Steve Nash asked Kevin Durant on why the Brooklyn Nets didn’t work.
This one for the hit me up. Hey Rashad, what’s up? Thank you. I love you, brother. What’s up? What it do, boy? And things of that sort. Um, I saw this and I I didn’t know what Kyrie said on the stream. I I don’t know what happened this, what came of this. So, this is my first time even looking at this clip, but uh I didn’t even calculate in my mind that Nash was the coach with Brooklyn with the Kyrie and KD phase. It didn’t even compute with me. So, yeah, I had just signed that deal. You had just when you think back to our time in Brooklyn, what do you think of? I had just signed that deal. you had just signed a deal, but I feel like we was secure, but everything else around us was going not in a bad way. We got we got GMs going to other teams. We got coaches going to other teams. We got players forcing trades. We got bringing Ben Simmons, he’s back. Like, it was just so much stuff going on around us. I feel like we were locked in on the same page and understand like we trying to do something special here. But and I felt like your hands were tied a lot because you had to as a coach you got to deal with so much. Get to coach as much as I wanted to. That’s what it was. I didn’t think we didn’t get the full Steve Nash like I wanted like you probably wanted. I just felt like it was just too much too many distractions in a way and you know you can’t win that way. And but I felt like we had great intentions though. I felt like we we cared enough. I felt like every day we were trying. What’ you say? Uh oh. Let let me see. I never looked on the YouTube live. If it’s something next to your name, I don’t know what it is. Hold on. Let Let me look on the YouTube live and see what this is. Nate says something next to his his name. Let me see. I’m going what this is. Nate, look at this. Uh oh. Oh, number one, I guess. Oh, okay. Hey. Okay. Hold on. Hold on. Let me let me switch out so I don’t confuse everybody. Uh so what what this is is um YouTube they they have a new what you call they have a new uh program of like on lives they have people’s rankings and they have like you know number one. I guess it’s to like motivate people to like be like oh I want to be number one or whatever. It’s whatever. If you guys want to compete y’all can but like y’all know it’s not about it’s about the culture bro. It’s about the culture. Brooklyn was set up to fail. Honestly, 100%. 100%. Trying to push towards winning the champ. It was It was a great vibe in there. It’s some of the best times that first year. That’s why I signed that deal. That first year, man. Most fun ball I had. Some of the most fun ball I had playing my whole life. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed Brooklyn a lot. I love playing for Brooklyn, but it’s just so much stuff happened around. Yeah. Yeah. I think it is for everybody, Nate. Um, I got an email about it probably like last week or something or earlier this week. They said, “Yeah, it’s a new creators thing like uh they’re ranking the the top comeers or participants in the live.” Around the guys that were committed to the situation, it felt like we were committed, but everybody else wasn’t. It just was weird. That is that is crazy though. like after all of that, the turmoil and underachievements of like uh Kyrie and and Katie and Brooklyn, but also like Kyrie Katie and um Harden like it was still came down to just like KD’s foot being too big and being a two instead of a three against the Milwaukee Bucks. Like that’s still insane to me. Just shows you how good they were, bro. Like it’s like the Lakers, the 04 Lakers, like they had so much turmoil. They had every reason in the book to not succeed as a team and they still went to the NBA finals. Crazy. Everyone had issues with with Steve Nash being hired. Yeah. Yeah. That they literally just went with like names names names names names. Brooklyn always does that, bro. Like they did that when they first like moved to Brooklyn when they had the whole Joe Johnson and KG uh Darren Williams thing. Like it didn’t really make and like uh I think Jason Kidd was the coach. Like it just No, Jason Kid wasn’t the coach, was he? No, Jason Kid started off with Milwaukee. But like they just had a bunch of names, you know. Just had a bunch of names, bro. That team is definitely a what if. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Of the three. But that’s what happens when you get hurt people. That’s why when people uh get like super teams or like great players on the team, you’re like, “Oh, if they’re healthy, because you know, we’ve just seen it so many times before. or if you get a bunch of injury-prone people on the team, they show the uh they show the talent when they play and then they show the injuries when they’re injured. Uh the Brooklyn Nets definitely need to be case study. The ability to create super teams and find a way to rebuild afterwards is something 100% 100% because now they’re in a whole another rebuild at those six first round draft picks. Um, I think one guy had like a dunk in the summer league that people were excited for the other night, but like everybody else was is just kind of like, what is Brooklyn doing? They have all these draft picks and just like I guess they’re banking on like one of these guys have to be good because other than that, it’s just like, what are y’all doing, bro? They traded uh traded Cam Johnson for uh for a cheaper version, I think, of Michael Porter Jr. I don’t know if Michael Porter Jr. cheaper or if it costs more, but he’s excited for a fresh start. You know, he averages about 1820, but that’s same kind of thing Cam Cam uh Johnson was doing. And then, you know, you have Cam Thomas, of course, he’s a bucket. Uh I don’t know what else you’re dealing with. Like Drew Timmy, maybe he finds a way to like establish himself and and get a consistent spot in the league in Brooklyn. I don’t know, man. I just don’t know what Brooklyn’s doing, bro. I don’t know what they’re doing. Perhaps they’re just continuing to tank and stack up draft capital and then just keep drafting guys until somebody hits. Somebody’s got to hit eventually, right? Like you can’t miss forever. Uh so Kyrie said that he was going to react to this uh clip on the stream. And then KD said, “Let me set my notifications to watch said thing.” I I ain’t I haven’t seen it, bro. I ain’t seen it. I haven’t seen it. So, um I don’t know what Kyrie said about it. I could look it up right now and see if he said anything about it since this whole exchange between him and KD. Let me see. Kyrie. Kyrie. Let me see. Brooklyn. All right. I’mma look up Brooklyn. Okay. Let me see. Let me see. Let me see. Now, I don’t see anything, bro. I don’t see anything from today on Kyrie. Speaking about Brooklyn. Kyrie Brooklyn mixtape. Prime. Kyrie. Brooklyn. Brooklyn. Brooklyn. That’s crazy, bro. Have 50. Crazy. A Brooklyn title would have changed. Kyrie, Harden, KD’s. Yeah, I don’t know. I just I just don’t know if they ever did something. All right. Anyways, uh let’s move on to the next scene. Let’s move on to the next scene. Kyrie’s an interesting character. Yeah, I I like the fact that he’s streaming though in the midst of his uh rehabbing. It’s pretty cool because, you know, like you said, he is an interesting character. He’s had so many different eras, you know. He had the era where he was like whing out just like anybody else. He was almost kind of like I hate to say it, but like kind of a little kind of I’ll say like just playing with the snow a little bit. He’s playing with the snow and then he like rebranded into like a a woke man. Like it was he was kind of radicalized by, you know, a red pill experience, a red pill villain arc kind of starting point. And now he’s like uh a couple different things. He’s like uh a this, a that, a this, a that, like all these different beliefs. Um, but like you can tell that he’s learning and he is maturing it, but he’s kind of created his own reality. It’s kind of like when he plays basketball, he creates his own reality of basketball, his own view of basketball through art. And uh I don’t know, it it comes together sometimes. and you’re just like, “Hey, man.” He He’s one of those ones like creatives just move on a different wave frequency and things of that sort. Okay, this is the strangest thing. Speaking of strange things with Kyrie and the way he thinks and the way he moves and stuff like that. By the way, Kyrie’s a very nice guy. Very nice guy. Um, a man of the people, never too uh big for people out and about. You know, he he knows he’s a human with everybody else. This [ __ ] why you hit me up? Hey Rashad, what’s up? Thank you. I love you, brother. What’s up? What it do, boy?
