On episode 44 of The 40/40 Vision Podcast, we examine the Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden era or "error" with the Brooklyn Nets. We start with the arrival of Kyrie through free agency, KD making his way there through a sign and trade, and Harden forcing his way there through spontaneous weight gain and loss, before chronicling each season of this short but incredibly entertaining era of Nets basketball.  We also cover the biggest 'What ifs" of the era including what if KD was one shoe size smaller and if they got the pre-mental breakdown Ben Simmons in exchange for James Harden. This era of NBA basketball gave us plenty to talk about and it ended far sooner than any of us could have predicted way back in 2019.
