Press Release
Forest City Ratner wants you to know that:
Brooklyn 5th-grade student Alexander Garcia took Nets star Vince Carter to school today.
Ten-year old Alexander, who lives in the neighborhood of Sunset Park, was picked up at his apartment by Carter at 8 a.m. and driven in a limousine to P.S. 282 in Park Slope.
Alexander received this memorable experience thanks to his mother, Evelyn Rivera, who entered Alexander in the second annual "Take-a-Net to School" contest, sponsored by Zebra Pen.
...
“This is a once in a lifetime opportunity,” Alexander said. “I’m a Nets fan.”Alexander added that taking Vince to school would make him very popular with his schoolmates.
NoLandGrab: At the risk of sounding catty, we noticed that the Nets mascot is looking a little ratty (see, tall gray rug next to Carter).
