Kevin Durant was one of the biggest prizes in free agencdy during the summer of 2019. Despite the fact that he was coming off an achilles injury suffered in the NBA Finals and would miss the entirety of the ’19–20 season, Durant signed a four-year, $164 million deal with the Nets.
Plenty of other teams would have been happy to give Durant a similar deal, but he wanted to play in New York. In attempt to draw him to the Knicks, the organization reached out to the Wu-Tang Clan and offered them a bunch of money to record an original song and make a video appealing to Durant to play at Madison Square Garden.
