Ever since I started writing about the Brooklyn Nets, people have been sending me their condolences. “I feel so bad that you have to cover a bad team,” or “Really Brooklyn? That’s the beat they stuck you with?”
But never have I felt bad about covering them. Most of it is because the Brooklyn Nets have the most hopeful and loyal fans throughout the NBA. They stuck by the team as it self-destructed. They believed in a team that did not stand a chance at NBA glory. Heck, they defended it, saying it was all for a better future.
