Some events are seismic, same in the NBA. They’re the type of events that make people say “this changes everything”.
The dissolution of the Soviet Union. The invention of the printing press. The first slicing of a loaf of bread. These are events that changed the world.

Unfortunately, that event can sometimes be an injury. The Phoenix Suns are feeling the significance of such an event right now. With Cameron Johnson expected to miss most of the season, everything has changed for this organization.
