Brooklyn Nets

The Brooklyn Nets were unstoppable. Then, Kyrie Irving returned and Kevin Durant got hurt, and now James Harden has been traded. Was it more than a coincidence?

Here are ten pro athletes in the state of New York who, through either their play or actions in their personal life, are constantly surrounded by controversy.

The last 72 hours in the life of Antonio Brown have been bizarre, and more than anything else, troubling, and it's all happening right here in New York.

It has been a bad decade in New York sports. The New York Giants Super Bowl victory in 2011 is the last major championship in the Big Apple. I say that all changes in 2022! Let's look into our 104.5 The Team crystal ball and see what happens in the New Year!

New York sports in 2021 was fully of drama, progress, disappointment and another year of zero 'Big 4' championships. However, it's always a good year in Big Apple sports. That's because there is always something fun to talk about. There are enough major sports soap operas to interest a few cities, nonetheless one. This year was no different. I'm not going to spoil the ending but you know that somehow COVID 19 will find its way on to our list.

The Brooklyn Nets are bringing the All-Star guard back as a part-time player for games exclusively played outside of New York City, according to sources as told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. "The unfolding circumstances of Brooklyn's season - including injuries, players lost to health and safety protocols and an inordinate minutes load on their superstar players led the team to this move" according to Wojnarowski.

Across the NFL, NBA and NHL, teams in the state of New York are fighting separate battles against outbreaks of COVID-19. It's a frightening time in NY sports.

I laugh when people say that 'the Capital Region is a bad sports town.' Really? When people say that I sometimes feel that they are trying to find something wrong with everything. If you feel like I do, it's time to look at the facts. This is actually a pretty good sports 'town.'

Are you a die-hard fan? Or, are you a passenger on the bandwagon? For one New York team, survey says: bandwagoners as far as the eye can see.

The fight that no one expected, and no one really asked for, is on its way in just over one month, and two former New York athletes are in the center of it all.
