Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving hasn’t yet received the COVID-19 vaccine, which is one of the biggest stories around the NBA as training camp gets underway. The way things stand right now, Irving won’t be able to play home games this season due to New York’s vaccine rules. Irving asked for privacy on the matter […]

Fact: Kevin Durant is not not good. Also fact: He will be in MVP form once again for the Brooklyn Nets this upcoming season. Durant has been among the NBA’s top five players for years now. Last season, he almost singlehandedly led the Nets to the Eastern Conference Finals, with his running mates James Harden […]

LeBron James is fully aware that Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving has found himself in the headlines these days because of his adamant rejection of the COVID-19 vaccine. Because of this, he was forced to skip the Nets’ media day for the second straight year. Irving, however, told reporters in a virtual press conference that […]

It’s no secret that Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant has had his fair share of spats with the media. There have been numerous times when he didn’t appreciate the way he’s being portrayed, especially during his stint with the Golden State Warriors. But entering his 15th season, Durant appears to be handling things more maturely, […]

This is a tough one. Before you read what I came up with, take a moment to ask what you might have come up with here. How on earth could these Nets truly surprise us? If they were all healthy and started gunning for 70 wins would that be a shock? (Honestly, I’m confident they […]

The name of the game this season for the Brooklyn Nets is going to be “make it to the playoffs with a healthy roster.” As such, I expect Steve Nash to use a deep, ten player rotation. It’s difficult to carve out true “breakout” candidates on a team whose top-end talent has all been established […]

Despite an early playoff exit last year, Kevin Durant still proved to everyone that he makes a case to be the best player in the world. After missing an entire season due to a torn achilles’ tendon injury, he displayed one of the best injury comebacks in history. Unfortunately with injuries hitting the Nets, KD […]

The Brooklyn Nets are the heavy favorites to take home the Larry O’Brien Trophy this season. But early on, the biggest thing standing between the Nets and the NBA title is COVID-19 vaccination. Not you, Milwaukee Bucks. Sorry. It’s already widely known that Nets guard Kyrie Irving rejects vaccination the way wise people reject pineapples […]

James Harden could very well become a free agent next season, especially since he hasn’t reached a contract extension yet with the Brooklyn Nets. However, it doesn’t look like he’s going anywhere any time soon. While Harden is unlikely to sign an extension with the Nets before the October 18 deadline–since he is poised to […]

The Brooklyn Nets just signed on all-time shooting legend Kyle Korver to join their team as an assistant coach in August. It hasn’t taken long for him to make an impact on the roster. The sharpshooter is obviously going to put in the work with the the wings on the team to improve their outside […]

As of today, the Brooklyn Nets are the favorites to win the NBA championship. But who poses the biggest threat to their supposed supremacy? We’re going to look at a handful of teams who might be able to go toe-to-toe with the Big Three of Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving. Assuming Irving can […]

Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving is making all the NBA headlines for his will-he, won’t-he Covid-19 vaccination saga. Given the city mandate in Brooklyn, he would be barred from playing in any home games should he refuse to take the shot. With the Nets seen as one of the biggest favorites for the NBA championship, […]

Kyrie Irving has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons, and it’s creating a PR nightmare for the Brooklyn Nets. In fact, according to the latest rumors, it has even affected how Irving is valued and perceived around the NBA. As Chris Mannix of Yahoo Sports indicated in his The Crossover NBA Show podcast, […]

There are few more violent fouls in the history of the NBA than that of Metta World Peace’s infamous elbow on the side of James Harden’s head during the 2012 NBA Playoffs. Then with the Los Angeles Lakers, MWP (now known as Metta Sandiford-Artest) delivered one of the most brutal elbows you’ll ever see on […]

Brooklyn Nets headlines are being dominated by Kyrie Irving’s vaccination status, the NBA’s biggest bombshell story of the season so far. However, there are obviously other big storylines surrounding the 2021-22 title favorite, including another one involving Irving. That would be contract extensions. Kevin Durant has already signed his extension. Will the Big Three stay together […]

NBA spokesman Mike Bass announced Wednesday that “any player who elects not to comply with local vaccination mandates will not be paid for games that he misses.” New York and San Francisco have local COVID-19 vaccine requirements for Brooklyn Nets, New York Knicks and Golden State Warriors players to participate in home games. The Knicks are […]

The Brooklyn Nets are entering this season in a great place, talent-wise. They kept their big three together and are hoping that they will all sign long-term extensions with the franchise. This is the third season for both Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, while this will be the first full season for James Harden. The […]

Los Angeles Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar doubled down on his criticisms of players who are refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine. He also hit back at Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving, who has been at the forefront of creating “confusion” about vaccination. Recently, Abdul-Jabbar slammed those players pushing their anti-vaccine stance in the NBA, noting […]

The Nets had one goal a season ago, which was to stay healthy so they can beat the brakes off everyone else. They couldn’t do it. A pair of injuries to James Harden and Kyrie Irving derailed their title aspirations. The Milwaukee Bucks would not have survived if either Nets’ guard was able to go. […]

After a crazy past few months, Brooklyn Nets star LaMarcus Aldridge recently opened up about that horrifying April evening that forced him to go into early retirement. Talking with the media on Monday, the 36-year-old spoke about his traumatic episode dealing with certain cardiac issues that he had encountered. According to Aldridge, that night when the […]

