Kevin Durant is the kind of player that lets his play do the talking, He's not the "ra-ra" type to give fiery pregame speeches nor is he known to get in his teammates' faces for making a mistake.
I’m an employee and one of the guys on the team. Some moments I’m out in front, some moments I’m not. The main message comes from the coach imo https://t.co/EqxQYrkhQq

So, of course on the heels of a heroic playoff performance from his former teammate, Steph Curry, the Durant haters were out challenging his leadership capabilities.

The Brooklyn Nets superstar isn't afraid to mix it up with detractors on Twitter by setting the record straight.
One of the more interesting tidbits from Durant came when he mentioned that the team's coaches and assistant coaches were the primary source of leadership in his estimation.
Im kinda jaded with all this, I thought your play in the court dictates the narrative but I didn’t realize that u have to sell your play to the media as well as your personality for a narrative to really hit https://t.co/E9nVymFrNm

That shouldn't necessarily be a slight to Steve Nash, but questions are mounting about his ability to reel in an non-committal Kyrie Irving and run an offense that maximizes his roster's talent and a defense that masks the team's deficiencies.
Only time will tell if Durant or Nash will spearhead a Brooklyn title push, but the more success Golden State and Curry have, the more critics will attack Durant and the Nets.
