The Brooklyn Nets worked out at Overtime Elite in Atlanta. The Nets star Kevin Durant invested heavily in Overtime, the startup for high school sports. Durant took particular joy in seeing the glistening facilities Elite boasts.
“Yeah it’s new day, baby. There’s a lot of money put in put it in. It’s incredible,” Durant told The Post. “[This didn’t exist] when I was coming out 15, 16 years ago. So it’s a fairly new idea. For you to see it come to fruition so fast, man its incredible. Yeah, it’s a very proud moment to walk in here and see all this, because you see where the game is going now.
“There’s just so many different avenues for these kids to pursue their dream. This [stuff] is incredible. Coming out of high school you’ve got the option to come here and work on your game every day, still go to school if you want, but make some money. It’s a perfect opportunity.”
