Brooklyn Nets new vibe, Bruce Brown, James Harden, Cincinnati Bengals and more

Brooklyn Nets finally ended the 9-game losing streak and Bruce Brown had a huge night. He says the locker-room vibe is great now and everybody likes everybody. After defeating the Sacramento Kings 109-85 Brooklyn Nets snapped the losing streak without KD, Kyrie, and Harden. Seth Curry and Andre Drummond were in the starting lineup on their debut night.  Curry went for 23 points, 7 assists, and 5 assists whereas Drummond had 11 points and 9 rebounds. The star of the night however was Bruce Brown with 19 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 steals, and 3 blocks. In addition to that, he had 0 turnovers in the 37 minutes he clocked in last night.  The rumors about James Harden pushing for a trade have been doing rounds for a long time. That must have led to tension in the locker room for the Brooklyn Nets. Kyrie Irving’s reluctance to get vaccinated and KD’s injury frustrated James Harden. The losing streak was quite likely the final nail in the coffin. visual: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjecGYLY7NU #basketball #nba #sports #newyork #losangeles #phoenix #arizona #trending #podcast #channelofkool #jamesharden #nfl

2022 NBA Trades winners losers Simmons, Harden, Porzingis, Ibaka, Harrell and more

The biggest deal of 2022 happened just hours before the deadline when the Brooklyn Nets agreed to send James Harden to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Ben Simmons, a move that shakes up two major Eastern Conference contenders.  The Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets had trade discussions centered around swapping Russell Westbrook for John Wall, according to ESPN's Dave McMenamin, with the deal stalling after the Rockets wanted further compensation. The Lakers also had traction on a three-team deal with the Toronto Raptors and New York Knicks that would have involved trading guard Talen Horton-Tucker, but fell apart because of draft picks that would have needed to be included, sources told ESPN.  Chris Paul was considered damaged goods when he was dealt from Houston to Oklahoma City. All the Point God did with the Thunder was up his value and turn himself into a wanted commodity. Enter Phoenix. They picked up Paul for Kelly Oubre Jr., Ricky Rubio, Jalen Lecque, Ty Jerome and a protected 2022 first-round pick. It worked out pretty well for Phoenix, as Paul led the Suns to the NBA Finals in his first year in the Valley. visual: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTae77W_CDE #nba #suns #lakers #thunder #sports #knicks #newyork #houston #rockets #jamesharden #losangeleslakers #athletes #trending

Old school vs New School NBA, Gerald Henderson plays in neck brace and more

One of the biggest criticisms of the modern NBA is that the players are too soft. Because of the change in rules over the last few years, the league has buckled down on the level of physicality that is allowed in the league. Fans have been quite vocal about this over the years. And one picture from the 70s that has gone viral has given new fans even more ammunition against the modern generation.   A recent picture of former NBA champion Gerald Henderson playing with a neck brace on sent NBA fans into a frenzy. The Tweet with the picture highlighted how modern players partake in load management and used this player as an example of how much tougher and physically perseverent NBA players were in the prior era.  NBA fans reacted to this picture, with most of them talking about how tough Gerald and players from his era were. One fan even brought up Calvin Murphy, a hall of fame player who wore a helmet at one point in his career because of a concussion. Some fans did point out that making players' health a priority is actually a good thing, but very few fans agreed with him.  Clearly, NBA fans think that the modern generation of the NBA is not as tough as it used to be. These fans also called Devin Booker 'soft' after his incident recently with the Toronto Raptors mascot, and how he complained to the referee about how he was trying to distract him.  On the other hand, we do need to acknowledge that, as tough as this move from Henderson was, it was a big risk, and could have jeopardized the rest of his career if something had gone wrong. To an extent, we should be happy that players don't have to risk themselves in order to ensure their playing time and pay aren't affected. visual: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QChvNzlLI7A #basketball #sports #news #trending #breakingnews #nba #history #podcast #episode ##blog #update
