The Biggest Failure in NBA History... 

Nets fans let it all out. This is a safe place

Make two super teams in 10 years and fail both times twice over. Brooklyn Nets basketball at its finest

It’s crazy how If KD stepped back a little farther vs the Bucks, the Nets might’ve been 2021 Champions

Being a kyrie fan has been worse to my mental health than any relationship I’ve ever been in. Perfect analogy

Happy to be a part of this channel's growth. These analysis videos are so well produced and formulated. Great content

Oh, you haven't heard. During KD's trade request, the Nets FO and him came to an agreement which saw KD stay, but under the terms that if it ever seemed as if things weren't going to work out i.e no longer contenders, the Nets would accept a trade to a destination of Durant's choosing. After Kyrie left, Durant apparently requested the FO to go after Siakim to replace Kyrie as the second option, but the FO weren't willing to give up what the Raptors were asking for, so they just shook hands and quietly made the deal. This was no surprise. It was just a matter of time.

What this says too is that KD is a follower, not a leader. He wasn't "the man" in OKC, it was obviously Westbrook. The Warriors got in his ear and showed him the greener grass, so he followed. At some point he and Kyrie got to talking, so he followed him to Brooklyn. He wasn't going to stand up to Kyrie and when it looked like he'd have to be the leader on his own he wanted to bounce. Now he's in Phoenix where he doesn't have to be the guy again

I've been a die hard nets fan since I was a kid. I grew up on Sam Cassell and Stephon Marbury running the point. This is just rough AGAIN! In 2013 they mortgaged the future drastically but at least then even though past their prime Pierce and KG gave Nets something to be optimistic about and something fun to watch. You trade KD, a top 5 player in the league, and the best player you get is MIKAL BRIDGES?!?! How do you not get Chris Paul or at the very least Deandre Ayton?! Wasn't the whole reason they didn't trade him in the offseason was because they couldn't get anywhere near a equal return for him. I have no hope for this season or the near future. Kyrie was a MJOR problem from the start but the fact that the Nets front office have given fans ZERO Reason to go to a game is ridiculous. For Reference I've lived in NY my whole life. At least when they played in Jersey it was an hour drive to the meadowlands complex. Brooklyn takes over an hour and a half at least to get to Barclays Center and that's IF you hit all the trains and subways perfectly (tried driving there. To much of a pain and parking costs an arm and a leg)! You want me to make that commute to see BEN SIMMONS granted he's having a good day and actually decides to play?! Nah I'll just put on the YES Network instead while I fold laundry. I love this franchise. Always have always will but they just can't get it right!

I feel like it’s harder to trade players in 2k then the actual NBA

The Nets trio was a bunch of superstars who never truly lead their team to a chip trying to band together to grasp a title . It’s actually poetic because they’re all great players but they’ve always lacked the mental edge to persevere through the obstacle’s and pressures of being a franchise player 😮‍💨 . Its like they wanted to team up to prove the doubters wrong because of the narratives that surround their careers. With the Nets failing , it furthered proved that point .

Seriously great content

6:55 okay you lost me, what does that even feel like?

I enjoyed the Roman Reigns pictures more than the video at times not gonna lie

Nets had a huge opportunity to reinvent their culture, moving to Brooklyn.. Visually they did and thats it. they just went along with the gentrification of their team as well.

Hiring Steve Nash as a head coach was basically the same mistake the Nets made when they hired Jason Kidd as head coach where they just hired a no-experience ex-HoFer player who no previous coaching experience

So listen: No, they're not. There have been numerous attempts at assembling super-teams out of older stars who are a bit past their prime, and usually recovering from some major injury. Maybe some younger players don't remember when the Houston Rockets traded for Charles Barkley and Scottie Pippen to complement Hakeem Olajuwon, but I do. They weren't that old, either. Chuck was 35, Hakeem was 36, and Scottie was 33. When you consider that LeBron is still killing it at 38, and Steph is 34, there's no reason they couldn't have lucked out and stayed healthy. But they didn't, and they finished 31 and 19 in a lockout shortened season. The big problem is that NBA viewers and analysts tend to to be backward-looking. They evaluate player ability not in terms of what their impact is right now, but what they had done in prior seasons. Kyrie is a good point guard. Great. Him and about 50 other NBA point guards. I hate to break it to you guys, but it's not that hard to find a guy who's 6'2" who can shoot and dribble. Durant is a different story, he's a unicorn, but there's only one of him, and hej's averaged 44 games in the 3 seasons since his injury. And the league finally started cracking down on Harden's jab-step/rip-through bullshit just in time for his move to Brooklyn. Do you maybe remember when, in 2010 when LeBron assembled an *actual* super-team of all-star players in their 20's, instead of post-injury, somewhat washed names in their 30's? And then swore he would bring "Not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 titles" but EIGHT? And the proceeeded to go 2 for 4 before slinking back to Cleveland? Because I do.

I’m a Knicks fan & I’m Glad they blew it up, goes to show you that my Knicks will always be the real basketball team in NY

5:51 damn! I didn’t even know they declined his donation!

Appreciate all the WWE screenshots

The Nets have had a dysfunctional front office since the days of Otis Birdsong and Micheal Ray Richardson.

Hiring Nash as the coach immediately told me that the front office just didn’t care

The reality is that Kyrie hasn’t done jack shit since he left Lebron. What has he done since he hit that shot in 2016? He lost the finals the next year, then fuckin nothing. He failed with Boston, failed with Brooklyn, and is failing as we speak with Dallas. They will most likely be much better next year, but they aren’t winning a title with Kyrie. He’s maybe the most overrated player ever. Lebron is the only guy who has ever been capable of actually keeping Kyrie under control. The is the only pairing I would take seriously with Kyrie, everyone else in the league cannot contain Kyrie and prevent him from destroying the chemistry of the team.

