“Nothing is flawed. Nothing occurred. Kent is adamant his departure isn’t rooted in household drama. The alternative, he assures.” Thompson wrote. “He loves this a lot. Basketball. The Warriors. The household delight. The strain to take care of the usual of excellence they’ve constructed.
“All the time competing with the privilege, although, is a tugging at his core. The a part of him that’s totally conscious that each door he walks by means of is already open. His quiet disdain for the nepotism prices he can by no means shake, irrespective of how laborious he works. Kent is a basketball nut who generally can’t consider the dream he’s dwelling, working within the entrance workplace of the NBA. However even the glow of the Warriors can’t rid the shadow of his father’s enormity.”
There ought to be no disgrace in Kent that he’s attempting to construct a lifetime of his personal. Sooner or later, there may have been an opportunity that he inherited the workforce from his father, nevertheless it does not seem to be that is one thing he is taking a look at proper now.
