BP MARKOWITZ STATEMENT ON PUBLISHED REPORTS OF TALKS TO KEEP NETS IN NEW JERSEY

“After years of obscurity mired in the Meadowlands, the Nets are ready for a slam dunk in the Brooklyn big leagues—who knows, maybe the Devils want to lace up and come here too! If my esteemed colleague Cory Booker in Brooklyn’s ‘western suburb,’ a.k.a. Newark, New Jersey, is looking for a professional basketball team, maybe he should ask the Knicks. But seriously, I own a Brooklyn Nets jersey and I’m ready to suit up and cheer for our new ‘dem bums’ in Brooklyn’s fabulous new Barclay’s Center.”

—— Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz
