In Little Noticed Move, NBA Takes Control of BrooklynNets.com
NetsDaily
The NBA has taken control of the url, BrooklynNets.com, and now automatically directs traffic from that link to the BarclaysCenter.com NetsBasketball page. According to the domain's history, the web address was controlled for years by a motorcycle site, which first registered it in 2003, not long after Bruce Ratner expressed interest in buying the team. On March 21, NBA Media Ventures LLC at the league's New York headquarters was listed as the website's registrant for the first time.
For years, the site featured one page, featuring a drawing of a basketball player and a top-hatted, tuxedo-wearing, one-eyed plutocrat doing battle and the phrase, "Tim Hailey's Brooklyn Nets vs. The Residents".
