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.

Everyone who knows about their NBA history knows that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is not afraid of taking a stand on important topics. That still holds true today, as the former Los Angeles Lakers center dropped some harsh words on NBA stars that refuse to get the COVID-19 vaccine. In an email interview with The Rolling Stone, […]

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 […]

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 […]

We may have a bit of clarity on the Brooklyn Nets’ vaccination hold-out situation.

But the gist seemed to be that […]

ESPN Insider Stephen A. Smith may not exactly be Adrian Wojnarowski when it comes to scoops. His best strength is dishing rapid-fire opinions on “First Take,” getting a dialogue started on all things sports in a very entertaining manner. But he does have an extensive background as a reporter, beginning his career with The Philadelphia […]

Check out the power rankings ahead of the 2021-2022 NBA season, and chances are you’ve seen a list with the Brooklyn Nets sitting pretty on top. ESPN’s post-free-agency power rankings and Bleacher Report both seem to agree with NBC’s claim that everyone is chasing the Nets. Spend some time speaking with a few jaded Nets […]

The Brooklyn Nets are the odds-on favorite to win the 2022 NBA championship. When healthy, they have the talent to beat any team in the league, including the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks. One would think that any team who can boast all of that wouldn’t be looking to make any blockbuster trades. Taking that one […]

The Brooklyn Nets are set for training camp on September 28th, and not long after that the first preseason game tips off. The team’s opening exhibition is set for Staples Center where they’ll take on the Lakers during the first week of October. There’s no doubt this is a championship-or-bust kind of year. General Manager […]

NBA legend Isiah Thomas recently claimed that the Brooklyn Nets “will not win the championship” without Kyrie Irving. Kevin Durant, for his part, couldn’t agree more.

Kyrie Irving has never been a darling of the media.

For his part, however, Hall of Fame point guard Isiah Thomas has given his […]

The Brooklyn Nets’ Kyrie Irving may be a polarizing player off the court, but his talent on the court is undeniable. He’s not an MVP-level candidate like his teammates Kevin Durant and James Harden. However, according to legendary point guard Isiah Thomas, Kyrie is incredibly important to their championship hopes. Speaking with Etan Thomas of […]

There are few more memorable moments in the NBA Finals than that of LeBron James’ iconic block on Andre Iguodala in 2016. It may be a forgettable memory for Golden State Warriors fans, though, as this was the play that ultimately led to the Cavs’ historic series comeback win. Iguodala, who is now with the […]

Believe it or not, there are these bonkers trade rumors of the Brooklyn Nets potentially trading star point guard Kyrie Irving. Nick Wright of Fox Sports lit the match with a Tweet, claiming that the 29-year old would “retire from the NBA” should the Nets deal him. Irving took exception to Wright’s crazy news and […]

On Wednesday’s episode of random NBA drama in the off season, Fox Sports’ analyst Nick Wright and Kyrie Irving got into a confrontational Twitter exchange. Wright, who first proposed that a Kyrie Irving for Ben Simmons trade deal would make sense, continues to believe that this transaction is best for the Nets and the Philadelphia […]

The NBA is one of the most influential organizations in the world, and LeBron James and Kyrie Irving are well aware of it.

Now, the modern NBA appears to be a complete opposite with four-time MVP LeBron James and seven-time All-Star Kyrie Irving […]

Like his teammate Kevin Durant, Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving sometimes entertains himself by responding to his myriad of critics on social media. On Wednesday, Fox Sports analyst Nick Wright reported on Twitter that Irving allegedly said he would just retire if the Nets trade him. Wright said Irving’s representative told him this. “There are […]

Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving recently raised eyebrows when he tweeted a cryptic message seemingly encouraging people to take their masks off.

At this point, it seems everything has been said about the next step for Ben Simmons. It appears not a single day goes by when the controversial guard isn’t linked to overly crazy trades that would make UFO conspiracy theories sound like immaculate truth. Well, apparently, not everything has been said. Because according to Fox […]

When healthy, the Brooklyn Nets are the team to beat in the Eastern Conference. That’s the key, though. Injuries are the only thing standing in the Nets’ way of making the NBA Finals for the first time since 2003. Regarding their roster, the Nets are the clear-cut best team in the NBA from top to […]

Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving has had enough of the culture that constantly spawns player comparisons and so-called experts’ hot takes.

Like bruh, just […]

James Harden once again proclaimed recently that facing the Brooklyn Nets will be “scary hours” for the rest of the NBA.

We’re in the dead heat of the NBA offseason and vastly in search of an oasis of news.

James was called out by several Warriors fans over arguing […]

Kyrie Irving vs. Stephen Curry has been a longstanding debate for years. Both the Golden State Warriors star and his Brooklyn Nets rival are widely considered as two of the most electrifying scorers in NBA history. The Warriors guard obviously holds an edge in shooting, as he does over everyone else on planet earth. But […]

The Brooklyn Nets have already been marked as the odds-on favorite to win the title in the upcoming NBA season.

Veteran guard Patty Mills will provide more help for Kevin Durant and the powerhouse unit of the Brooklyn Nets.

Mills will serve as the backup of Kyrie Irving and James Harden, providing instant scoring punch […]

Carmelo Anthony of the Los Angeles Lakers and Kyrie Irving of the Brooklyn Nets showed us a glimpse of what we will see if these two juggernauts meet on the hardcourt.

Kyrie Irving has never been one to give a boring interview. The mercurial Brooklyn Nets guard has always been willing to speak his mind.

When asked about the transitioning coaching situation, Irving gave a rather polarizing […]

Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving played together for a grand total of eight games for the Brooklyn Nets last season. That’s like watching the Beastie Boys magically reunite (come back to us, Adam Yauch!) but only for two songs. The injury bug was a huge factor in the lack of floor time for […]

The Brooklyn Nets have an insanely talented Big 3 with Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden among one of the best NBA trios of this century.