Brooklyn Nets star James Harden has repeatedly proclaimed that it would be “scary hours” for the rest of the NBA now that he, Kevin Durant, and Kyrie Irving are all finally healthy. While it’s unclear if Harden and Durant are following Irving’s lead in terms of rejecting COVID-19 vaccination, which would be a huge problem […]

The issue of the COVID-19 vaccine has been as hot as ever in and around the NBA of late. Bradley Beal and Kyrie Irving have been identified as two prominent players that are standing against the administration of the vaccine. As it turns out, however, Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is not on the same […]

The Brooklyn Nets held Media Day on Monday. The biggest story surrounding the team at this time is whether or not Kyrie Irving is vaccinated and if he’ll be eligible to play in Brooklyn’s 41 regular-season home games. Everything else sort of pales in comparison at this point. We came into Media Day wondering if […]

A rather interesting character somehow snuck into the Brooklyn Nets Media Day on Monday and had a couple of interesting questions for Kevin Durant. David Letterman hilariously asked KD a few things and the Nets superstar went right along with it. Take a look: David Letterman: “Why people call you KD?” Kevin Durant: “My first […]

Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving wasn’t at Nets Media Day on Monday because of health and safety protocols, but he did speak to the media on a video call. Irving, obviously, was asked about his COVID-19 vaccination status amid the reports of him being unvaccinated and an explosive Rolling Stone report on unvaxxed players. The […]

After forming their superstar team last year and still coming up short, the goals are clear for the Brooklyn Nets this year and it’s to get to the mountain top and win a title. On Monday, James Harden was asked about his own contract situation with the Nets, including a possible contract extension which most […]

Brooklyn Nets star James Harden suffered a hamstring injury during the first game of his team’s Conference Semifinals series against the Milwaukee Bucks last year,  forcing him to miss the next three games of the series and play through the injury in the final three games. It was a crushing blow to the Nets, who […]

With the start of the 2021-22 NBA season now less than a month away, Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving has held firm on his decision to not receive the COVID-19 vaccine, making him ineligible to play home games at Barclays Center due to New York City’s vaccine mandate. At the Nets’ Media Day, when asked […]

Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving will not be at Monday’s Media Day due to health and safety protocols, but he does plan on joining the team for training camp in San Diego, according to ESPN’s Zach Lowe and Brian Windhorst. Irving is reportedly not vaccinated for COVID-19, and he was a main subject of an […]

This situation went from zero to 60 in a hurry. You don’t have to be vaccinated to play in the NBA, but you do have to be vaccinated if you play for the Knicks or in Brooklyn. That would theoretically only leave road games for any Net who didn’t want a jab. So…is it possible […]

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving has been making headlines of late for his reluctance to get the COVID-19 vaccine. This hesitance was cause for some alarm during his recent trip to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in southwestern South Dakota. The Nets star was at the reservation to solidify his ties with the Standing Rock […]

Kyrie Irving has made his stance clear – he’s not going to get the COVID-19 vaccine. At this point in time, it seems as though his position isn’t going to change anytime soon. That could pose a huge problem for the Brooklyn Nets. The buzz around non-vaccinated NBA players and the consequences that their decisions […]

It’s common knowledge at this point that Kyrie Irving’s mind works on a different level than us. However, this newest revelation about the Brooklyn Nets guard’s interests is completely insane. The Rolling Stone recently published a piece about the state of vaccination in the NBA, and unsurprisingly, Irving is featured in it. The article revealed […]

Kevin Durant’s Brooklyn Nets and LeBron James’ Los Angeles Lakers are considered as the top two favorites to win the crown in 2021-22. The Denver Nuggets aren’t exactly seen as a top contender, especially with Jamal Murray still nursing an injury ahead of the start of the new season. Well, don’t tell Nikola Jokic that. […]

The Brooklyn Nets were one of the many teams linked to never-ending Ben Simmons trade rumors recently. It was Stephen A. Smith last week, who suggested that the Nets would have strongly considered swapping Kyrie Irving for the former first overall pick out of Australia, if not for Kevin Durant putting his foot down. So […]

The best player in the world plays for the Brooklyn Nets. Kevin Durant was recently ranked the league’s best player by both ESPN and Sports Illustrated.  James Harden cracked the top 10 and Kyrie Irving the top 20 of each list as well. So is this Nets team, currently the odds on favorites to win […]

As the start of the new season approaches, teams from around the league have been doing everything in their power to ensure that their players are administered with the COVID-19 vaccine. There’s no denying that this polarizing issue has been met with some opposition from in and around the NBA, but as it is, the […]

If you’re reading that headline and thinking to yourself, “Whoa whoa, Kevin Durant was the best player alive in 2017 or 2018 also,”, I think you may well have a point. But Durant did miss a full season with a severe Achilles injury since then. He has now regained (or finally gained depending on your […]

The Brooklyn Nets sent shockwaves across the NBA last season when they added more MVP caliber talent to their already star-heavy squad. Acquiring James Harden back in winter basically ensured they would have three of the top 15-20 players in the league. But do the Nets have so much offensive talent that they cannot maximize […]
