Kevin Durant can’t wait to be coached by Steve Nash that has been appointed as head coach of the Brooklyn Nets.

Per ESPN, Durant is “excited” about the opportunity to be coached by the former two-time league MVP.

“His insight for the game, his communication, how he communicates the game of basketball is definitely going to help me as a player develop and it’s going to help the rest of the team,” Durant said.

“Every time I’m in the gym with him, I was always like a sponge,” Durant said. “I’m looking forward to this man. I always feel like I’m a student of the game. Somebody who has experienced so much and played in different eras, I’m looking forward to him teaching me some more things about it as well.”
