My guy clayton crowley
"From good player to ben simmons" 😂
Being a Nets fan is very painful. Second time in a decade we've traded all our picks for superstars that ditched the team a couple seasons later. Two playoff series wins since relocating to Brooklyn maybe third time will be a charm.
This is pure pain as a life long nets fan. My main gripe is why bring in kyrie and Durant who are well known divas, and expect things to change? Either don’t bring them or if you do then except you have to treat them like a baby. If kyrie was given the long term extension tht he wanted, then he and kd would’ve stayed. Back up to trading harden. All we gave up to get him and we trade him for Ben Simmons which was a huge gamble. Horrible call should’ve demanded Tyrese maxey. Answer is Nets front office absolutely made every wrong move, after acquiring the talent. Huge shame and we are now in the dust
@@518Balla the front office is continuing to make bad decisions too by not taking the good trade packages for Bridges. We aren’t gonna be competitive enough with the roster we have right now unfortunately so we should look to move him.
@@518Ballathey would still be there if Joe Tsai and Sean Marks weren’t there.
@@belf5 agreed. Unless they are under the impression they can sign a couple big free agents. If not then I think it’s ok to move everyone but keep Claxton and cam Thomas imo.
@@jayborough9185 probably and emphasis on Joe Tsai
Everyone clowning on the Knicks for not getting these stars at the time. It all worked out in the end 😂
Lmao did it. Still won’t win a championship it’s cute tho. Imagine Brunson with kd
My boy made it on Bleacher Report
Weird they needed a 10 minute video to explain why putting 3 of the whinest and most selfish nba players in history on the same team wouldn't work out.
Super jazzed to hear Clayton on BR. Congrats dude!
I want a 30 for 30 for this trio
I wonder who's more thankful. Mavericks fans for getting Kyrie or Nets fans for getting him out. As a Mavs fan... Thank you Brooklyn!
Kyrie in the playoffs is not that good he's going to disappoint you
@@ronenvavshet6949 we'll see. He's great in the clutch and he was great in the playoffs for Cleveland.
@13spettit 😔😔😔 last time he played well in the playoffs actually was in Cleveland back in 2017 since then trash.
@@ronenvavshet6949but casuals say only reason why the bucks won that championship was because kyrie got injured ! 🤪 I swear basketball fans can’t make their mind up . Is he trash or not lol
@@ronenvavshet6949 could just be rose tented glasses but Kyrie seems different now than Boston or Brooklyn
Nash was NOT a KD guy. He is Sean Marks guy. KD, Kyrie and Harden all wanted Nash fired way earlier than when the Nets actually fired him.
Great video 🤙🏾
Duncan Robinson makes really good basketball videos
I'm still confused on how was Kyrie Irving wrong when the owner of Amazon who put the movie on his platform and the people that made the movie weren't held accountable how Kyrie Irving was held accountable make it make sense
Those people aren’t intrinsically connected to the NBA world. Kyrie was and the owner of the team he played for was Jewish. All people wanted was some clarification at first. Then he went into diva/conspiracy mode and then people started to demand an apology. There are all kinds of media that depict some ethnicity or race in a negative light that fly under the radar. When someone like Kyrie promotes one, then obviously people are gonna shoot the messenger.
Edit
He was his own worst enemy in that moment. Also he was already annoyed the organization with how he handled COVID.
if Tom Brady decided to share a documentary on Instagram that endorsed the KKK and said that slavery was good, do you think you wouldn't be mad? Would you expect consequences? Stop being so disingenuous, you can't really be so stupid to think that it's not the same.
Rumor has it there was only one ball 😮
That had nothing to do with their issues
@@brendanbloom3366blame Covid, harden. Mayor in New York idk that bum name
they were 13-3 with all 3 on the court (proportionally a 67-win team). it might surprise you to hear this but scoring prowess doesn't fade when the ball's being shared.
would you say the same thing about the warriors with KD? i doubt it
@@maximus3294Klay Thompson scored what, 37 in a quarter? Doesn't mean he was gonna score 120+ that game. Pipe down little man
Rumor has it you watched the entire video on mute…
More videos like this!
thanks for the picks!!!
ROFL!!!!! The Rockets are not going to get any franchise changing player with those picks.
