I have a confession ... if the Nets move to Brooklyn, I turn into a Nets fan. I love the Knicks. But I love Brooklyn more. You all can have at me. Had to get that off my chest.

There can only be one Basketball team in New York

I'm a Knicks fan because I live in NY. But if I live in NY and live in Brooklyn then thats a no brainer. I'm gonna become a Net fan. Better management, better players, yeah I think the real NY fans will love to have two teams more chances for title.

i'm a Giant fan but i root for the jets. But i only consider myself a Giant fan. Same with the Rangers, islanders, devils

I see your point I to am a Giant fan and like to see both teams do well. But I have to say the Giants did both team in this year. I can definitely see myself rooting for both the Knicks and Nets teams.

No, Brooklyn is the Center of the Universe. Brooklyn deserves more than just the Cyclones. We deserve a professional team. Brooklyn basketball team in the NBA? Can you imagine the hype when we get hometown guys playing there, on national TV playing pro ball for Brooklyn?!

bernard, I'm with you. There comes a time in a man's life when he has to take sides. If Brooklyn gets an NBA team, I'm there. Pro sports returns to Brooklyn after 47 years. I can just see it now.

Great Knick teams I saw was the last 73' run, and two Net championships in the ABA. I saw the lost ABA game, a great come from behind to win the last ABA championship.

The knicks turned down Doc J for payment of reparations to enter the NBA. Layden was in Jr High school then! Not his gig. They sold Him to philly, and that was very tramatic to us Net fans. Back then, the Knicks were the class, but the nets were the renegades and put on a hell of a show. The NBA was scared of the ABA talent. Nets selling Dr. J was like the Redsox selling babe ruth!

But the split was we loved both the teams and they did not compete in the same league. ONce the Nets hit the nba, they quickly became a joke, moved to Jersey, which we thought it was very silly.

Being from Brooklyn, I could see an affection for that team if they moved there. I would not expect this current team to be together much in 4 years. The team would be dead meat in jersey,and should play out on LI. They would draw better.

Im glad we got a team back in the carolinas...........


I never got into the hornets. Dumb management! We loved LJ here in his prime. Mourning was awsome, but real grumpy. He'd freak out all the time. The dude needed to be a tad softer, he would just lose his mind out there and we thought he would kill some one. They and Miami would lose games getting torqued out. Mourning looked like poster boy for roid rage.

Knicks always first and formost. I do wish the nets well. I prefer the knicks win the next ring.

Nix and Nets would be a good New York thing.

How can you guys say u would root for the Nets!! I would definately go to a few games and want them to win but if the BROOKLYN Nets ever played the Knicks, I'm all about the blue and orange!

I hope you guys share my point of view.

question for people who live in Brooklyn. Where would they play? would they build a new staduim or what?

Fuk all you cracked heads! There can only be one team in NY.

ONE TEAM ONE NY!
Get with the program! The Nets belong in the Suburbs, leave them alone.

What would GO NY GO NY GO mean if there is another team there? GO MANHATTAN and GO BROOKLYN doesn't sounds as cool.

There's an LIRR terminal on Atlantic and Flatbush, right near BAM and the new Target/office complex. It's Fort Greene, basically. Downtown Brooklyn is crazy with construction and new business right now. Eventually, we may have to secede from NYC altogether. That would solve the issue Silverfuel brings up.

I'm a relative newcomer to Brooklyn, never used to understand why people from there were always so proud of it, but it took no time for me to convert. I love NY, but I love BK even more. This is where the melting pot starts. This is where the immigrants and working people who built this city live. Hey, no disrespect to the Bronx and Queens, but they just don't have the character, or the characters, Brooklyn has. It's a special little vortex of humanity. I guess you have to live here to appreciate it. It has the best of what makes NYC great, but it's also got real neighborhoods and communities. Manhattan is an awesome spectacle of a place, but it's like living inside a giant machine. Brooklyn is a place to live.

I just hope they change the team name, get rid of the "Nets" stigma. C'mon, who else thinks Brooklyn Knights is a sick name?!

CAN U GUYS PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT BROOKLYN!?!?

ONE TEAM, ONE NY!
