Hero ball? Don’t expect it
Whenever there are star-laden rosters rolled out in the NBA, skeptics of said rosters often have the same critiques. “There’s only one ball.” “Too many egos.” “Good luck getting that guy to take a back seat to anyone.” The NBA has long been powered by its stars and while it seems as if the narrative […]