This failed Nets team is a prime example of why team chemistry is so important.
It doesn't matter if you have the best players in the NBA, if they can't gel together & put the team first, they aren't going to succeed.
Also without depth, they can't afford to get injured or it'll be a disaster
Showing a clip of Mikal bridges and saying nets are rebuilding around what exactly, is wild Cuz he nice.
As a Nets fan.....i told folks that everything that could possibly go wrong will go wrong because it is the Nets. First sign was the the pandemic coming, following year was the hammy and ankle injuries.....downhill after smfh
happy for you clayton 🏀
Harden asked for a trade again from Philly too. Wild
"Aint no Big 3, It's just big ME"
- Ben Simmons
😂 too soon man too soon
Bring us more Clayton.
To put it simply the Nets too a terrible gamble. They took a high risk but no reward
I mean I wouldn’t say “no reward” you got 3 superstar players harden is just a fucking head case that ruins every team he plays for. And kyrie didn’t want the Covid shot which I don’t blame him for
1. Injuries. Injuries. Injuries.
2. Harden quit on them for no reason, and likely ruined the entire final chapter of his career by not just being more patient.
3. The Nets front office hated Kyrie Irving, and went out of their way to run him out of town, even though him and Kevin were a package deal. All they needed to do was offer him an extension and they offered him a non guaranteed contract. They suspended him and gave him a wild list of things to do, only after the media reacted to the Isrealite video situation. They could’ve made it work.
4. They almost hired Ime Udoka but didnt like the “optics” of it.
Nets are a picture perfect example of why only a few organizations consistently win all the championships in the NBA.
they didn’t offer him a non guaranteed deal lmao he just couldn’t miss games for no reason, they actually offered him a better deal than what he got from the mavs, he’s simply the biggest clown in sports
@@whatevahappenedthere2305 ☝🏿. Bro acting like Kyrie is a professional. He's the 2nd most childish and entitled player in the league. The first is Benjamin Simmons. At least Kyrie can hoop
@@ThomasTheTankEngine22so why has there been 0 issues since he’s been on the mavs?
In Harden's defense, Kyrie not taking the shot is some conspiracist bull; man take the damn shot and earn ur millions.
I understand his exit from Brooklyn much more than hisbexit from Philly
@@whatevahappenedthere2305no it was alot restrictions on like he had to win a championship to get his full money
Not even a mention that the Nets went 18-2 during a stretch of the 2022-2023 season?
The name of this video should be “What happened to the Brooklyn Nets”
It's about what happened to the nets big 3, that's probably why they named it "What Happened to the Nets Big 3".
I always wonder what would’ve happened if they would’ve beaten the Bucks Game 7 that year…
This video should be 1 second long. Just have a a person say the words ego then end the video
Yeah and a moron who didn’t watch the games might actually believe that.
The lack of depth and injuries by depending on 3 stars with a weak bench stunted the nets.
How do you NOT highlight the sweep??
Bleacher Report making a video about this is such a violation 😂😂😂😂
I expected this from secret base
@@flygenyus2186 Facts 😂😂😂 I feel like B/R is too connected with the NBA to make this
Best thing to come outta that team was the ISO Gang song
Finally someone that acknowledges the injuries and the impact it had on this trio. Had very little to do with talent.
they couldve got a 3 peat if they stayed healthy and didnt get into that mess or if harden just stayed patient, they forsure wouldve added better pieces . but i guess we will never know
Because of this super team, I hope KD, Kyrie, and Harden never win a championship again...
This is pure pain as a life long nets fan. My main gripe is why bring in kyrie and Durant who are well known divas, and expect things to change? Either don’t bring them or if you do then except you have to treat them like a baby. If kyrie was given the long term extension tht he wanted, then he and kd would’ve stayed.

Answer is Nets front office absolutely made every wrong move, after acquiring the talent. Huge shame and we are now in the dust
Y’all had something going (before KD showed up). Kyrie wasn’t the issue, the nets were on the come up in the nba. Durant basically handpicked Steve nash who clearly wasn’t ready to be a head coach . Kyrie didn’t vouch to bring in james hardin .
Nobody talks about the coach, doesnt matter.
