We were all moving kinda slowly. There were some friends of friends who’d heard we were bringing Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart and Donte DiVincenzo to this gym in Connecticut. A small group of people popped up asking for photos and for autographs. The guys were cool about it. They smiled, they listened, they signed. There was no real sense of urgency, which was fine with us. Comfortability is a big key to what we do. We like when players are feeling free. It was Donte who first made the move to switch into his uniform. He broke from the group of people to ask about a bathroom. All of a sudden, Jalen was by his side, grabbing Donte’s jersey from the chair it was hanging on. Jalen quickly took off his shirt and threw on his teammate’s jersey. He made his way back to the group, laughing alongside everyone else when they realized what was happening. That’s when we realized what was happening.
These guys are friends.
Sounds…
