CHICAGO - With one terse G League press release, Kai Sotto saw his cherished NBA dream flash before his eyes. What was supposed to be a storybook journey bypassed triumph and went straight to tragedy last night. Sadly, quickly, it ended before it even barely began. The morning after, a basketball-crazy nation mourns. Wobbling as we rise from our tears-soaked pillows, we deal with a familiar struggle of coping with the reality that this NBA dream that we've kept close to our chests across generations has broken our hearts yet again. My thoughts and prayers go out to Kai, the biggest loser here in this cruel twist of fate. I can only imagine the agony of this very public fall.
