The Brooklyn Nets have been on fire to start their season. Notably, Kevin Durant is going off leading the Nets with his dominance. However, they still aren’t in full force with Kyrie Irving still not playing. But, Chicago legend, Scottie Pippen had an interesting take on Durant and the Nets to win the championship.

Durant is truly showing out this season, even leading the race for MVP. the ‘Slim Reaper’ is handling the majority of the Nets’ offense while also being a leading rebounder. However, Harden is still in his recovery process and hasn’t returned to being himself. But, if he does, Scottie believes the Brooklyn Nets can win the championship.

Coming in as one of the favorites to win, why does Pippen think the Nets can win without Kyrie?

Scottie Pippen calls Kevin Durant unstoppable

Recently, Pippen was in an interview when he was asked about the Nets. the question was do Brooklyn need the services of Kyrie Irving to win it all. Pippen responded by saying if Harden gets in shape, they can do it all without Kyrie. And his main reason was the dominance of Durant.

Scottie said: “Not if James Harden can get in shape. I’m not going to say they can win without him. He definitely is a guy that can help them. But Kevin Durant right now is an unstoppable player, and we started to see this last year in the playoffs. If he continues on this kind of role and starts to utilize his team a little bit better, I think they can possibly win without him.”

“Kevin Durant right now is an unstoppable player.”

Currently, Durant is one of the leading scorers in the NBA putting up 29.5 points per game. His contribution on the offensive end is unmatched as he is shooting 56% which is the best for his career. While Harden isn’t on his offensive peak, his services as a point guard are on display every night dishing out assists and getting everyone involved.

However, Irving’s impact can’t be ignored. Not only is he a talented scorer but Kyrie is one of the best players in crunch time around the league. He led the Nets in scoring last year and is definitely an important piece to any lineup. Do you agree with Scottie Pippen on this take? Let us know in the comments below.
