“#\u2018Sky\u2019s the limit\u2019 for Nets despite struggles<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Derrick Coleman is one of the most talented players ever to put on a Nets jersey, and he sees so much talent on the current squad he says the sky is the limit. Well, at least an NBA Finals is the limit, if the Nets can shore up that leaky defense.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe potential is the sky\u2019s the limit with that team,\u201d Coleman said of a team featuring Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, the latter currently under COVID-19 quarantine. \u201cI just see the struggles right now just going to be better for you later on in the season. Just have to keep continuing to work.<\/p>\n

\u201cKevin [Durant] is going to be one of the greatest scores we\u2019ve ever seen play the game<\/a>. To me right now, nobody can mess with Kyrie Irving; he comes from a lineage of point guards. When your godfather is Rod Strickland, I need not say any more about that. But we have to really concentrate and focus on the defensive end of the basketball court and talking.\u201d<\/p>\n

Throughout their NBA history, the Nets have only enjoyed two other eras with a pair of All-Stars in their primes together. Jason Kidd paired with Kenyon Martin (2004) and then Vince Carter (2007); and before that it was Coleman teaming up with Kenny Anderson (1994) in the Meadowlands.<\/p>\n

Now, with the Nets finally embracing their New Jersey roots \u2014 donning a retro tie-dye jersey for Thursday\u2019s game vs. the 76ers \u2014 the All-Star big man who made the original version look cool looks at the newest iteration of the team and says it can reach the franchise\u2019s first Finals since 2002 and \u201903.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can see us coming out of the East,\u201d Coleman said. \u201cI don\u2019t know if we\u2019re able to win the championship right now. But all that goes back to where you don\u2019t have a real training camp, you got a brand-new coach, so listening to his philosophies about the game of basketball. Also, you got to create that chemistry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coleman said he was proud of what Caris LeVert accomplished last season but has to adjust after having been the Nets\u2019 leader in the bubble. He gushed over center Jarrett Allen and echoed much of the fan base, saying, \u201cI love his energy. I love what he brings to the table. I don\u2019t know why he\u2019s not starting.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the Nets bringing back the tie-dye uniform first worn 30 years ago in 1990-91, Coleman said despite having initial reservations he came to love the look.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen they first displayed those uniforms, the first words out of my mouth was everybody around the league is going to look at us as soft with the tie-dye uniform. But as the season progressed, we started getting a lot of feedback about how popular it really, really was,\u201d said Coleman. \u201cAs we started to progress and we started to win a little bit more, they were like \u2018yo, those uniforms are cool.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was great man. Like I said, it became so popular. When we got away from it, I was really looking forward to wearing [them] the next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now Coleman will see Irving and the Nets wear them Thursday, and presumably Durant when he returns from quarantine. The throwbacks feature a sky blue-to-white gradient, with a tie-dye pattern running through both the shorts and the jersey, which rocks NETS across the chest.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything goes full circle. Even before they came back, people would always ask me about them, like hey D, you got that tie-dye jersey?\u201d Coleman laughed.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I knew eventually it will come back, the retrofit. Guys love it. It started out, I hated it because we\u2019re going to be the laughing joke of the NBA. But it grew on us. Guys cracked jokes but it\u2019s so popular now the retro, people inbox me all the time on social media<\/a> like man, can I get one of those jerseys? Very popular.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
