<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Jay-Z needs no introduction. (If by chance you are a prospective Brooklyn Net Fan unfamiliar with his work, you better Google him now, because the franchise will not wait for you to catch up) In music he started from nothing, building his own music label to release one of the most classic Hip Hop albums of the 20th Century (Reasonable Doubt) A decade after it’s release he took his label to the top of the Hip Hop food chain by leasing out his brand into other properties that included clothing, film, and so much more. Simply said, the man knows how to take a product into the marketplace. Maybe even more importantly than that, he’s also probably the childhood hero for many of the players in the league. Can you say that about your boss?</div>

It's from a Knicks fan perspective about the Nets moving to Brooklyn in 2010. I never thought about it this way before.

as a suffering Knicks fan in the stages of converting I must agree w/ this article, The Knicks are as good as dead in NYC especially w/ James Dolan at the helm. You can only take so much, you can root for them but when the character, heart, ownership and even the people that work there are now a monopoly I haven't gone to Knicks game since 05 - 06

Can you imagine a huge billboard with Jay-Z's "roc" hand gesture...and the Nets logo inside it? Sell out crowds; gyeah.

Plus depending on how he's marketed, I could see my name strung out in huuuuge letters around BK.
