An emotional Kevin Durant — being introduced to his new team — choked up when asked about his old one.

His voice cracked when he spoke about his time with the Nets and why things didn’t work out in Brooklyn.

The Nets assembled a superteam of Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden. Titles seemed a fait accompli. But fate flipped the script as the trio logged just 16 games together due to injuries and absences.

“I think when you see James, Kyrie, myself, it was amazing basketball for 17 games though,” Durant said with a rueful grimace during Thursday’s introduction in Phoenix. “In order for you to win a championship and be a great team, you just need more time on the floor. It’s another story about why we didn’t get on the floor together, but we just didn’t get enough time on the floor.”
