The Irving's comment to Nash that destroyed the team
Brooklyn Nets superstars Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant handpicked Steve Nash to replace Kenny Atkinson to coach their team in 2020.
Two seasons later during the summer of 2022, Durant shocked the NBA world when he asked team owner Joe Tsai to fire the first-time head coach or trade him.Durant's call to fire Nash may not even be the most shocking incident between the coach and the Nets duo. Olden Polynice, on «The Odd Couple» podcast, revealed a stunning story about why both superstars have no respect for the former two-time MVP.
One of the reasons why there are issues between him [Nash] and Kyrie Irving was because of a statement he made during a party at Steve Nash's house. In front of everybody, Kyrie said, ‘You need to give those MVP trophies back to Kobe [Bryant] because you didn't deserve them.' To me, that was the beginning of the end for the Nets.
Kyrie Irving is a huge Kobe Bryant fan, so it's completely understandable why he would stand up for his idol. Saying it, however, to Steve Nash in front of everyone at the head coach's party was just disrespectful.
