Blake Griffin’s arrival in Brooklyn was met with mixed reactions from the NBA community. While many lamented at the idea of an already powerful superteam getting even better, others showed excitement and intrigue as to what the team would look like.

With Griff now officially a part of the squad, he revealed how he ended up signing with them amid a market that featured plenty of other contenders. Apparently, Kevin Durant was his biggest recruiter.

Blake Griffin says KD was the biggest recruiter. Adds Steve Nash told him his role is to be a short-roller, facilitate, set screen and pop, basically just fill all the gaps. #Nets

It really should be no surprise that KD was the biggest advocate for recruiting Blake. In the past, he has shown how willing he is to help build a superteam. Some fans, of course, see it as a sign of weakness.

Of course. Can’t beat Lebron without several hall of famers.

So KD wanted to win a title away from GS so that he could get all the credit and then recruits Harden and Blake to a team already containing him and Kyrie? Makes zero sense. This title will be the easiest one to win for a long long time

KD is such a chump…much worse than what LeBron did going to Miami

No matter your feeling son Durant or the new-look Nets, they’re going to be a threat for years to come. And if any team wangs any hope of knocking them out in the playoffs, they will likely have to build a super squad for themselves.
