Brooklyn Kids Get Royal Treatment From Nets at Free Clinic
Brooklyn Daily Eagle
By John Torenli
An article about Brooklyn kids participating in a Nets clinic and cleaning up in the swag department, morphs into an ad for Nets playoff tickets:
Ratner, whose playoff-bound Nets are in his hometown of Cleveland tonight, sponsored the latest in a series of free basketball clinics for Brooklyn kids on Tuesday afternoon at Bishop Ford High School in Park Slope.
Nets legend Darryl Dawkins was on hand to work with the sixth-to-eighth graders, drawn from local youth groups, including the 78th Precinct Youth Council and Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Heads up Brooklyn, if you haven't been bought by Bruce Ratner, that doesn't mean you can't be rebranded:
Each child received a goodie bag including a T-shirt, medal, autographed picture and other gifts from the Nets and Forest City Ratner Companies.
And, git yer playoff tickets here:
Nets individual playoff tickets to all potential first- and second-round games also went on sale Tuesday. Fans can purchase tickets via: www.njnets.com; 1-800-4NBA-TIX; Ticketmaster outlets; or at the Continental Airlines Arena box office.
Prices for first- and second-round tickets will remain the same as for the regular season, beginning at $10. The Nets opponent, as well as the dates and times of the games, will be announced during the week of April 16.
Fans interested in securing the same seats for all playoff rounds can purchase the Nets Playoff Package by calling 1-800-7NJ-NETS.
