The Newark Nets, Starring Shaq
Fanhouse
This item considers the scenario suggested from yesterday's article in the Newark Star-Ledger that would have the New Jersey Nets playing in Newark, rather that in an arena in the proposed Atlantic Yards project.
That headline's a lark in the real world, but one of those cooked-up future realities in the mind of Jersey native Shaquille O'Neal.
Steve Politi of the Newark Star-Ledger has a perplexed Shaq talking about the absurdity of the Nets playing in an N.J. city not named Newark.
Given the barricades blocking the Atlantic Yards project that would send the Nets to Brooklyn, Shaq's talk (after the jump) about making the Newark Nets a real deal don't sound too far-fetched.
