Jay Caspian Kang on Kwame Brown the NBA player and Kwame Brown the symbol - Grantland

The writing on Grantland.com is really exceptional. I enjoyed this article a lot.

Jay Caspian Kang on Kwame Brown the NBA player and Kwame Brown the symbol - Grantland:
"There is a moment in the life of every sports fan when you must come to terms with the mathematically irrefutable, yet somehow still surreal fact that the athletes on the court or field or ice are younger than you.1 It's a particularly brutal landmark — youth shifts out from under your feet and the future doesn't seem as limitless as it once did. Some kid is doing something you'll never do and making money you'll never make."
