Kevin Durant believes Kyrie Irving is a better player than Allen Iverson but it doesn’t matter, Iverson has nothing but love him and is truly happy for his win.
Cameras for Ice Cube’s Big 3 league captured Iverson sharing why he was rooting for Golden State to get the win and exactly how he feels about Durant.
“I love Kyrie. I love Tyronn Lue. You know what I mean? But I wanted to see Durant win, because he ain’t never did it. I love his mama. I love everything he stands for. That’s the only reason I was going for Golden State. I wanted Durant to feel what I never got the chance to feel, and they deserve it.”
The Big 3 season begins June 25 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and runs for 10 weeks, culminating in the Big 3 Finals on Aug. 26 in Las Vegas. Games will air on FS1 and FOX Sports in primetime on Monday nights, starting June 26.
