When the Lakers went into their final game of the preseason against the Sacramento Kings with nearly their entire roster available — minus LeBron James, obviously — it was largely believed this would be a dress rehearsal for their season opener that would come only four days later. Head coach JJ Redick intimated as much […]

Before looking for a featured image for this writeup, I hadn’t realized Cotton Nash was also a professional basketball player.
