Enes Kanter has been trolling Kyrie Irving since the big man inked a deal with the Boston Celtics. He wears Irving’s number and has mocked the comments he made in his Nike commercial about staying in Boston long-term.

But when it comes to Irving’s new teammate, Kevin Durant, Kanter takes a different approach, having previously played with the Brooklyn Nets forward while the two were in Oklahoma City.

So while he’s quick to appease the Boston fanbase by poking at the Nets’ star point guard, he still wants to show support to his old teammate. Believe it or not, the Celtics center found a way to both compliment Durant and take another jab at Irving all in one breath when appearing on “The Full 48” podcast with Howard Beck.

I just want [Durant] to, you know, I hope he recovers 100% and comes back healthy. But I think it’s gonna be good for him because Kyrie needs a big brother. Yeah, I think Kyrie needs a big brother and I think KD’s that guy. Obviously, he wanted to be in New York, now Brooklyn. I think he’s happy. So I think if they get it right they can definitely be up there with us.

Kanter continued, keeping the focus on the next step in Durant’s career.

I’m very happy for him. he just wanted to do his own thing. He wants to be the main guy. I feel like he doesn’t wanna be [on] anybody [else’s] team. I feel like he wants to be the main guy and build a team around him. I think Brooklyn is that team.

If this talk keeps up, Irving could turn to the pick-and-roll to target Kanter a fair amount when the Nets and Celtics face off in November.
