Brooklyn Nets’ hired Hall of Famer Steve Nash as their new head coach last month, but it appears that the two-times NBA MVP might have some trouble to exert his authority in the locker room. Especially since his two main players feel like they don’t have a head coach.

Kyrie Irving recently made an appearance on his teammate Kevin Durant’s The Etcs podcast, where the two All-Stars discussed the hiring of Nash.

“I don’t really see us having a head coach,” said Irving. “KD could be a head coach, I could be a head coach [some days].”

Durant followed up on Irving’s comment by saying that a number of people, including assistant Jacque Vaughn, could take on the role at some point.

“It’s a collaborative effort,” he added.

Despite not perceiving Steve Nash as an authoritative figure, the duo spoke candidly about the former Phoenix Suns guard.

“Steve is great, and I have a relationship with him that’s going to build over time, bro,” Irving added. “Steve don’t know me from anything he heard or he’s heard someone else. We’ve worked out one time in 2014, but it’s grown as just a respectful relationship from afar.”

Despite not having prior head coaching experience, Nash worked with several successful NBA organizations in various roles since retirement. The Nets now hope that he can use that experience and his leadership capabilities to bring success to a talented team that will most certainly have title aspirations next season.

In the past few days, Brooklyn Nets’ superstar Kyrie Irving emerged as the most prominent voice against NBA’s plan to resume the 2019/20 season in a “bubble” setting. And, according to reports, Irving isn’t just lobbying for players to boycott the league’s plan but is also pushing an intriguing alternative.

According to New York Daily News’ Stefan Bondy, Irving recently had a group chat with his teammates and tried to convince them to skip the proposed resume of the season. Also, the 28-year-old All-Star suggested that the players should start their own league.

Bondy later followed up on his original report, saying that Irving’s proposal “is not necessarily” in response NBA’s plan to wrap up 2019/20 at Disneyworld in Orlando. This indicates that Irving possibly thinks about forming a long-term alternative to the NBA.

Last week, Kyrie Irving led a conference call that featured approximately 80 NBA players, during which he strongly advocated that they shouldn’t join their teams in Orlando and focus instead on the fight against racial injustice in the wake of current social unrest in the United States. This group of players, featuring LA Lakers’ Dwight Howard and Avery Bradley among others, later issued a statement about the matter and NBA’s role in it.

Irving himself was already ruled out from the trip to Orlando, as he underwent a season-ending shoulder injury. His Brooklyn Nets are currently seventh seed in the East and will most likely make the playoffs.
