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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Milwaukee Bucks forward and two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo is a generational talent. He has been praised by the whole NBA community as a superstar player and a future Hall of Famer, even though he is only 26. Two years after James Harden made some comments about Antetokounmpo, the star finally addressed the comments, speaking to […]

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 […]

Winning an NBA championship is arguably the most significant milestone achieved by any basketball player. It cements their legacies and puts them in a position to be part of the prestigious Hall of Fame. However, not all great players get to win a championship throughout their careers. In fact, there are a handful of great […]

It has long been rumored by many insiders that the National Basketball Association is making an effort to curb foul-baiting. Now, in a welcome news for basketball fans, the NBA has officially announced their plans regarding this tactic. In a Zoom call with reporters, NBA senior vice president and head of referee development and training […]

We may have a bit of clarity on the Brooklyn Nets’ vaccination hold-out situation. On Tuesday, we learned that if the team held practices in Brooklyn, a couple of their players would not yet be eligible. It wasn’t an issue Tuesday because training camp is in San Diego. But the gist seemed to be that […]

Nets’ training camp is set for Tuesday September 28th in San Diego. They begin their preseason at Staples Center on the third of October when they’ll face the Lakers.

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 […]

The Brooklyn Nets already splashed the cash on a massive $198 million extension on Kevin Durant in August, and it looks like the team is closing in on similar developments for both Kyrie Irving and James Harden. Brooklyn GM Sean Marks recently provided a key update on the negotiations the team is having with the […]

It’s only a matter of time before Ben Simmons ultimately gets sent packing from the Philadelphia 76ers. The where and when, however, feel far from being resolved. The latest news is that the Sixers star may not show up for training camp at all, which the team can punish with a rather hefty fine. ESPN […]

It’s been eight months since James Harden was traded to the Brooklyn Nets. Because of how far the draft picks involved convey, this is the kind of trade that will take a decade to properly evaluate. However, we do have the freedom to periodically revisit how the trade looks from both perspectives. Unless something devastating […]

Brooklyn Nets star James Harden has no time for mincing his words. He has always been an interesting player because of his thoughts, which sometimes tend to be a little off-kilter. In a recent video, Harden spent some time talking to a group of young players. While most NBA players usually go the typical motivational […]

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 […]

After an injury-hobbled 2020-21 regular season and playoffs, James Harden highlighted that conditioning is his main focus this offseason.

Every so often, an NBA player comes out of nowhere to win MVP, defying all betting odds and experts’ educated guesses. It’s a tough award to predict, particularly now that an aging LeBron James has proven to be just as vulnerable to injuries as the rest of the league. The top five candidates in terms […]

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 […]

Chris Paul is no stranger to postseason heartbreak. The 16-year NBA veteran has been through playoff hell and back, most recently falling short in the NBA Finals with the Phoenix Suns. But before that, Paul went through a similar heartbreak with the Houston Rockets. Paul recently appeared on the No Chill with Gilbert Arenas show, […]

The Brooklyn Nets added more firepower to their already loaded roster by acquiring free agent Paul Millsap from the Denver Nuggets. The veteran forward was in the middle of a tug of war among several teams, including the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Clippers, and Chicago Bulls. Put perhaps sensing the Nets will give him […]

James Harden once again proclaimed recently that facing the Brooklyn Nets will be “scary hours” for the rest of the NBA. He has made the two-word phrase his mantra of sorts since joining the Nets last season, teaming up with the already formidable duo of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Many fans felt that Harden […]

When James Harden entered the NBA more than a decade ago, no one expected him to rise through the ranks and become the player he is today.

After locking up forward Kevin Durant for multiple seasons, the Brooklyn Nets have turned their attention towards securing contracts extensions with stars Kyrie Irving and James Harden.

The Brooklyn Nets have already been marked as the odds-on favorite to win the title in the upcoming NBA season. Boasting a finally healthy lineup featuring Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving, it truly seems the Nets will wreak havoc across the league. But like most teams, the Nets underwent changes in the offseason, […]

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons has been the center of attention when it comes to trade talks after his disappointing postseason. While he could still be on his way out, it appears the Sixers tried to get rid of him for a much bigger star earlier this year. Per The Athletic’s Sham Charania, Philly was […]

Veteran guard Patty Mills will provide more help for Kevin Durant and the powerhouse unit of the Brooklyn Nets. He surprisingly left the San Antonio Spurs to join the Nets in the offseason, signing a two-year, $12 million deal. Mills will serve as the backup of Kyrie Irving and James Harden, providing instant scoring punch […]

Brooklyn Nets star James Harden continues to live his best life. With still a few weeks left before training camp starts, the well-known party animal was once again spotted hamming it up in Houston.

James Harden had an ASTROWORLD themed […]

“Who’s coming in second?” Three-time MVP Larry Bird famously asked his NBA three-point contest opponents back in 1988 prior to the All-Star weekend shootout. Bird would go on to win the event, earning his third-straight victory. Does anyone remember who actually came in second? Of course not. It’s a low-stakes competition that the players themselves […]

James Harden and Russell Westbrook were teammates on both the Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston Rockets, so they’re brothers for life. Westbrook just showed his love for Harden by getting the Brooklyn Nets star a sick Richard Mille watch for his 32nd birthday. Check it out: James Harden turns 32 today, and Russell Westbrook got […]

Like most NBA stars, Minnesota Timberwolves big man Karl-Anthony Towns isn’t new to getting heavy vitriol from fans. He’s had his fair share of bashers, especially during his infamous spat with former teammate Jimmy Butler and his past altercations with Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid. Still, Towns has developed into one of the NBA’s most […]

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 […]

Brooklyn Nets star James Harden have been in contention for the MVP award ever since he left the Oklahoma City Thunder. He finally won one back in 2017-18, though his trainer believes it should have been more.
