being one of the world’s most successful businessmen, it’s not unusual to see the Mavericks’ value continue to grow over the years. It’s crazy to think that he bought them in 200 <strong>for just $285 million.</strong></p>
<h2>8. Houston Rockets</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200803_BUS_163354_james_harden_russell_westbrook_rockets.jpg_1030179834_daf762b2.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   The Rockets were born in San Diego. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Value: </strong>$2.48Billion<br> Back in the day, the <strong>Houston Rockets</strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/how-many-nba-teams-are-located-in-texas-20200723-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">had to relocate</a> from San Diego to Houston as they were sinking in debt and struggling to develop a fanbase. Now, they’re the 8th most valuable NBA team. Funny how life goes.</p>
<p>The Rockets haven’t won an NBA championship since 1995 but have now become perennial title contenders. They also have a huge fanbase in Asia thanks to <strong>Yao Ming’s</strong> tenure with the team.</p>
<h2>7. Brooklyn Nets</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:600,h:333" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200803_BUS_163354_kyrie_irving_nets.jpg_1030179834_bc1489ba.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   The Nets relocated to Brooklyn in 2012. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Value: </strong>$2.5Billion<br> <strong>The Brooklyn Nets </strong>are doing an outstanding job at building a world-classorganization from top to bottom. They’re becoming a prime destination for the best free agents in the league, given the fact that they have the perks of New York City on a team that can actually compete.</p>
<p>The Nets are gathering more fans as days goes by and they hope to challenge the Knicks for the supremacy of the city some years from now. Team owner<strong> Joseph Tsai</strong> has invested a lot of money but it’s definitely paid off, with <a href="https://www.nba.com/players/kyrie/irving/202681" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kyrie Irving</a> and Kevin Durant jumping on board.</p>
<h2>6. Los Angeles Clippers</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

(Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Value:</strong> $2.6Billion<br> <strong>Steve Ballmer</strong> had a lot of work to do when he first bought the <strong>Los Angeles Clippers.</strong> The team was coming off a huge controversy with former owner<strong> Donald Sterling</strong>, who was handed a lifetime ban from the NBA due to some racist comments towards <strong>Magic Johnson.</strong></p>
<p>The Clippers have done a great job of building a new winning identity. They’ve also purchased their own arena to stop sharing the Staples Center with the Lakers and build a fanbase of their own. <strong>They’re now one of the league’s finest organizations after just 6 years.</strong></p>
<h2>5. Boston Celtics</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Value:</strong> $3.1Billion<br> <strong>The Boston Celtics </strong>have always been a synonym to winning. They don’t tolerate failure and are constantly finding ways to build a competitive squad, and that’s why they have one of the biggest fanbases in the world.</p>
<p>Danny Ainge has done a great job of putting together this team and keeping the Celtics’ brand rising high <strong>in one of the nation’s biggest sports town. </strong>They haven’t made it to the Finals in over a decade, though.</p>

They didn’t win many games and fans weren’t that sold on the team but it all changed when a guy called <strong>Michael Jordan </strong>showed up in the mid-’80s.</p>
<p>Jordan made the Bulls the ultimate global brand. People from all across the globe rooted for the greatest player ever as <strong>they won <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/The-30-best-teams-in-NBA-history-20200701-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">6 championships</a> over 8 years. </strong>They haven’t found that kind of success latelybut they continue to be one of the NBA’s richest teams thanks to Jordan.</p>

<p><strong>Value: </strong>$4.3Billion<br> The <strong>Golden State Warriors</strong> were far from the best or more popular team in the world 10 years ago. Now, they’re the third most valuable NBA franchise after building the strongest dynasty in basketball since <strong>Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant’s Lakers.</strong></p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.nba.com/warriors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Warriors</a>‘ fanbase grew astronomically over the past couple of years as the team went on to make it to 5 consecutive NBA Finals and win 3 NBA championships.<strong> Stephen Curry &amp; Klay Thompson</strong>, A.K.A<em> ‘The Splash Brothers</em>‘ should get most of the credit for this.</p>
<h2>2. Los Angeles Lakers</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Value:</strong> $4.4Billion<br> <strong>The Los Angeles Lakers </strong>have always been near the top of the most valuable NBA teams and for good reason. They’re the second-winningest team in NBA history with 16 rings and they’ve had the most basketball legends on their roster. Just the creamof the crop gets to wearthe purple and gold.</p>
<p>Los Angeles is a huge market and the Lakers’ legendary teams made them millions of fans all around the world. And now that <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/LeBron-James-and-his-Guinness-World-Records-20200714-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a> and Anthony Davis</strong> are on board, it’s just a matter of time before they become the richest team in the NBA.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Value: </strong>$4.6Billion<br> <strong>The New York Knicks </strong>haven’t won the NBA championship since 1973. Moreover, they haven’t even made the playoffs since 2013 or the Finals since 1999. James Dolan’s management has been questionable, to say the least; yet they continue to be the most valuable team in the NBA.</p>
<p>The <strong>Madison Square Garden</strong> is basketball’s mecca. Every player on earth dreams about playing in the Big Apple, regardless of is the team is competitive or not. Hopefully, they’ll turn the franchise around and finally give their fans a reason to be excited about the season.</p>
