The Last Dance in Jersey: Nets hold final practice in East Rutherford

The Nets have finally broken their last ties with the state of New Jersey. The Nets, who played 38 years in the state, continued to practice at their East Rutherford facility even after the move to Brooklyn in 2012. But that ends Tuesday, as Gary Sussman tweeted.

The practice facility where Jason Kidd asked teammates precisely where wanted the ball, where Vince Carter put on daily dunk displays and where Rod Thorn worked the deals that got the two of them to New Jersey, will become headquarters for the Meadowlands YMCA.
