“I’ve done a lot of school appearances, but I’ve never seen energy and excitement in kids like this before,” said Carter, who seemed visibly moved by the taste of Brooklyn-style emotion.

The Nets’ mascot, “Fox” whipped everybody into a frenzy, seemingly a preview of the Nets expected move to Brooklyn for the 2009-10 season.“The Nets are committed to providing unprecedented access for our fans throughout the metropolitan are, and you can’t have much more access than going to school with Vince Carter,” said Nets CEO Brett Yormark in a statement.
Carter should also try tasting the "Brooklyn-style emotion" of the displaced and proposed-to-be displaced residents of the footprint. And it has to be asked, are the children being given "access" to the Nets or are the Nets being given "access" to the children? But we are glad the article explains that the mascot is a "fox" as opposed to what our original guess was.
