Mixed Reviews: Prokhorov Makes Waves But Doesn’t Get Results in Season One
Brooklyn Daily Eagle
by John Torenli
The best thing an audience can say about an upstart reality television series or hot new dramatic cable saga is that they can’t wait to see what happens next season.
Based on that scenario, Mikhail Prokhorov’s first full campaign as principal owner of the New Jersey (soon-to-be-Brooklyn) Nets has been a smashing success.
Since the 45-year-old metal tycoon has taken charge, the Nets have been more newsworthy than usual, gaining arguably their most attention since Jason Kidd led them to back-to-back NBA Finals appearances in 2002 and 2003.
A check of the franchise-in-transition’s record, both on and off the court, however, indicates that the positive results have been based much more on style than substance.
