When it comes to talent, the Brooklyn Nets are probably the best team in the NBA on paper. Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, and James Harden are among the top three greatest offensive players in the game.
When it comes to their personality, however, things are much more complicated.
All three players have a bit of a history of being wacky and weird. Durant has burner accounts, Kyrie is an astrology/conspiracy nut, and James has made his insane facial hair part of his personality.
To one fan, they represent three different types of Brooklyn guys…

Fans in the comments went crazy with reactions, and most of them were pretty entertaining.

The meaning of a Brooklyn guy sure has changed and not for the better.

Of course sometimes in Brooklyn you find someone who fits the mold of all three 😂

It’s only fitting that the Nets would find three guys who fit their stereotypes so well. There’s really no question that it will be a wild and fun ride for the fans.
The mystery here, of course, is what they’ll be able to do on the court. Only time will tell at this point…
