Sometimes, things can just disappear from our collective consciousness. We simply forget about them. Sometimes, NBA players get forgotten too.
Remember pet rocks? That was a real thing. Some company was able to convince people to buy rocks. Did you forget about that?
Perhaps a player gets lost in a team’s rotation. Either way, a player that was once a hot commodity can fade into obscurity.
For example, take Robert Covington of the Los Angeles Clippers. At one time, he was seen as one of the best 3-and-D forwards in the NBA.
Somehow, he got lost in the Clippers’ rotation this season.
Could their inner-city rivals revive his career?
