No way! the worst superteam every put together is Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol. Steve Nash and Dwight Howard. They got bounced in the first round and Kobe had a career changing injury.
James really wanted to go to the Sixers under Morey. COVID impacted a lot of what this team was unable to accomplish and when they traded for Ben Simmons it killed everything. I wish they would’ve stuck it out bc none of them are really in a better position now.
Super teams weren't made to win championships . It's always the chemistry , assets , and adapting styles of sacrifices. That makes it a problem to never trade a superstar for draft picks , and players to waste their years .
brother they did not ever need a bench when the big 3 was healthy. did you see how badly they torched the celtics? they beat the bucks by 40 in game 2. IT was just injuries thats all.
Thats the thing though, they actually did complement each other. As the video pointed out, they had one of the best offense in the playoffs when all 3 played together. The team did show glimpses of greatness. It was really bad circumstances that caused this team to fall apart with the vaccine situation, and the organisations inability to hold kyrie accountable.
@@markysng And now Kyrie has his act together with the Mavs. It's crazy. But to be fair it really seemed like the Nets owner Joe Tsai didnt like him. Mark Cuban took Kyrie in and seems like he could care less about the stuff Joe Tsai did, so long as the Mavs are winning.
so nets had no picks, managed to assemble a superteam, sold out on the team and completely lost all significant assets and now again they have a bunch of picks. well done gm.
This is was the nail in the coffin and destroyed “The Big Three “ narrative. No more just putting 3-4 superstars on a team and expecting a championship! That ship has sailed. 🚢
During their final season together just before the all-star break, the Nets went on winning streak up until Kevin Durant got injured in a game against the Sixers. I think Joel Embiid landed on one of Durant's legs by accident. That Brooklyn Nets Team was formidable. KD that year did some amazing things with the Nets in 2021 playoffs. If Durant managed to step back an inch further beyond the 3-point line against the Bucks at the end of that game-7, the Nets would have secured a championship that year. Almost most of the stars on that team had some type of injury. I praised Durant that year for balling. Despite losing to the Bucks in that game-7, KD carried that Nets team on his back. I was disappointed in James Harden's physical conditioning that year.
No, it was against the Miami Heat. Jimmy Butler was taking a fadeaway jumpshot and landed into KD's leg coming down. The first time the season prior was Bruce Brown recklessly running to defend someone on the opposing team and fell into KD's leg in the process.
Yup, they missed the playoffs with AD, Russ and Lebron and were on pace to miss the playoffs again until Russ was traded. The Nets made the playoffs every year.

People who say this are smooth brained idiots that have no clue about the game of basketball. Anyone who thinks past his prime Westbrick is part of a superteam is either trolling......or cognitively impaired
No way! the 2013 lakers superteam in the biggest failure ever. They had Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard all before they got old and injured together and end up losing in the first round thanks to half the roster getting injured while the team underperformed before all that.
I watched almost all your videos on how a superteam team failed to succeed. The Clippers. The Sixers. The Nets. And in each of these videos Boston has made an appearance on how they did succeed. They implement so many strategies against some of the best offensive teams. They're only struggles (at times) are against teams who give them a taste of their own medicine and that is of course they're smothering defense.
For many years, all the talk about the first round picks that Brooklyn Nets gave up turned into Damian Lillard, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. But then again, if Brooklyn Nets had kept those picks instead of trading them away, would they have used the same picks to draft the same 3 players? Most probably they would have drafted someone else that would be draft busts or at best mediocre players. Just think about it.
The biggest superteam failure in NBA history is the 2012 LA Lakers with all 5 of their starters are all star caliber. They are projected to reach the NBA finals, but injuries and coaching changes took big blow in the team's campaign.
This team I really think the nets quit on it to early for the amount of money and pieces they gave up for this squad you would’ve thought they would’ve gave them some time to build chemistry
How crazy is it to say that some of your biggest mistakes as a franchise was acquiring Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Kyrie Irving, James Harden, Kevin Durant and Ben Simmons
Not enough credit being given to the Celtics defensive wall that the Nets ran headlong into. Quite possibly the strongest defensive performance in a playoff in the last decade.
Kyrie is a one man show when he’s adjusted well playing next to a heliocentric ball dominant player?, he’s taking pretty much 2 less shots than last year as well.
I feel like you also missed out on how little depth they really had. Spencer dinwiddie was never the same after the injury, losing Jarrett Allen who was that previous Nets iterations defensive anchor, and a bunch of old, worn down mid season buyout guys like Blake, Deandre Jordan, and Lamarcus Aldridge who just weren’t their former selves
Their roster was not constructed well. They had no depth, they traded an all-star level center to acquire another ball dominant guard, and replaced that young center with an old guy who couldn't play and injuries exposed their lack of depth. They also fired the coach that built the culture that enticed KD and Kyrie to go there and brought in a guy who had no relationship with the veterans and had no coaching experience. Depth, solid roster construction where everyone plays their roles, and 2-way versatile wings are whats needed to win, not a team of superstars who all need the ball to succeed, and whose roles don't compliment each other, who dont play defense, and who all get injured.
