It’s more than an irony that on the fifth anniversary of his hiring, Sean Marks is leading his Brooklyn Nets into Staples Center for a battle of championship contenders. It’s a wonder!
It was February 18, 2016 when MIkhail Prokhorov handed him the keys to the HSS Training Center, opened the day before, after a weird 24-hour delay. The Nets had offered the job to Marks, then assistant GM of the Spurs, but there had been a wrinkle, measured in dollars and cents, that took a day to iron out. It led a very Net-sy moment.
