The Brooklyn Nets are running on all cylinders, winning their last 11 games, on their way to making it number 12. The Nets go up against the San Antonio Spurs, a game for which Brooklyn is heavily favoured. But there seemed to be another future legend in attendance as the French soccer star Kylian Mbappe was seen sitting courtside at Barclays center.
The fact that Mbappe came to attend a Nets game instead of a Lakers game or a Warriors game goes to speak volumes about the success the Nets have had over the past few weeks.?

The Brooklyn Nets will be going home with another victory, defeating the San Antonio Spurs who are currently in rebuilding mode. And to see Kylian Mbappe come to a team?s game that has been fairly successful over the past few weeks after being handed a loss in the World Cup may just mean that the soccer star wants to see the team he supports winning.
Fans however chose to troll Kevin Durant and Mbappe a little as they saw him sitting courtside with fellow soccer player, Achraf Hakimi.?
One fan tweeted, ?How much help does KD need.? This tweet would?ve been relevant in the early stages of the season when the Nets were struggling. Not so much anymore.

The Brooklyn Nets have finally been able to put things aside to focus their success on the court. Despite multiple changes to the roster in the past few years, the Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant duo has finally been able to find its groove.
The Nets have two of the best scorers in the league right now. Kevin Durant is averaging 29.7 PPG whereas Irving is averaging a healthy 26.2 points per game. But the area of concern is the team has no one else to take on the scoring load apart from them.

If in the future, any one of these two stars gets sidelined due to whatever reason, it will affect the chances for the Nets to win games. The next player on the roster to average the highest point average behind Irving and Durant is the Nets center, Nicholas Claxton with 12.0 PPG.
