“#Nets’ Big 3 has taken a quantum leap<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Much has been made about how little time Brooklyn\u2019s Big 3 has gotten to build chemistry. But they have taken a quantum leap the past few weeks, with a historically dominant playoff series<\/a> to show it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve made strides in a short period of time,\u201d Kyrie Irving said. \u201cIt feels like three weeks ago we were talking about getting on the same page, doing the little things in order for us to win.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kevin Durant, James Harden and Irving averaged 85.2 points in the first-round series gentleman\u2019s sweep of Boston, the highest-scoring series for a trio in NBA history (minimum four game<\/a>s played), according to Elias Sports Bureau.<\/p>\n

They broke the record set by Elgin Baylor, Jerry West and Rudy LaRusso, who averaged 84.2 points for the Lakers against the Pistons in the 1962 Western Division Finals.<\/p>\n

But after injuries, absences and COVID-19 quarantines robbed them of almost all of the regular season, Irving, Harden and Durant are just happ<\/a>y to finally be together.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not even about the playoff run, it\u2019s just us. When I first got traded here, the excitement in the vision of us playing together, that\u2019s what we were missing the whole season,\u201d Harden said. \u201cThat\u2019s what was more exciting. We weren\u2019t even worried about the playoff run, we were just happy to be on the court together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harden had only returned on May 12 from hamstring woes that cost him 18 straight games. Limited to just 202 minutes over eight regular-season games, the Big 3 has rapidly built chemistry in the five postseason tilts since.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t want to take any of this time for granted, and we know this doesn\u2019t happen too often in our culture, in our history, where three of the best scorers to ever play the game are on one team,\u201d Irving said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish I could pinpoint exactly when things progressed for us other than just getting more experience throughout this journey. The last few weeks a lot has changed, just because we had a different focus than the regular season. \u2026 Then being on the road in Boston, we had no choice but to come together and make sure we were hitting on all cylinders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Durant-owned Thirty Five Ventures and Sabrina Ionescu announced a partnership in which the Liberty star will be an ambassador for the company and a strategic partner.<\/p>\n

\u201cSabrina is a generational talent on the court, and it\u2019s already clear that she moves different in the business world as well. We\u2019re excited to build something special together,\u201d Durant said.<\/p>\n

Ionescu will work with \u201cBoardroom\u201d on content, events and editorial, including a collaboration with Durant. She also will become a strategic partner to Thirty Five Ventures, giving her visibility and access to stakeholders and venture capital.<\/p>\n

\u201cKD and Rich [Kleiman] have built something incredible with Thirty Five Ventures and \u2018Boardroom\u2019 and I\u2019m excited to be a part of it first-hand as I expand my business off the court,\u201d Ionescu said. \u201cWith KD and I both playing in New York it provides the unique opportunity for us to collaborate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nets assistant Ime Udoka is expected to be a candidate for the Boston head-coaching job, according to Sports Illustrated. Jason Kidd is also believed to be a top contender.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
