Proky is a Jokey. So is his team. He makes those statements to feed the media and the Knicks haters. They are no world-beaters, or even NYC-beaters with that crew they have. All they really did was add Iso Joe. No big deal. All the rest of nothing but media marketing hype. The Nets will ALWAYS be nothing but the scum under the shoes of true Knicks fans. As far as I'm concerned, ain't a damn thing changed.
I was born in Brooklyn, raised in Brooklyn, currently live in Brooklyn and STILL and will ALWAYS remain a KNICKS fan. Period.
Spike Lee, I hear you, brotha. Real fans don't switch up, even if the wannabe "rival" from Jersey sets up shop in our back yard. Whatever.
Let the fickle fools toot the Nets' horn. That team won't "take over" anything outside of the corner of Flatbush & Atlantic Avenues. Those scraps, they can have.
The one thing that I am glad about with the whole Brooklyn Nets stuff is that it forces the Knicks to step up their game in more ways than one. We've seen the effects of that pressure already. Having the little Nets trying to make themselves relevant in this city, will keep the Knicks on their toes.
That Barclays Arena is less than 20 blocks from my house, and looks like an old, rust-ridden spaceship that crashed there a long time ago.
Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year.
GO KNICKS!
