Hello Brooklyn! Thaddeus Young moves to the borough

Earlier this month, Thaddeus Young, his wife Shekinah and their two sons moved from New Jersey to near the Brooklyn Bridge on the other side of the East River. In doing so, he's become the first Nets player to settle in the borough.

As Mike Mazzeo reports, Young and his wife wanted stability, both in picking the Nets and picking Brooklyn. (A $50 million contract helped both decisions.)

"I think the biggest thing was just getting my kids settled, because my son T.J. [age 5] is just starting school this year, so that was the main objective to just get him settled.
