The United States of America is not the best country in the world. I say that without emotion like I can tell you that the Brooklyn Nets are not the best team in the NBA. Saying as much doesn't mean I hate the Nets or hate Brooklyn or hate the NBA. The Brooklyn Nets may actually be the worst team in the NBA. They should've received the No. 1 pick in this year's draft, but they traded it away years ago for old veterans. They'll lose next year's pick, too. The men they have on the team are great guys. I've come to know several of them. I've also come to know many employees there — great people — all of them. But the team is still in rough shape.
