It was a dreary, raining Tuesday morning as Kyle Okposo drove from his home on Long Island into his new professional home in Brooklyn. Before he approached Atlantic Avenue and the swirling rust-colored behemoth of Barclays Center, the longtime Islanders forward from Minnesota had a rare moment of reflection amid the din of the postseason.
“Just on the drive over here, I was thinking about just being a kid from St. Paul, and now I’m driving in New York City and completely comfortable with it,” Okposo told The Post. “Like, how does that happen?”
It’s been a long road for Okposo, from his two years at University of Minnesota, to being drafted No.
