Prokhorov's debut continues: caption contest for Bloomberg meeting; team name might change; one-liners charm reporters
Atlantic Yards Report
Norman Oder rounds up the Prokhorov lovefest, including some stuff we missed.
In a breakfast with the mayor and a press conference with reporters, new Nets majority owner Mikhail Prokhorov continued his American debut yesterday, with raves from sports reporters impressed by his demeanor and one-liners and unmindful of, oh, things like eminent domain or charges of sanctions-busting in Zimbabwe.
And, as the video from ESPN below shows, Prokhorov has even been schooled to utter a Ratnerian mantra, though surely he will be advised to amend "affordable houses and jobs" to "affordable housing and jobs."
