David Stern and Brooklyn’s Nets Dream

The commissioner is confident it eventually will happen: “Although there remains some opposition to the Nets’ move to Brooklyn, Stern seemed confident it will happen. ‘The Nets are going to be on this side of the river, so as a result I think the Brooklyn Nets will have a cache that’s very good for the team, its fans and the NBA…I remain confident that [Nets owner] Bruce Ratner is accurate in telling us that they’re going to begin construction by the end of the year,’ added Stern.”