Everyone clowning on the Knicks for not getting these stars at the time. It all worked out in the end
I think it’s illegal being this early
"Like a duplex in a tornado?" 😳
"Good to Ben Simmons"
Burned.
No one calling the clippers the same rn? Lol. Gimme the same energy for the clippers
I thought I was tripping when clicking on this vid and started hearing Clayton Crowley’s voice, bro makes the best basketball videos.
Wasn’t gonna watch this video but then I saw it was Clayton
I literally was just talking about this the other day. Such a sad attempt, I was so excited
Man if only
W clayton
Clayton you rule
Yooo this hurt me deeply🤦🏽♂️ Ben Simions Blake griffin coming off the bench. I don’t even wanna talk about this.🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
another Clayton W
more drama than game..😂😂😂
Whatever happened to them. It was about a year ago. At least give it five years dude.
Steven Crawley congratulations 🎉
ISO GANG 😢
Imo their was more to KD leaving GSW than was stated
Injuries the end.
WHYYYY!!
As a nets fan, this just makes me sad. I remember watching those guys come out the tunnel knowing that they were representing BK in the best way.
People so quiet about Kobe’s TWO super teams 😂
Which ones?
The one where he had dudes over 35yrs old but when Bron had former older all stars on his super teams like Ray Allen, Rashard Lewis, Deron Williams, Carmelo, Rondo, Dwight etc no one’s ever considered them as the cause of the super team they were actually seen as fallen off players
So to be clear Kobe had Malone and GP older previous allstars and niggas call this a super team
Bron had Bosh and Wade prime all stars with older previous allstars like Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis coming off the bench doing role player work
Malone and GP were asked to go from all star level work to 3rd 4th option level work
Bron had older all stars doin 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th option work and in those roles niggas say he has no help
Kobe with his older all stars lost in the finals with Malone missing the finals and ppl blame Kobe
Lebron with his young all stars and older allstars off the bench loses in finals not his fault
Or was it his 2nd super team where the true super team got rescinded so he ended up with Steve Nash 39 another older all star who got hurt the 2nd game of the season so Chris Duhon was the starter so in your head Kobe Dwight Gasol and Chris Duhon is a super team like Bron has had and Dwight was playin thru a back injury all season
'04 &2013. He mentioned quickly in beginning.
Saying the nets were halfway decent in the last year of the 7/11 era is crazy. They won 18 out of 20 before kd got hurt in Miami
Seriously this puts the success of heat into perspective. Building a new super team out of nowhere is hard. Also ya non of star players were real leaders
Crazy to think this team was once a thing huh ? Too bad they could not win a chip.
the big 3 played in 21 games together if you include the playoffs
2018 OKC & 2022 Lakers aren’t on the list of failed SuperTeams?
Why am I a fan of this team
Kyrie wasnt wrong at all
Front runners 🏃🏾♂️......😂😂😂😂😂😂
Clayton W
The front office is also to blame. Idk if they were too inexperienced or just caving to player demands but they made some questionable decisions.
If this happened to the Knicks we’d still be hearing jokes about it.
I’m glad the Knicks didn’t sign them
@@BeeBee-pl9ly you just want attention.
@@BeeBee-pl9ly has everything to do with the Knicks being that when they signed with the Nets the #1 story was the Knicks not getting them.
😢😢😢🗽
it hurts to watch this because they could've won 2 3 championships easy... injury and other stuff got in the way ;(
james harden that's what happened.
W Clayton
1. Kyrie was a headcase. He was great when on the court, but he wasn't on the court much. Even without the vax thing he was going walkabout for a couple of weeks whenever he felt like it. Even when the Nets had KD and Harden he didn't seem interested in playing as much as possible.
2. KD is not a leader, he doesn't take control of the team. I was often dumbfounded to see him only shoot like 12 times in a game, a goat scorer should be demanding the ball more and getting off shots, not sitting back waiting like a role player. He could do it, like in the series vs the Bucks, but it wasn't often enough.
3. Harden left too early, I know he was frustrated with Kyrie, but if they stuck it out for one more year and the 3 of them actually got some games together they could've been awesome.
4. Bringing in Simmons was a huge mistake, which probably destroyed the whole thing..... well, that and the Kyrie contract situation.
