It’s not a China thing, and honestly, it’s not even a basketball thing - it’s bigger than that. Every CSB reader deserves to check out this story. It’s must-read stuff: the New York Times’ story on Utah Jazz guard Derek Fisher and how he and his family are dealing with his ten-month-old daughter’s cancer diagnosis, right in the middle of the biggest Jazz postseason in a decade. Kudos to the Times for excellent, in-depth reporting on a rare form of eye cancer and Fisher’s struggle to make the right decision for his daughter.
