Back during the 2018-19 NBA All-Star Weekend in Charlotte, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving had a little impromptu meeting in the bowels of Spectrum Arena that had fans wondering about their basketball futures and if they'd soon be teaming up to dominate the league for years to come.
It was a brief chat filled with whispers, laughs, and, well, hope for some fanbases (hello, Knicks fans!) who would have loved nothing more than to welcome them to their team.
It felt like something special was going to happen soon.
