ESSAY: The Brooklyn Nets, Steve Nash, and race

It seems that every summer, the Brooklyn Nets find themselves at the center of basketball news. Last summer, it was the ”Clean Sweep” that brought Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and DeAndre Jordan to Brooklyn as free agents. This time around, the team shocked everyone by hiring basketball Hall of Famer Steve Nash seemingly out of nowhere.

Unlike the “Clean Sweep,” this move is being met with as many questions as good feelings.

Dating back to as far back as any of us can remember, the NBA has been a Black league.