Deron williams is why it all failed, as well as a rookie head coach at the time in Jason Kidd. Paul Pierce literally said that Kidd had timeouts where they had no plays, and said Jason Kidd really grew up a lot over the year. Both also said Deron Williams was the x-factor to the team who didn't show up. Also Kidd didn't use KG right resting him on back to backs when he was still effective playing 30 minutes a game. The biggest failure though was the lakers superteam of kobe, nash, dwight howard and pau gasol.
This is why you don’t form super teams. They don’t always work out. Yes you need superstars to win but you also need role players and foot chemistry to win.
Only because of injuries. Otherwise they'd have destroyed the league and gone down as one of the best teams ever. KD almost beat the title winning Bucks by himself in 2021 ffs he was that good.
@@alexescutia4805 dude it went 7 games. Kyrie played three of those games and Harden played one healthy game and then after Kyrie went down he came back and played on one leg. And they still went to overtime in game 7. Give KD the credit bro 🤦♂️
Superteams only work if the players involved are willing to share the ball and not always be the guy. Part of the reason why LeBron’s Heat team worked was because Wade and Bosh understood that they needed to be supporting casts if they wanted to win.
The nets players were unselfish though, they were number one in offense that season and had a historic offense when harden, kyrie, and Kd all played. Kd has never been ball dominant, kyrie was willing to not be the point guard, and Harden sacrificed by taking the least amount of shots of the big three.
@ I know, I was just speaking in general. I know the Nets at the time were great, and that injuries is what mostly made them not work out. Kyrie’s feud with the media at the time also didn’t help make matters better either.
F*ck Harden for being impatient and bailing... Those 3 should have had a 4-5 year run together, but only resulted in 1.5 seasons (1 playoff appearance), that got ruined by injuries. Funny part is Kyrie is currently in the best situation. Harden will get his numbers and rot away in LA, while KD and the Suns are heading for a divorce by next Summer. Excited for the future as a Nets fan, but still very sad and unfortunate how this played out
Imagine being a Nets Fan who was so hyped up after it was announced that they are going to have Ky, KD, and Harden just for it to bomb harder than the Bikini Atoll experiments.
I think Kyrie did it on purpose, alot of people think he had beef with the owner or GM, because he went to Dallas and suddenly no controversies and he helped carry the team to the Finals.
Deron Williams didn't "decline", he literally forgot how to play basketball overnight. I don't know if the Monstars stole his powers or what, but it's the sharpest drop I've ever seen in sports history.

This team I really think the nets quit on it to early for the amount of money and pieces they gave up for this squad you would’ve thought they would’ve gave them some time to build chemistry
How good were the 2024 Celtics?
This superteam had three of the most toxic superstars, all for different reasons
If ya'll make a video on Kevin Garnet with the Brooklyn nets I will subscribe.
Ben Simmons, is a poor man's Tobias Harris. 😂
Guess not a super team
How crazy is it to say that some of your biggest mistakes as a franchise was acquiring Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Kyrie Irving, James Harden, Kevin Durant and Ben Simmons
The biggest what if healthy scenario outside the kawhi / pg clippers
Selfish play, me me me attitude, ball hog mentality - there’s your answer
I think it was injuries, particularly the harden injury. They went from big 3 to big 2 and still had a 7 game series with eventual champion bucks.
tbh I'm still confused about the kd buzzer bro like NBA players do that all the time idk why they chose THEN to enforce it
Can you guys do a video on how good Reggie Miller was?
Not enough credit being given to the Celtics defensive wall that the Nets ran headlong into. Quite possibly the strongest defensive performance in a playoff in the last decade.
kyrie messed things up.
It's simple. Irving and Harden are "one-man shows". Durant is a team player.
harden is “one man show” when he have 10assist per game?
Kyrie is a one man show when he’s adjusted well playing next to a heliocentric ball dominant player?, he’s taking pretty much 2 less shots than last year as well.
I feel like you also missed out on how little depth they really had. Spencer dinwiddie was never the same after the injury, losing Jarrett Allen who was that previous Nets iterations defensive anchor, and a bunch of old, worn down mid season buyout guys like Blake, Deandre Jordan, and Lamarcus Aldridge who just weren’t their former selves
If I was a loyal Nets fan, I'd be hella frustrated with all this drama and bs
Their roster was not constructed well. They had no depth, they traded an all-star level center to acquire another ball dominant guard, and replaced that young center with an old guy who couldn't play and injuries exposed their lack of depth. They also fired the coach that built the culture that enticed KD and Kyrie to go there and brought in a guy who had no relationship with the veterans and had no coaching experience. Depth, solid roster construction where everyone plays their roles, and 2-way versatile wings are whats needed to win, not a team of superstars who all need the ball to succeed, and whose roles don't compliment each other, who dont play defense, and who all get injured.
