How do you know that Brooklyn Model 2020/21 is really talented? Beyond the numbers (the best offense in history on paper) and the victories that come at a dizzying pace (11 in the last 12 games), the current Brooklyn has three players who on any given day can hear “MVP” chants from the stands, and justify them on the floor with a mesmerizing performance.
After some great performances by James Harden who knew how to take full advantage of Kevin Durant’s absence, tonight it was Kyrie Irving who led Brooklyn to a 109-112 victory over none other than Boston, the last ex. In his first game against the Celtics, held at the start of the season, Kyrie bombed 37 points on 62% from the field, so tonight he decided to raise the bar and score 40 points (equal his season record) on 65% from the field.
To the delight of fans at Barclays Center, tickets for the show they bought also included Money Time, and Kyrie’s transcendence was not long in coming. The guard sniped two threes that brought the Nets closer to victory, and decided the fate of the game with two free throws from the line, during which he won the “MVP” calls.

The commentator Kendrick Perkins Complimented: “Kyrie plays like he’s on a mission. ‘The look in his eyes reminded me of the look I would see in his great mentor Kobe Bryant. 40 points against Boston right after the All-Star break? Wow …”.
