The 36-year-old Dragic said that the focus of the Nets' stars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving was not on the team but on themselves individually.

"I played with some stars, like Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, and I have to admit that it was quite difficult," said Dragic.

"The focus was not the team, but more the individual performances of the individuals," added the Slovenian.

Dragic who spent one season with the Nets last year averaged 7.3 points, 4.8 assists, and 3.2 rebounds in 16 games.
