Markel Brown and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson became fast friends after the Nets traded for RHJ and sent the two down to Orlando for summer league, then cross country to Las Vegas. They hung out, practiced and played well together. In fact, you can call them very fast friends because that's what the Nets want them to be: young, athletic, character guys.
The team took note of the chemistry early. They taped them visiting Universal Studios Theme Park, set up a joint Q. and A. on the team's Twitter account in which Rondae challenged Markel to a dunk contest and arranged for them put their friendship to the test when an interviewer quizzed them to see how well they knew each other.
