\n This week, the New York Jets welcomed a new high-profile player, Davante Adams, following his trade from the Las Vegas Raiders. A key topic of conversation is how Adams will manage the intense scrutiny from the media in the New York area.\n <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n Having experienced the New York media firsthand, Kevin Durant, who spent almost three seasons with the Brooklyn Nets, shared his insights during a discussion with Kay Adams on the Thursday episode of Up & Adams<\/em>. When asked about how Adams should approach dealing with the NYC media, Durant offered simple yet profound advice: focus on winning, and the public will support you.\n <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n Durant explained, “People outside of New York often speculate about the challenges of the New York market. However, once you’re here, it’s not as daunting as it seems. Like anywhere else, poor performance might draw criticism, but victories make you beloved. So the goal is clear: just win. If you show dedication and perform well on the field, the fans will definitely appreciate it.”\n <\/p>\n

\n Traditionally, the New York media has been notorious for its harsh critique of underperforming athletes. Durant’s comments suggest that while this remains true, the experience is akin to other markets, albeit with a unique intensity that only New York offers, something Adams will need to adapt to.\n <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n With the addition of Adams and Aaron Rodgers, there are high expectations for the Jets this season, beginning with their upcoming game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.\n <\/p>\n