Blame Pie: Joe Tsai 10% (Honestly I think he just played the hands off role for far too long and when he stepped in, the stars threw a tantrum) Steve Nash 5% (not meant to be there) Sean Marks 25% Kyrie Irving 25% James Harden 5% (injuries + understandable why he requested out + trade not on him) Kevin Durant 15-20% Injuries, bad luck 10-15%

I’ll never forget watching that Bucks series. Definitely the most heartbreaking moment of my life

I'm a Lakers fan. Brandon Roy used to scare the Sh--- out of me. Honestly, 2008 -2010, other than the Celtics in the finals, the Blazers team was the only team I think could have legit beat us in the West. Broke my heart in that video when you guys talked about how he may already be forgotten. He was GOOOOD 😢

Kyrie is just not a superstar. Why call him a superstar player, when he cannot carry a team?

another gr8 vid guys. probably shldve gone a little before like when the dlo era started to show how they got there but no gripes here keep it up yall!!!

I can’t believe how fast this team deteriorated. Great video guys!

Two super teams in one decade. The 2nd one arguably having the most talent since the 2018 Warriors. Two former MVPs in Durant and Harden. Kyrie Irving in his prime. Depth out the wazzoo. A team that could've beat the eventual champion Bucks had KD's foot been a few more inches behind the line. All to wind up with some solid players, the husk of Ben Simmons, less success in their own barn than the Islanders, less hope than the Knicks, and less championship banners than the Liberty. To call the squatters known as the Nets an embarrassment would be am understatement. If you were to look for bigger failures in NY/NJ sports, you'd only find the 2023 Yankees and Mets. Maybe the 2017 Giants if you squint.

I sometimes consider the Nets a potential wasted dynasty

If KD doesn’t blindly listen to Kyrie that year, there’s a world where in the summer of 19’ KD & Kawhi both sign with the Clippers. The PG trade never happens and they still have Shai at point guard

The greatest trio in NBA history is an overstatement.

Remember when the warriors convinced everyone Steve Kerr could coach ?!

Kyrie’s antics really put a dent in the chemistry of the entire team

The double standard of the blame Kai gets and not the blame KD gets is INSANE

They are truly villains, no matter how much they prepare and plan, they always lose at the end

Ok before I watch the video, I have to address “they are looking at another rebuild/where do the Nets go from here”. Other than maybe the Thunder, the Nets have one of the most promising futures. Cam Johnson is a problem, Mikail Bridges is a REAL problem, Nico Claxton is on his way to being a big name center and improving every dam day, Cam Thomas is like the Manhattan project waiting to explode on the leave (pause). All that plus the HAUL of draft picks we have from KD and Kyrie. And if Ben Simmons manages to actually show up…..we are gonna make some noise. Don’t sleep on the Nets.

Why don’t y’all do a ringless retrospective. Like talk about best players or coaches to never win a championship. I think it’s be a great video.

And also love the video

I could be wrong, however, is the analogy for Kyrie & the red flag shawty comparing ones morals and values to the valuation of ones intrinsic skills?

if Adam Silver turned injuries off it’d all be different :(

You can see the Adam Blampied influences in this channel

The reason the nets took a “win now” deal for kyrie was because even if they traded kd they still don’t own their picks, so they have to be somewhat competitive

Terrific analogy

KD should of just stayed in Golden State. win some more championships and retied

Uhm.. I'll take Kyrie's donation..

It’s wild how y’all blame everything on Kyrie 😂😂. KD asked out in the offseason and mentioned how it disrupted the Nets but since he’s top 5 and ended not get traded he’s fine? 😂

I still think the Miami heat with lebron those dudes were supposed to win not 1 not 2 not 12 rings together 😂

Another w vid

the nets is what happens when you play too much of nba 2k23 gm franchise mode

They should’ve kept dlo

They were always better as the New Jersey Nets anyway.

Front office ain't it, tsai needs to sell the team

I honestly think the nets should have kept James harden he was pretty good he had people PUTTING him in the mvp convo

Why the hell didn't harden just wait for kyrie and durant to inevitably come back and inevitably win the next 5 championships???, makes absolutely no sense

I definitely feel like Kyrie played a part in all of it (and I fw Kyrie TUFF), but I’d want to leave too if I’m getting hit with an ultimatum and requirements to hoop (ya know, my job). The anti vax situation is totally different and flawed since NY mandate laws were brutal. Kai could’ve definitely handled the ant-Semitic situation better, but the FO was definitely on bs. KD also had injuries throughout that time frame so you can’t knock him for that at all.

52K 1y 60.5K subs

LeBron, AD, Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony, and Dwight Howard not even making it to the play in tournament is a far worse failure. Far worse.

DID YOU SAY THIS IS THE BEST BIG 3 ALL TIME? AAANNNNDDDD IN THEIR PRIMES. WHAT CHANNEL DID I CLICK HERE?

The only thing I hated they tried to do is that antisemitic link...they wanted him to give 500k, some classes and an apology....nawl that was bs, but everything else....yea he did that lol

It was a burning dumpster truck rolling down a hill with no brakes, but at least it was entertaining as hell...unless you're a Nets fan.

Harden was their best player 🤷‍♂️

It’s 99% Kyrie’s fault

I wouldn’t say prime KD HARDEN AND IRVING definitely not prime harden lol not saying they’re washed up or old but KD already had 2 major injuries and in his 30s Irving just a tad past his prime but pile on all the shit he was pulling with Cleveland and Boston made it worse and harden well harden is harden and after he got his MVP his prime was gone

Go get another booster u muppet! Lakers 2004 Lakers 2022
