It’s hard to believe that the Brooklyn Nets are on the verge of entering a rebuilding phase. The situation has arisen following Kyrie Irving becoming a player of the Dallas Mavericks after a blockbuster trade between the two teams. It was Kyrie himself who asked for a trade and shocked the entire NBA community.

Speaking of the Brooklyn Nets, back in 2021, the franchise created a Big 3 with Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden. But the Big 3, that was expected to lead the Nets to at least a couple of NBA Championships, has utterly disappointed fans.

The full timeline of the downfall of the Nets Big 3 is truly sad. And now only Kevin Durant remains as a member of the original Big 3 of the franchise.


Kendrick Perkins Goes Off On Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, And James Harden

Last season, James Harden demanded a trade ahead of the NBA Trade Deadline, and Kyrie Irving did the same this season. So for a team that was once supposed to be the next dynasty, not even reaching the NBA Finals once was truly a disappointment.

So much so that former NBA player and current analyst Kendrick Perkins even labeled the Big 3 of Durant, Irving, and Harden as the biggest disappointment in the history of the league.

“If you think about what they gave up. They gave up Caris LeVert, they gave up Jarrett Allen, and they gave up some picks to get James Harden. Then you get James Harden and you give him up for Ben Simmons, who has been irrelevant since he got to Brooklyn. And now all of a sudden Kyrie Irving bounce on Kevin Durant who has had his back the entire time throughout all the drama that Kyrie caused. 

This is the biggest disappointment in NBA history when it comes down to a Big 3 like them forming together. They got zero accomplished. Winning no real series. Making into the Conference Finals. Barely even playing games together. Hands down the biggest disappointment I’ve ever seen.”

Perkins didn’t hold back while calling out the Big 3 of the Brooklyn Nets. He labeled them as the biggest disappointment in the history of the NBA. Considering how little they achieved together, it’s certainly not an understatement.
