The first normal offseason in three years has led to some quiet time around the NBA ever since Summer League wrapped up in Las Vegas about a month ago. That finally changed on Wednesday afternoon with the always much-anticipated annual schedule release. As for the Charlotte Hornets, who they’re going to play this season was already pre-determined – the excitement lies in the when, where and even how these games will transpire.

Bill Russell was a pioneer – as a player, as a champion, as the NBA’s first Black head coach and as an activist. He paved the way and set an example for every Black player who came into the league after him, including me. The world has lost a legend. My condolences to his family and may he rest in peace.
