Hey there everyone, I was just wondering if anyone could fill me in on some information about this. I have seen this for a couple of years now and have wanted to go but just couldn't find the time. Anyways, I know people have gone in the past on this board, and I was just curious in finding out about these appearances. Like are you able to get autographs with the players, should you show up early, do you have to bring stuff to get signed or do they supply stuff. If anyone who has gone in the past could let me know what these events entail, I would greatly appreciate that.

Ive gone the past two years and it has been diffrent each year. In 2006 I went to Garden State Plaza, and went to the Footlocker their to see Jason Kidd,Clifford Robbinson, and Mikki Moore. Kidd only signed autographs of purchased Footlocker items. Mikki Moore and Cliford Robinson were cool and you could take pictures and have convos with them. In 2007, I went to Garden State Plaza again and visited Vince Carer,Sean Willians,Robert Hite,and Jamal Maglore. Their they had people line up and you could get 1 item of your bringing signed. It was pretty cool, I was able to chat with Carter, and people were allowed to play 1-1 against Sean Williams.

If you have the time and are a Nets fan its a cool find, considering if your lucky a lot of people dont know about it. In 2006 I was their an hour early and was the only one their, people basicly found out by just passing by as Kidd walked in. However in 2007 I was their an hour early and their was at least 30 people already waiting. So it all depends.

It was funny the guy came up to me and handed me two tickets to the game and I was like I'm a season ticket holder and he was like oh you don't need these and handed them to my girlfriend. lol.

 

[isrus]

Send them my way! (jk)

 

[chris86]

It was really fun to go to this year, I was able to go to the one at pathmark in clifton, and then me and my bro were able to shoot over to lodi and get to home depot where carter, simmons, ager, and boone were. The one at Home Depot was really funny, because they had the players working, with aprons on and everything. Carter was behind the paint desk when I was there, and Ager was behind the register. Overall it was fun and I would recommend it for any nets fan out there for next year. You get some good quality time where you can see these guys up close and get their autographs as well.
