The lifting of the mandate means Irving can play everywhere except Toronto now. Yet you could still argue that last week was the best week of Brooklyn's circus-like season. 8 in the East and fall to 9-13 in the mere 22 games that Irving has played this season. The Nets lost to Charlotte to remain mired at No. Irving played his first home game of the season Sunday after New York Mayor Eric Adams made athletes and entertainers exempt from the city's COVID-19 vaccine mandate. This was a lighter pathway than usual to get to talking about the Nets, who remain endlessly complicated to analyze even now, nearly two months removed from the trade that sent Harden to Philadelphia and ended Brooklyn's own answer to the Electro, Vulture and Gobby experiment after just 13 months and a miserly 16 games shared on the court together. (The variety of villains! The amazing array of voices! The trash talk! Ray Ellis’ peerless soundtrack!)Ģ.

Watching Electro, Vulture and Goblin implode like that - largely because of ego when they seemingly couldn't lose - clearly left an unshakable impression on me.įor your reference, YouTube has the scene clipped that gave us the image we constantly see on #NBATwitter and many, many other Twitters:ġ. I'm still a child inside who has endless love and appreciation (for the first season especially) for Stan Lee's original Spider-Man TV series. Weakened and dazed but realizing that his best shot to dismantle the triumvirate was trying to turn them against each other, Spider-Man employed ventriloquism to spark the infighting among the villains that enabled him to ultimately capture all three as well as Boddy. Noah Boddy, one of Spider-Man's arch enemies, hatched a plan to help Electro, The Green Goblin and The Vulture escape from prison and ultimately destroy Spider-Man using new weapons Boddy developed for them. no matter what superpowers or how much superskill is possessed by the trio.įor those who aren't old (or warped) enough to remember 'To Catch a Spider,' allow me to reset the scene for you: Dr. It was watching that installment in syndication in the late 1970s, since I wasn’t born yet when it debuted, that steered me to question the Durant/Harden/Irving Nets from the jump, since it was the first time I saw with my own eyes that it’s really hard to make a superstar trio work.

And then there is the lesser-known episode that preceded it - 'To Catch a Spider' - which is my absolute favorite and, as I recently realized, helped shape my views on Big Threes forever.

There is the Spider-Man Pointing At Spider-Man meme that is stunningly commonplace in 2022, as every NBA fan on social media knows, from an episode called 'Double Trouble' that featured a Spider-Man impersonator named Charles Cameo. 13, 1968, endure in this twisted brain to this day. In what shall forever rank on this scorecard as the greatest half-hour in the history of animation, two frames from two separate stories that originally aired on Jan. If you want to get technical, yes, I'm referring to what they used to call a cartoon in my youth.

From the Now It Can Be Told Department: The original animated Spider-Man and one of his most unforgettable adventures contributed heavily to my skepticism that the Kevin Durant/James Harden/Kyrie Irving trio could establish a working coexistence in Brooklyn.
