Kevin Durant made his first appearance as a Phoenix Suns fan, excited about the goal of winning the NBA

Despite being traded to the Phoenix Suns for nearly 10 days, it was not until today that Kevin Durant officially appeared in the new jersey of the Arizona state team. Even though it was just a press conference due to KD still not recovering from injury, fans were still interested in Durant's sharing about both the old team and the new team.

Phoenix Suns was quite psychological when changing the format of the press conference, abandoning the traditional formula (usually held in the press room or in the training facility), the Kevin Durant debut took place right in the middle of the FootPrint arena. , the home ground of the Suns.

Many spectators came to see Kevin Durant "in skin, in flesh" for the first time in Phoenix's uniform.

The team paid a not-so-cheap price for Durant, in exchange for Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder, 4 first-round picks and a right to change picks. But this is what the Suns are willing to spend in the hope of immediately turning the 2022-23 season around, lowering the goal of competing for the championship.

“I think here we have enough pieces to be successful, there are players who have been through enough, gone deep and gone far enough. So we have half of the winning formula, which is understanding what it takes to win.

The rest is to do our best on the field and, importantly, to do it together in a united and effective way. I'm looking forward to starting training and playing with my new teammates here," Kevin Durant said of the Phoenix Suns, which he calls home in the near future.

The morale of the whole Suns team is very high even though Durant has not been able to play. When asked about a return date, Kevin said he is unsure but hopes to be able to play after the All-Star break.

Of course, everyone's spirit will be good if a high-class player like KD joins the squad. This is also the image that appeared at the Brooklyn Nets when they completed the superstar duo Kevin Durant - Kyrie Irving.

The excitement was even higher when the team brought in more James Harden. However, in the end, everyone knows, the coach was fired, the internal team was in turmoil, leading to a cumbersome farewell of all three superstars when they only played together for less than 20 matches.

Unable to avoid questions related to the old team, Kevin Durant frankly shared with reporters and thousands of fans present at FootPrint Center about the reason why Brooklyn Nets broke up:

Durant must have regretted the things he didn't do at the Brooklyn Nets. But in return, KD is always grateful because this is a team that is willing to give him a big contract despite having just suffered an Achilles injury.

Now he will be more than happy to once again aim for the ability to compete for the championship. Only time is not on the side of KD and the Phoenix Suns.

It is only about 8 weeks from now until the Playoffs start, which is also a short run for Kevin Durant to build a bond with his new teammates.
