Nets Center Visits Future Home in Brooklyn
NBC New York
by Geoffrey Decker
The New Jersey Nets aren’t due in Brooklyn for another year and a half, but star center Brook Lopez is scouting the territory.
He visited Bushwick High School this week for a basketball clinic where he shot hoops, signed autographs, and posed for pictures with about 50 students.
“Being that Brooklyn will be our home in a few years, it’s nice to get out here whenever I can,” said the third-year seven-footer.
...At Tuesday’s event, which was hosted by the U.S. Army to promote physical fitness, an informal poll of the crowd revealed that no one intended to switch allegiances from New York just yet.
“I think I’m a Knick fan for life,” said Keith Williams, a senior guard at Bushwick.
