They started the season 0-19, setting a record for the poorest start in league history, and have won 4 games since – which is sort of miraculous, because, I mean… they’re awful. So how does this relate to SpeakEasy? In our film, we have a small section (for now) about motivational speakers, and indeed the World Championships of Public Speaking could be looked at as an amateur motivational speaking contest. Most speeches are, at least, written to impart life wisdom and help the audience in some or another. And so, a motivational speaker has come to rescue the New Jersey Nets!
