Brooklyn, NY, its own city within one of the biggest cities on earth. Brooklyn, where the basketball courts are never empty and always seem filled with kids who take jumpers and moves in honor of their favorite players. 10 years ago, some of you may have seen a young, brash, guard named Lance Stephenson take the courts with vigor and pride as he tried to dominate every opponent that was against him. No matter what age his opponent was, he attacked with ferocity and little fear.
Less than two weeks ago, Jason Kidd retired from the NBA as a player. He’s already back but this time he’s traded in his jersey for a suit as he mans the sidelines for the Brooklyn Nets, the franchise he led to back to back Finals appearances in 2001 and 2002. Kidd will be the 18th coach in franchise history and the fourth person to become a head coach the season after retiring. Of the previous three, only Mike Dunleavy had a record above .500. I guess it helps to have guys like Magic Johnson, James Worthy and Sam Perkins.
