It was a balmy Wednesday afternoon in Los Angeles when Thomas Bryant fell into a time warp.
Sporting a familiar looking hat in front of the local media, Bryant suddenly found himself back where his basketball career started. The same Lakers emblem that once represented the manifestation of a lifelong dream again surrounded him from every corner of his introductory press conference.
The purple and gold insignia that lined his hat and interview background was proof that his past had caught up to his present. A ripple in time and space. His chance at a do-over.
