The New York Observer
“I asked for two things out of my partners in ownership is that we rename the New Jersey Nets the Brooklyn Nets, and the second one is that I open it with a concert,” Shawn Carter said at a press conference in front of the under-construction Barclays Center yesterday, which made official the team’s name.
Really Jay? One of the best lyricists in hip-hop history, and the best you could come up with was the Brooklyn Nets?
NoLandGrab: Really New York Observer? With all the issues around Atlantic Yards, the best you could come up with is a discussion of the name "Nets"?
