Ben Simmons, the Nets and the known unknowns

Back in 2002, at the beginning of the Iraq War, then Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was asked about the lack of evidence linking the government of Iraq with the supply of WMD to terrorist groups.

“Reports that say that something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know we don’t know.”

The Ben Simmons saga is not as momentous and basketball is a game not a war, but the vibes around the HSS Training Center Thursday were very Rumsfeldian.
