CHRIS MCCULLOUGH GLIDED through the air for a two-handed stuff at the rim. It was Jan. 12, 2017, and the Long Island Nets' momentum was mounting.
Inside Barclays Center -- the Brooklyn Nets' G League affiliate also called the arena home during its inaugural season -- Long Island was amid a fourth-quarter comeback against the Greensboro Swarm.
Normally, fans would go wild, the collective inhale reverberating as McCullough raced toward the basket. When he finished with 37 points in an overtime win, fans typically would have cheered their star player off the court, screaming for autographs as he exited.