Kyrie did nothing wrong why would he apologize
ISO GANG
Big 3 up In this bitch
I think it was off court problems not on court they were decent but big 3 also ddnt play slot of games together
Kyrie a grownup. He don’t gotta apologize for u getting offended. Shut up and watch him dribble
They play together 30 games
Sorry they play 16 games in 3 years
Man as a rockets fan I missed when that late 90s squad got to fly under the radar whenever people brought up dog water super teams
Nah man that late 90s rocket team wasn't expected to win anything because Hakeem,chuck were washed
Mayor Adams happened.
Injuries and blackballing Kyrie that’s what happened!!
Kyrie was right
This would be like trying to put MJ and Isiah Thomas together in a team
Nets went all in on 3 superstar players and can you really blame them those opportunities don't come around everyday. When you go all in you can win big or lose big, just happened to be the later option. In terms of the future for the Nets think it is the same play book, getting a star in free agency, just might take a couple years for this to happen hopfully works out next time around.
Yes they ought to know how to handle them. Suspending Kyrie was a stupid move. It’s all media narratives. The same media that didn’t show the black community protesting outside the stadium for the overly heavy handed treatment of one of their own. Kyrie helped pull them all the way to 4th rank before asking for a trade. Did they really expect him to stay after that treatment and them offering him a bad contract? Did they really expect KD to stay without a capable co-Star? The Mavs happily took Kyrie because they know they wouldn’t be able to keep Luka unless they offered him a capable co star and they made sure to treat Kyrie better.
Yes Kyrie can annoy the mainstream media but being a media annoyance is nothing … look at the other headaches most teams had to deal with … gun flashing (morant), underage women(giddy), semi assault on the court (draymond) … I’d say Kyrie isn’t that bad …
They could not contain their egos. Each player thought that he was the most important player on the team. Harden wanted to be the offense and did not want Kyrie to be the first option. Harden also gave up on the team. Kyrie did not want restrictions on his contract. KD wanted the Nets to fire Nash and Marks. But even if KD got his wish, KD would have given another ultimatum to the Nets. But our future is looking good. We can sign or trade for D Mitchell, sign Trae Young and trade or sign Luka.
Yall not getting none of those players
And you don’t think those stars you mentioned have egos and difficulties? Young allegedly got his coach fired. Doncic didn’t gel with all other potential co stars the Mavs tried to get him before they landed Kyrie. You need to support your stars even as you make them behave ..just so to get them to stay … the nets failed.
@@walkrwalkr3622 They have less egos than the 3 that were with the Nets.
@PainandMotivation All three are manageable … the nets office just doesn’t know how to handle them. I mean look at other teams with multiple superstars and the egos they had to handle. KD and Kyrie weren’t clashing so it should be easier … they didn’t have to get rid of anyone.
If you’re CEO you don’t throw your top performer under the bus. That’s what Joe Tsai did. It’s bad leadership. They don’t know how to protect their own. I doubt any superstars would want to work with the nets after seeing how they treated theirs.
Egos is expected from top performers- it’s how you deal with it and manage it that defines the capability of an organization. The nets failed. I just feel had it been any other organization, they would have been able,to keep both KD and Kyrie.
Houston look like they’re getting another high pick this year and their current roster are starting to figure it out. BKN are in a mess
So this man basically blamed Kyrie for his beef with a set of semites?😂😂😂😂 did not hold kd accountable…
Why are we still taking about this????? Sorry I’m bitter
They blew it up to get Harden they gave up the team to get him
Kyrie shouldn’t have been fined or suspended for sharing a video Amazon sells on their website
04 lakers went to the finals
Injuries
And still combined for 3 rings lls 🤣
Possibly the defining question of this decade in the NBA. How the fuck did this not work??
Calling the ‘04 lakers a failure as super team is a big stretch imo, especially when you consider that they were coming off a 3-peat and still made it to the finals.
They make the argument they were a super team because of old Payton and Malone
But they were bums at that point
@@Parodyzrus that Lakers team had Kobe and Shaq the top 2 players in the league and a extremely deep bench. they were heavy fav
Things outside of basketball interfered
It went wrong because none of them play f****** defense. Even in today's league that sucks with defense. You still gotta have some. When the young players come in, they destroy him. It's just the way it is to finniki. A bunch of soft players together. Wow, that's the reason.
