Chris Rock is the latest celebrity to pile onto the Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving and his stance on the COVID-19 vaccine. During a show Wednesday in Brooklyn, Chris Rock posed the question to the crowd, “Where’s my anti-vaxxer’s at?” Once he got a reaction from the crowd, he responded by saying “You dumb Kyrie […]

After a six-game home stand the Nets will now be tested with a six-game road trip. The Pistons, Raptors, Bulls, Magic, Pelicans and Thunder don’t exactly represent murderer’s row. The Raptors (6-3) and Bulls (6-2) should be tough. But those other teams are just a combined 12-27. One guesses the Nets don’t exactly mind facing […]

Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving has some hope that he can return to the basketball court sooner than expected.

After navigating their way through a rough start to the season, Kevin Durant, James Harden, and the rest of the Brooklyn Nets have looked more comfortable in recent games. On Wednesday night, they protected home court with a convincing 117-108 win over the Atlanta Hawks. What seemed like a nip-and-tuck affair in the first half […]

The current situation for Nets’ superstar Kyrie Irving is that while he’s unvaccinated he isn’t currently available to play in Brooklyn. That’s not the Nets decision, that’s a New York decision. Because of that, the Nets Brass put their head’s together and decided Irving would not be allowed to appear in road games either; the […]

The Brooklyn Nets’ decision to ban an unvaccinated Kyrie Irving from joining the team has received mixed reactions from the public. However, the Nets have one major supporter in New York Governor Kathy Hochul, who herself recently praised the organization for taking a stance against Irving’s decision not to get the vaccine. According to Gov. […]

There appears to be a lot of confusion right now with regards to New York City’s vaccination mandate. Even the governor herself seems to have been misinformed when it comes to the city and the NBA’s policy on unvaccinated players. Brooklyn Nets superstar Kyrie Irving will likely have something to say about this issue. New […]

The Beard is back. After a disappointing start to the 2021-22 NBA season, James Harden broke out with an efficient triple-double of 18 points, 12 assists, and 10 rebounds against the Detroit Pistons to put the Brooklyn Nets back over .500. This came after a season-high 29-point effort on Friday. Ever since Harden’s subpar play […]

Now that Kyrie Irving has made it publicly known that he has no plans of getting vaccinated and abiding by the state of New York’s COVID-19 vaccination mandate, the Brooklyn Nets may have no other choice left but to trade the All-Star guard. In their quest to capture their first NBA title in franchise history, […]

An interesting element of the Nets’ […]

The Brooklyn Nets (2-3) are getting set to take on the struggling (1-4) Indiana Pacers. Kevin Durant and James Harden will try to capture a bounce-back win after Wednesday’s 106-93 loss to the Heat.

The Brooklyn Nets haven’t exactly lived up to preseason expectations as a championship favorite over the first five games of the regular season. James Harden has admitted he’s out of shape following a summer spent rehabbing his hamstring, and is clearly adjusting to the league’s new officiating guidelines on unnatural movement from offensive players. Steve […]

In their most recent game, the Brooklyn Nets got demolished on the glass 62-42, falling to the Miami Heat 106-93 in their fifth game of the year. Brooklyn (2-3) is trying to scrape by as they adjust to the training camp bombshell of losing Kyrie Irving due to the superstar’s vaccination status. Irving, at 6-2, […]

In this specific post, though, we’ll be look […]

Kevin Durant is in the midst of literally his hottest start to any season throughout his career.

As reported by Ira Winderman of […]

As Kyrie Irving continues to sit out for the Brooklyn Nets while refusing to get vaccinated, he has slowly gained a following in choosing to do so. Add Floyd Mayweather to that list.

Kyrie Irving has said he does not want to become a distraction for the Brooklyn Nets this season. Well, whatever your point of view on the matter of vaccines and vaccine mandates in New York City, the Nets star has ultimately presented a distraction for his team.

There’s a new conspiracy theory going around involving Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving – but this time it’s not one he came up with himself.

