The Bridge: All-Access | “Everyone Getting Better,” Nets Win 6 Out of 7 & More
Episode 3 of The Bridge goes inside the Nets’ focus on improvement through radical truth and transparency, toughness, and maintaining composure. Featuring an exclusive access from team film sessions and a 4-1 homestand at Barclays Center.
The Brooklyn Nets have been one of the best underdog teams in the past decade or so but especially after the end of the failed superstar era that never really was, this new core has really brought fun competitive energetic basketball back to Brooklyn 🔥…
For people who are unsure about this team's future here are some important notes:
Brooklyn finally has a coach in Jacque Vaughn who has a "Radical Truth" philosophy that the team has bought into and is playing improved cohesive competitive team style basketball.
A new core of hard working players and skilled craftsmen in Mikal Bridges Cam Johnson Nic Claxton Cam Thomas Dayron Sharpe Lonnie Walker lV and Trendon Watford.
A veteran group of balanced defenders and professional competitors in Spencer Dinwiddie Dennis Smith Jr. Royce O Neale and Dorian Finney Smith.
And the most draft capital in the Eastern Conference.
This team has the pieces to build up a real contending squad that the Brooklyn fanbase could be proud of one day….
I understand that some people don't think Coach Vaughn is a championship coach but considering when Brooklyn was spiraling last November with the Kyrie drama and Nash getting fired, Vaughn was thrown into an interim coach role.
And instead of putting his hands into his pockets and just going about his business, he pulled that past iteration together and was very truthful and transparent with them saying they were not playing to their expectations and needed to play together as a group.
Not only did they listen to Vaughn, but he became the head coach and helped lead the team to a 12-0 run at one point.
In this new era for Brooklyn, he's continued to challenge his new core but he's also put trust into them like Thomas and Sharpe who are mostly delivering on that trust….
Coach Vaughn is the coach Brooklyn needs and he's definitely put in the work to set a standard for this team and they have been getting some good results because of it….
This team gives off heavy 2019 vibes in the sense that there’s actual chemistry and these guys seem very tight-knit. The energy is positive and Mikal’s doing great as a leader for the first time in his career. It feels like these guys actually want to be here and want to create a winning culture, unlike the chaos that was the Big 3. We did win games, but it just didn’t feel right to me and I know others feel the same. This team now has depth, plenty of talent, chemistry, and positivity moving forward. Marks knows how to move and trade for pieces. Underrated GM.
In the joint season ending press conference with Sean Marks and Jacque Vaughn last season, they laid out a map of the strategy the Nets would take going forward. Not making any impulsive trades, that would land us in repeater tax hell, acquiring high character players, and using our draft picks instead of trading them away. We stuck to the script and the results are where we're are today. I'm optimistic about the Nets direction.
I got tears in my eyes i love this team 😭 I can see this Nets team using a similar strategy as the Kings, building a winning culture with guys who ACTUALLY want to be here. And with Mikal leading the team, I would love for him to lead the Nets to a championship one day.
i LOVE THIS TEAM! This team will shock the NBA! You can really see the more time they have together they have been becoming even more cohesive. Ball moving around, leading to baskets. It usually takes a lot of time, but this team is really coming together fast. We are ahead of schedule. So much more fun to watch, than watching iso ball. I am loving the fast pace energy this team brings on both side of the court. We are going places this year! LET'S GO NETS!
are you worried about sharing strategy with opponents? i am learning stuff. This is A plus content. 🏀i love that this “in season tournament” has given people days off but I hate back to back games. Could we compromise and end the tournament to conference winners and keep games to home courts. (if you would indulge me) To turn up competition up a bit, have the 7 best players, determined by plus/minus compete in a round robin All Star game in each conference. (3 games 16 minutes)
I love these videos and I love this team. Thanks for letting us see what goes on behind the scenes. Jacque Vaughn is instituting a new team culture that emphasizes communication with one another, accountability, hard work and a total team effort. Everybody is buying in and the team chemistry seems off the chart. I love it. I follow the social media of several other NBA teams, including that team that plays in Manhattan, and trust me, the chemistry over there is not the same. There are guys there grumbling about playing time and questioning decisions that have been made regarding the lineup. If nothing else, descension is not an issue here. This west coast trip will be crucial to seeing how far they can climb. I think they're up to the task. Let's go, Nets!
Brooklyn Nets are doing good because they don't have to worry about stars. Even though in sports, there's no such thing as stars. There's athletes, professional athletes, and that's what Brooklyn is right now is a team. That came together at the athlete. No one's a star. Everybody's one as a team. And they're goingna open a lot of eyes. This year you'll see and a defense is gonna be the best to compliment the office but the most void a defense it's was gonna shock a lot of people gonna bring that true Brooklyn. Like I said, remember there's no such thing as superstars. They athletes professional, and that's why basketball the way it is now separate players from another. And it's a shame that professional athletes don't see that that way
I feel we're just one big piece away from being true contenders. My hope is that we can get Anfernee Simons from Portland, not only young, but is quickly turning into a breakout star in the league. Trae Young can also mold into this offense well. We have the assets, we have the draft capital, why not make a push.
Thank you to the Nets media crew for these high quality productions on multiple media and social media platorms. I'm loving the insight from this video. Radical truth and transparency, EGB everyone get better.

Great video but for the next video cut Ben scenes
Broooklyyyyn
Keep this group, keep doing what you're doing, and let them BE … they're special TOGETHER. You'll see.
As we all nets fan here . Let's work on EGB . Let's go nets
JV is a DAMN GREAT COACH !!!
Nets world 🌎🤍🖤🗽🤞🏾💯🏴☠️🐐
I just heard coach JV refer to Trendon Watford as T-Wat and I don't think he realises why that's an unfortunate nickname to give someone.
This team is way better without Simmons

This is easily the most fun version of the Nets we've seen in years. No stress and drama from the superstar era, just good vibes and team chemistry.