Yep. You're absolutely right about this. This Nets superteam idea was bound to fail so badly...
i feel like saying harden getting injured is a hindsight thing cuz until 2021 he never missed more than 10 games in a season im pretty sure
@@meep7895your right, people just yap in hindsight when they know what’s already happened .
To be fair Deron Williams and Joe Johnson were still in their primes and cooking the chemistry got messed up when kg and pierce came
Deron williams is why it all failed, as well as a rookie head coach at the time in Jason Kidd.
Paul Pierce literally said that Kidd had timeouts where they had no plays, and said Jason Kidd really grew up a lot over the year.
Both also said Deron Williams was the x-factor to the team who didn't show up. Also Kidd didn't use KG right resting him on back to backs when he was still effective playing 30 minutes a game.
The biggest failure though was the lakers superteam of kobe, nash, dwight howard and pau gasol.
KD being part of the 2 biggest superteam flops is wild work
This is why you don’t form super teams. They don’t always work out. Yes you need superstars to win but you also need role players and foot chemistry to win.
If only KD wore size 17 shoes…
He’s played with those big ass feet his entire nba career
going 0/2 with a super team is wild.
This would’ve been so fun to watch succeed
This made me sad i had faith in them
I can't believe I watched my team cook themselves badly twice in less than 10 years.
Pride comes before a fall
Only because of injuries. Otherwise they'd have destroyed the league and gone down as one of the best teams ever. KD almost beat the title winning Bucks by himself in 2021 ffs he was that good.
Kd won one game “by himself”
@@alexescutia4805 dude it went 7 games. Kyrie played three of those games and Harden played one healthy game and then after Kyrie went down he came back and played on one leg. And they still went to overtime in game 7. Give KD the credit bro 🤦♂️
Before this video even starts… off the rip I’m blaming James Harden. On alternating days Kevin Durant smh
The answer is simple: injuries
Superteams only work if the players involved are willing to share the ball and not always be the guy. Part of the reason why LeBron’s Heat team worked was because Wade and Bosh understood that they needed to be supporting casts if they wanted to win.
The nets players were unselfish though, they were number one in offense that season and had a historic offense when harden, kyrie, and Kd all played. Kd has never been ball dominant, kyrie was willing to not be the point guard, and Harden sacrificed by taking the least amount of shots of the big three.
@ I know, I was just speaking in general. I know the Nets at the time were great, and that injuries is what mostly made them not work out. Kyrie’s feud with the media at the time also didn’t help make matters better either.
I wasn't even a fan when they started but it still hurt they didn't get a chip.
F*ck Harden for being impatient and bailing... Those 3 should have had a 4-5 year run together, but only resulted in 1.5 seasons (1 playoff appearance), that got ruined by injuries. Funny part is Kyrie is currently in the best situation. Harden will get his numbers and rot away in LA, while KD and the Suns are heading for a divorce by next Summer. Excited for the future as a Nets fan, but still very sad and unfortunate how this played out
Suspended for 8 games over that is just pure races and crazy smh
Did you mean racist?
You’re right, Kyrie was being racist
I blame this on Giannis casually being under Kyrie as he goes for a layup ultimately injuring his ankle.
Ryan Hollins said on live television that he wasn’t sold on the Brooklyn Nets and EVERYONE laughed at him and trashed him for it.
As I nets fan I didn’t mind if bridges stayed on the team through a questionable rebuild but the trade from New York felt like a 2k trade.
when harden came, everything is a disaster
Imagine the Nets wouldn't trade for Joe Johnson , Deron Williams , KG , Pierce And JT .
What would've been a dynasty in the making.
Imagine being a Nets Fan who was so hyped up after it was announced that they are going to have Ky, KD, and Harden just for it to bomb harder than the Bikini Atoll experiments.
KD and Kyrie with Nets young team could've work. KD and Harden could've work but three of them? nah
With a combined age over 100+ yrs old: dat was funny af 😂
I think Kyrie did it on purpose, alot of people think he had beef with the owner or GM, because he went to Dallas and suddenly no controversies and he helped carry the team to the Finals.
Deron Williams didn't "decline", he literally forgot how to play basketball overnight. I don't know if the Monstars stole his powers or what, but it's the sharpest drop I've ever seen in sports history.
It’s crazy bro, he was considered to be one of the best PGs in the league when he actually balled. He’s in that long list of ‘what if’s’
I'm not going to even watch the video. I already know Kyrie is responsible for ruining the Nets.
