What a long strange trip it’s been.
When I wrote Part 1 of this piece on Brooklyn’s odd season back in March, I left off by saying:
Life just started spiraling out of control, more players testing positive for the virus, including four Nets players, Kevin Durant included. Life hasn’t been the same and there’s no saying when we’ll find normalcy as a community, as a country or globally. We’re in unchartered waters and we need leadership now more than ever.
All things considered, the NBA moved on and so did the Nets, but the series of unfortunate events certainly continued — “10 months filled with bad news and bad luck, peppered by some feel-good stories of personal charity and noble experiments,” as we noted in a tweet this weekend.
