Knicks fans, perhaps just a teeny bit jealous of the Nets summer success, will constantly remind their Nets counterparts that Brooklyn was last in attendance and that “New York will always be a Knicks town.”
Maybe. David Levy, Joe Tsai’s choice for CEO of the Nets and his other sports properties, think the New York fan base is up for grabs. In short, Tsai and Levy have arrived at a moment they didn’t create ... but can seize.
In comments to New York media, Levy has said the team goal is put a winning team on the court and leverage that to a bigger presence for the Nets in the city and beyond.
