It’s one thing to make it on an NBA roster, even if you’re at the end of the bench or on a two-way deal. But it’s a whole other thing when you’re on a championship contender and then, it’s still wilder when you’re on the same roster as your idols. That’s the enviable situation four members of the Brooklyn Nets roster find themselves in.
They may spend more of their court time at Nassau Coliseum playing for the Long Island Nets of the G League, but most days, they can look across the court and see Kevin Durant, James Harden and before he was exiled, Kyrie Irving.
