ORLANDO – The guys two and three times their age asking Stanley Johnson and Justise Winslow about their Summer League, ahem, “showdown” should have the sense of teenagers – or, at least, these two particular teenagers.
Winslow’s Heat beat Johnson’s Pistons 78-73 on Monday and maybe someday that will be a footnote to their fairly remarkable parallel stories. But probably not. If their careers are headed where they appear to be going, no one’s going to much care about a Summer League first meeting between players who at various times have been teammates and rivals since they were elementary schoolers.