The mercurial All-Star received support prior to the Nets’ home […]

The Brooklyn Nets and Kevin Durant hosted the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday in the team’s home opener without Kyrie Irving. The stars were out as Jay-Z sat alongside team co-owner Clara Tsai.

On Friday, ESPN’s NBA guru Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Brooklyn Nets and the Philadelphia 76ers were NOT having talks about a potential Kyrie Irving-Ben Simmons trade. This was pretty big news considering how both teams have had problems with their respective superstars of late. One bit that some folks might have missed from Woj’s […]

Ben Simmons wants out of Philadelphia. The Brooklyn Nets are reportedly open to the idea of trading Kyrie Irving amid his anti-vax stance. If you put two and two together, it only makes sense that both parties would at least explore a straight-up swap involving these two controversial superstars. According to ESPN’s NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski, […]

Kyrie Irving standing firm on his opinion towards the COVID-19 vaccine mandate is bound to hurt the Brooklyn Nets at some point. With R&B star Chris Brown offering his support for the enigmatic point guard, the attention it’ll drive in favor of Irving’s beliefs could lead to more distractions for the Nets. In a recent […]

The Brooklyn Nets’ season continues on the road Friday night. Brooklyn fell at the hands of the champs, the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday. They’ll take on another top Eastern contender from 2021 when they visit Philadelphia. But this is no ordinary matchup. Brooklyn and Philadelphia each have their own ongoing dramas to contend with. They’ll […]

It’s not an NBA day without the name of Kyrie Irving being brought up. But this time around, it was for an entirely different topic. Golden State Warriors veteran Andre Iguodala is a man of many thoughts. He has a book, for crying out loud! On Wednesday night, with the Warriors taking a break, he […]

If there’s one thing that’s as sure as the sun rising tomorrow, it’s the fact that a day feels absolutely empty without reading about Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons. Both of them were once hailed as among the best guards in the NBA, but now, it truly feels like they’re both considered pariahs. Irving can’t […]

Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash and his staff only recently learned they would be without the services of one of the 20 best players in the NBA. No team, no matter how stacked, brushes off a bombshell news story like that without so much as a hiccup. Yet the absence of Kyrie Irving is […]

The 2021-22 season has started and Kyrie Irving’s absence looms over the entire Brooklyn Nets organization. There does not appear to be any resolution in sight, other than the current one, where Irving is essentially forbidden from joining his teammates. The team’s position is clear and could basically be summarized as such: you are free […]

Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson is evidently an advocate for the COVID-19 vaccine. He’s received both doses and is urging every single player in the NBA to do the same. Amid the Kyrie Irving saga, Johnson gave his brutally honest take on the situation: “You have said to your teammates, ‘I’m gonna be there […]

Kevin Durant was his usual masterful self on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Bucks but his efforts weren’t enough to give the Brooklyn Nets their first win of the new NBA season.

Kyrie Irving’s list of detractors grows by the day. The Brooklyn Nets star now faces criticism beyond the confines of NBA circles as cultural icon Howard Stern becomes the latest to lambast the enigmatic superstar. Speaking on his radio show, Stern didn’t hold back against the Nets guard calling him out both for his recent […]

Nets head coach Steve Nash probably had a sense of how his early-season rotation might have looked one month ago. It’s probably a lot different today. The team is slight favorites in the season opener against the Bucks, despite playing on the road. They’re still finals favorites despite the latest news on Kyrie Irving not […]

NBA commissioner Adam Silver conducted a virtual press conference one day before the 2021-22 season tips off, and he was predictably asked about Kyrie Irving‘s anti-vaccination status that has caused the Brooklyn Nets to ban their star guard. Silver expressed hope that Irving eventually does receive the COVID-19 vaccine and rejoins his teammates on the […]

During the offseason, Kyrie Irving cards were one of the many options collectors went for as the market dipped. It makes sense because the Brooklyn Nets are going to enter the upcoming season with a healthy Kevin Durant and James Harden, making them instant contenders in the Eastern Conference.
