Petra Pope, who helped develop the Brooklyn flavor for the Nets entertainment experience, has left the team for the Los Angeles Clippers, where she's now creative director for the Los Angeles Spirit.
Pope had been with the Nets since 2005. She was the manager of the Los Angeles Lakers Girls from 1983-1989, then launched the Knicks City Dancers in 1991 -- "There was adifferent owner and it was a different experience,." she said back in 2013. She spent 14 years with the Knicks prior to joining the Nets.
Pope's job was to bring the Nets brand to life with dance teams, music, video production, costumes, lighting, and halftime entertainment.
