1.) It’s here: the height of the off-season. In these, the dog days, the long stretch of desert between the oases of competitive basketball, we are to be excused if our attention drifts back to Summer League. Summer League was nice, our attention reminds us. Wasn’t that nice?
Other times, we might find ourselves thinking ahead to the Olympic Games. Wouldn’t it be nice, we find ourselves thinking, if the world had a test or two in store for USA Basketball? Wouldn’t that be nice?
Welcome to basketball limbo.
