NY Post
If the Nets make it to the finish line, if they make it to the parade, then James Harden will be remembered forever for these three games in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Time was, fans in Brooklyn adopted an athlete based on effort, based on character, based in any number of things. Gil Hodges went 0-for-21 in the 1952 World Series, but his popularity in Brooklyn only soared. Don Newcombe lost a heartbreaking 1-0 decision when Tommy Henrich hit a ninth-inning home run in Newk’s Series deut in 1949; he never came as close to a World Series win, pitched to an 8.59 ERA. It didn’t matter.More Related News
