Though the NBA lockout continues, and the players have now rejected the league’s contract offer and shut down their union, the Nets still went ahead with their “Brooklyn Experience” rally outside of Borough Hall yesterday, according to the New York Times.
Though still located in New Jersey, the team will move to the Barclays Center area when construction is finished. Ironically, the rally was held on the same day that construction workers held a press conference about their legal suit against the developers behind the Atlantic Yards mega-project, which includes the new stadium.
Still, fans lined up outside of Borough Hall to shoot hoops, while others enjoyed music from a D.J. and Nets dancers shimmied adopt a 40-foot promotional trailer.
