The Nets are the only team to have been swept in these playoffs, which is a huge humiliation for a franchise that was aiming for the title. A few weeks after the rout, Brooklyn just received a crazy proposal from boxing legend Mike Tyson.
The Nets’ season has been nothing short of abysmal if you compare the expectations of the franchise to the end result… With a team made up of Kevin Durant, one of the three best players on the planet, Kyrie Irving and James Harden, Brooklyn had to aim for the title. But after a multitude of glitches, Steve Nash’s men could not do better than a sweep in the first round of the playoffs against the Celtics.
From a potential dynasty, the Nets have become a team with no certainty about the future, which obviously worries fans. James Harden asked for his trade last winter, and Ben Simmonshis replacement, has still not played any game, when Kyrie Irving could be exchanged or released by his leaders, who no longer trust him following the vaccine scandal.
Mike Tyson offers Nets help for next year
Whatever decision is made regarding Uncle Drew, there is bound to be a change in the roster, and many veterans are expected to flock to join this still talented, if disappointing, group. For example, on Instagram, the Nets just received a huge offer from Mike Tyson, who could see himself signing a 10-day contract in New York.

The Nets, I’m ready for my 10-day contract.
The shooting mechanics are far from perfect, the gesture is not elegant, but it is clear that Mike Tyson is rather skillful with a ball in his hands. It should also be noted that he chained the shots with a joint in the mouth, which adds an even more spectacular dimension to this video. It is obviously inspired by the best, since many players today admit to playing under the influence of marijuana.
On the other hand, not sure that his proposal will succeed, he no longer necessarily has the age to hold on against the young players who are always more athletic. And in a league where fights are no longer tolerated, unlike in the 80s′, it would be quite difficult to find him a role in the team. 30 years earlier, on the other hand, he might have been able to convince the leaders thanks to his aggressiveness, a quality much sought after at the time.
Mike Tyson is ready to sign his first professional contract, and he has made his choice, he wants to play in Brooklyn, in a franchise that is coming out of a big disappointment. Even if he brings nothing to the field, he could still give character to this moribund locker room.
