Ben Simmons has been playing some pretty solid basketball for the Brooklyn Nets of late. The former Rookie of the Year appears to have found his groove with his new team this season, and there’s no denying that he has been integral to Brooklyn’s success thus far. One thing that remains constant, however, is Simmons’ […]

Gregg Popovich has coached a long list of legendary players during his 34-year NBA coaching career. Tim Duncan, David Robinson, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker and Kawhi Leonard headline the list. That group grew tenfold after Popovich took over for Mike Krzyzewski as head coach of the U.S. men’s national team in 2015. However, despite the […]

The Brooklyn Nets are the hottest team in the NBA right now. The fact that they’re in the midst of a 12-game winning streak is a clear testament to this fact. What also cannot be denied is that Kyrie Irving has been integral to Brooklyn’s recent surge. Throughout this stretch, Kyrie has put up averages […]

Both Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets have a big decision to make in the coming months.

At one […]

After losing just once in their last 17 games, there’s no denying that the Brooklyn Nets are looking like a well-oiled machine at the moment. At this point, it’s almost easy to forget about all the drama this team had to go through earlier in the season (and beyond) surrounding the one and only Kyrie […]

The Brooklyn Nets’ Monday night matchup with the tanking San Antonio Spurs was not at the top of the list of games to watch this season. Despite this, there was a noticeable buzz at Barclays Center as the Nets claimed their 12th straight win, a 139-103 blowout of San Antonio. A sellout Brooklyn crowd remained […]

Jacque Vaughn spent seven seasons on the Brooklyn Nets’ coaching staff before landing the head coaching job. During that time, Vaughn quietly became a significant voice behind the scenes, cultivating relationships with players and providing a high-IQ, defensive mind on the bench. The longtime assistant now finds himself leading one of the most dramatic turnarounds […]

Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets were looking to make it 12 straight wins on Monday as they hosted the San Antonio Spurs in the Barclays Center.

Brooklyn Nets guard Joe Harris is expected to return to the lineup Monday against the San Antonio Spurs.

Just two weeks into the NBA season, the Brooklyn Nets were left for dead. Fresh off a trade request from their franchise cornerstone in Kevin Durant, a 2-6 start had already seen head coach Steve Nash fired and All-Star guard Kyrie Irving suspended indefinitely. Despite a roster stacked with talent, the conversation had quickly shifted […]

Kyrie Irving is no stranger to fourth-quarter heroics during his 11-year NBA career.

However, the seven-time All-Star’s late-game brilliance has reached new levels during a […]

Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young came to the defense of Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving, whom he believes is greatly misunderstood.

Kyrie Irving is still a master in the art of breaking people’s ankles.

T.J. Warren’s effect on the Brooklyn Nets heading into this season was a bit of an unknown. Having missed the last two years due to a stress fracture in his left foot, it was unclear whether Warren’s microwave scoring ability would return at the same level after joining Brooklyn for the minimum. Ten games into […]

After facing a tough schedule that included bouts against the Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors in their first 10 games, Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero said it took until a late-November matchup against Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets to experience his “Welcome to the NBA” moment in an episode of “The […]

When Kevin Durant isn’t on the floor for the Brooklyn Nets balling out, he’s a huge avid follower of hip-hop music and spends a lot of time listening to it. That’s why it’s not really a surprise that KD just revealed his top-5 albums of 2022 with some familiar names on the list and a […]

James Harden’s rumored interest in going back to the Houston Rockets is apparently nothing new at all. The Brooklyn Nets already had an inkling about it even before they sent the former NBA MVP to the Philadelphia 76ers via a trade back in February 2022, per Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports. While Harden was frustrated […]

The Brooklyn Nets came into a two-game stretch against Milwaukee and Cleveland on a seven-game win streak.

There was something in the water of the Orlando NBA bubble in 2020 that had former Indiana Pacers forward TJ Warren morphing into a Hall of Fame quality player during that strange portion of the league’s history. That same form by TJ Warren showed up Monday night to help the Brooklyn Nets pull off a […]

When the 2022-23 season started, Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant was outside the Top 20 of the NBA’s all-time scoring record.

Entering Monday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Durant needed just 13 points to surpass […]

Kyrie Irving’s high-profile divorce from Nike was the talk of the town for a few days after the sportswear giant decided to cut ties with the Brooklyn Nets star.
