That’s Nets rookie Markel Brown up there, both in this post and in the air.
It’s Markel Brown’s Birthday! Should He Play More?

BLOOPER: Marcin Gortat scores accidentally for Nets
Marcin Gortat had just a little bit of trouble controlling a rebound off a missed free throw, accidentally tipping in two points for the Nets in the first quarter to put the Nets up 26-21. My favorite part of this video is Brook Lopez, who made sure the referees knew that the points were his.
Mason Plumlee leaves Zach Randolph in the dust for dunk (HIGHLIGHT)
Mason Plumlee got off to a fast start in the first quarter. After a reverse dunk (!EELMULPNOSAM) and a breakaway steal ending in a two-handed slam, Plumlee made a quick spin-move that left Zach Randolph frozen and finished with a thunderous jam. Plumlee is shooting 68.9 percent in his last 18 games.
Brook Lopez throws down over Nerlens Noel (HIGHLIGHT)
Brook Lopez didn’t take long to make up for a turnover on the Nets’ first possession against the 76ers: after an excellent head fake, Lopez ended a drive to the hoop with an impressive one-handed tomahawk jam over Nerlens Noel. Good start!
Mason Plumlee posterizes Tyler Zeller (HIGHLIGHT)
Sorry, Mr. Zeller — you’ve been posterized. It didn’t take long for Kevin Garnett to return the favor to Mason Plumlee from the behind-the-back gift he received earlier: with Plumlee camping out on the baseline, Garnett found the big man in time for him to slam it home over Tyler Zeller, who was merely collateral […]
Mason Plumlee goes behind-the-back for the assist (HIGHLIGHT)
Surprise! Just when the Nets offense begun to look stagnant, Mason Plumlee pulled some trickery with a pinpoint, behind-the-back pass to Kevin Garnett who promptly finished the transaction. The Nets have assisted on 11 of their first 14 field goals, despite struggling on offense in the first half with just 39 points. Garnett has played […]
Video: Joe Cool Does Joe Cool Things
1-22 from behind the arc? Not a problem for Joe Johnson. Johnson, known for his clutch play, hit two big threes to bring the Nets within two in Brooklyn’s loss to the Mavs. Jarrett Jack would later tie the game, and the Nets would lose in overtime. But let’s just relish is Joe being Joe.
Video: Brook Lopez Lights Up Mavs for 18 in the First Quarter
You can’t stop Brook Lopez when he gets hot. After Lionel Hollins announced that Lopez and Mason Plumlee would both start, the big man came out firing and scored 18 points in the first quarter. It was the highest total by a Net in the first quarter this season. The great Ian Eagle wondered if […]
Video: Kevin Garnett: “I’M GOOD! I’M GOOD! I’M GOOD!”
I dunno, you guys, I think Kevin Garnett thinks he’s good.
Mason Plumlee Blocks On One End, Slams On The Other
Brooklyn Nets center Mason Plumlee has had quite the resurgence in the past month, earning and holding onto his spot as starting center, and it’s for things like this: Plumlee rose up to swat away Kyle O’Quinn’s floater attempt, ran the floor hard (you can see him barreling to the rim as soon as half-court), […]
Kevin Garnett: “I know I’m 150 years old… but I can actually dunk”
Kevin Garnett turned back the clock Monday night, creating a ferocious alley-oop slam for himself by hustling down a loose ball on the defensive end and running the floor with Sergey Karasev. The dunk got the bench’s attention, as well as the press crew, who asked Garnett about it after the game. Garnett had quite […]
Kevin Garnett blows in David West’s ear, draws shove & tech (VIDEO)
Kevin Garnett is notorious around the league for a defensive style that harasses and frequently irritates his opponents, but midway through the first quarter he took a page out of ex-Pacers guard Lance Stephenson’s book by blowing in David West’s ear. West after the game said he thought Lance Stephenson’s blow was “more sensual”: David […]
