The season of giving is officially upon us and it’s safe to say I’m in the spirit. Already, my apartment looks like an overzealous Macy’s department store; it’s decked out with Christmas lights for all of Bushwick to see.
It appears I’m not the only one who’s preemptively full of seasonal tidings. The Brooklyn Nets, they decided to drop two early presents in our stockings: A giant, (almost) superfluous pile of coal following the beatdown in Toronto, and a shimmering, emotional win against the playoff-rival Philadelphia 76ers. To celebrate, I’m highlighting two players who have shone brilliantly like treetop stars, and two that have resembled basketball-dribbling grinches.
