The NBA‘s annual media day was help this Tuesday, and Brooklyn was the place to be. The Brooklyn Nets had one of the best off-seasons to recent date, acquiring proven All-Stars and young players filled with potential. With all this excitement and a fresh new start to the Nets’ organization, media permeated throughout the area, interviewing players [...]
Two weeks prior to the NBA draft, Scott Machado was doing his best to make a name for himself in the pre-draft workouts. Despite leading the nation in assists last year with 9.9 a game (even better than Kendall Marshall‘s 9.7), Machado was, for the most part, unrecognized entering the draft and didn’t get much, if any, attention [...]
The Brooklyn Nets may have changed locations, but their extraordinary dancers will not be left behind. The “Brooklynettes,” who were simply called the “Nets’ Dancers” prior to moving to Brooklyn, have always been well known around the league for their impressive routines, which includes dunking during halftime. This focus on performance, rather than appearance, would explain why [...]
Earlier today, Brooklyn Nets General Manager Billy King met with the media to answer any questions about the Nets’ offseason and discuss the upcoming season. King touches on several topics including the possibility of a championship, Andray Blatche, and even what might have happened had Deron Williams left the Nets.

If the Miami Heat have shown the world anything in the past two years, it’s that success doesn’t come overnight- even if your starting lineup consists of the best player in the world, the best shooting guard in the world, and a top-5 power forward.

In addition to solid [...]
For as long as the Brooklyn Nets have been an NBA team, it’s always been a struggle for fans to get to games. It was hard enough to get fans to come to games as it was, with the team consistently being one of the worst in the league; and, the fact that it was [...]
As the Brooklyn Nets make a monumental move across the Hudson, it’s a given that pretty much everything will change. Stadium? Bigger. Fans? Increased by thousands. Community? More diverse. Logo and Jerseys? Re-designed by Jay-Z. Colors? Simplified to black and white. In the midst of all this development and renovation, it’s easy to overlook a [...]
The Brooklyn Nets have brought in tons of new talent this offseason, from high profile All-Stars, to low key reserves. While All-Stars Deron Williams and Joe Johnson were the main stories this summer for the Nets, a solid backup snuck his way onto the roster without making too much noise. The Nets were extremely lucky to snag Tornike [...]
