As the anticipation builds for the second game of the Emirates NBA Cup, the Brooklyn Nets are set to face off against the Orlando Magic this Friday night in Orlando. This matchup promises to showcase not just the talent of both teams but also the strategies they employ in this early season contest.

Kyrie Irving opened up about seeking inspiration from the YouTube videos of certain NBA players when it came to his development as a player.

He has shown when he gets the keys to the engine, he can produce.”
