Ben Simmons believes that the Brooklyn Nets can still be the best in the league despite their struggling start with a 1-5 record.

The Brooklyn Nets have not started their season in the best of ways. After an off-season that saw the owner Joe Tsai and the franchise hierarchy go loggerheads with star player Kevin Durant after the latter handed in a trade request, they initially found middle ground with Durant changing his mind to play out the season with the Nets. However, it has not been a great start to their season.

The Nets started their season with a loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, but won their first game of the season in the next game against the Toronto Raptors. However, they followed that up with four consecutive defeats to the Memphis Grizzlies, the Milwaukee Bucks, the Dallas Mavericks and most recently the Indiana Pacers – meaning they have got on to an underwhelming 1-5 start.

“F*** yeah! I believe we can be the best team in the NBA.”
