For today’s post, we will discuss one of the NBA’s most disappointing teams. That being, the Brooklyn Nets (“Nets”). This post will be separated into two separate paragraphs. The first will discuss their eventful offseason, and the second will discuss their current state and record. Eventful Offseason: For the  Nets, this past offseason was anything but uneventful. After a disappointing season and playoff run where they would be swept by the Celtics in the first round , the Nets were desperate for answers. Instead of answers, the Nets were faced with unwanted player drama and uncertainty . This drama and uncertainty were due to their two superstars Kyrie Irving (“Irving”) and Kevin Durant(“Durant”) . It all started with Irving; Irving missed the majority of last season due to his refusal to get vaccinated against COVID-19. When playing, Irving would average 27.4 points per game with 5.8 assists.

For today's post, I will write about one of the NBA's most surprising teams. That being the San Antonio Spurs ("Spurs"). This post will be separated into two separate paragraphs. The first, discussing a brief history of the Spurs; and the second discussing the current state of the Spurs. Brief History of the Spurs: The Spurs for many years were the model franchise in the NBA as they were the pillar of consistency and excellence. They won championships in three different decades. These decades are, the 90s,00s, and 10s. In the said period of time, the Spurs won a total of 5 NBA Championships and earned the NBA’s highest win percentage. These championships were won by many legendary former Spurs and NBA Hall of Famers, such as David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, and Tony Parker. With that said, Father Time remains undefeated, and eventually said legends retired. Specifically, for the Spurs, things have not been the same since the end of the Big 3 era, which off
