Nets' Kevin Durant, Paul Pierce, others on B/R's Top 100 NBA Players

Bleacher Report has released its list of the top 100 NBA players of all time, featuring 10 former Brooklyn Nets players. Kevin Durant headlines the Nets representatives, having been part of one of the franchise's most exciting eras.

The full roster of Nets on the list includes Kevin Garnett, Julius Erving, Jason Kidd, James Harden, Rick Barry, Paul Pierce, Vince Carter, Kyrie Irving, and Bernard King. The article notes that players like Garnett and Harden are primarily associated with other teams they spent more time with, whereas Erving, Kidd, Carter, and King are typically remembered first as Nets.

Ironically, Durant, Irving, and Harden—despite forming a trio of dominant players at their peak—only managed to reach the second round of the playoffs during their Nets tenure. While all-time NBA lists often feature Lakers or Celtics players due to franchise histories, the Nets have still seen numerous legends wear their uniform since the team's inception.
