The Score: Not-so Stern on Nets
NY Daily News
By Michael O'Keeffe
The battle over Bruce Ratner's $4.2 billion Atlantic Yards project has left bitter divisions in Brooklyn, but NBA commissioner David Stern says he has not advised the Nets owner to scale back the project or take other steps to ease community concerns.
"That will be resolved by the appropriate parties, the various government agencies," Stern said after his own "CenterStage" taping this week.
Ratner may be eager to get out of New Jersey, but Stern says the low-attendance Nets have proved the state can't support an NBA team. "I don't think that there's an NBA team in its future," Stern says.
