New Chapter In Big Apple Basketball

This past Monday evening we saw an exciting new chapter of New York basketball tip off as the new look Brooklyn Nets hosted the New York Knicks for the first time in Brooklyn’s new billion dollar facility, the Barclays Center. The on-court product delivered, as the Nets defeated the Knicks in an intense 96-89 overtime battle. 

Aside from the new stunning location, this wasn't your average run of the mill November Knicks vs. Nets matchup. This was the first time the new inner-city matchup has taken place on a national stage, as TNT aired a rare Monday broadcast. The game was moved from its original date due to the devastation of Super Storm Sandy weeks prior. This game served as a platform for all in the New York/New Jersey Area to start the process of carrying on with day to day life after suffering such devastation just weeks ago. It also was a sign that the new-look Brooklyn Nets are to be taken seriously, from a rejuvenated fan-base chanting “Brooklyn” along with Biggie Smalls’ voice on the PA, to Jay-Z's impact on this franchise and connection to the New York fans, there is clearly something special happing in Brooklyn. The most special element about the new-look Nets may be the on court product, which may be a dark house collection of talent to compete for the Eastern Conference crown. From the signing of Joe Johnson and Deron Williams, to the development of young players like Brook Lopez, and Providence College's Marshon Brooks, to the contributions of veterans Reggie Evans and Jerry Stackhouse, the Nets on court product is the best it has been since current Knick Jason Kidd was talking them to the NBA finals. Get excited Brooklyn fans, the Nets just may be the new toast of the town.
