Fashion Report

John Collins is wearing a shirt of the time John Collins dunked on Joel Embiid. His head is tilted towards the lights. Life is serene. The meta-game is serene. “In this game, sit back, be patient,” Migos says, and it looks like Collins is heeding that advice. We wouldn’t have the same reaction if Dame made a shirt out of his game winner over OKC, but that’s because Dame moves in silence. Collins has hops. Each player is entitled to their own form of serenity and rest before returning to climb — as Ross Gay put it in the book-length poem Be Holding — “a great staircase made of air with joy.”
