Cam Wolf, a writer for GQ (formerly and forlornly Gentlemen’s Quarterly), went in search of the Nets fan this week, hoping to examine what Knick fans, among others, don’t believe exist.
From Ethan Hawke, the actor, to Bobby Edemeka, the founder of the Brooklyn Brigade, to Kristin Ferrara, the Knicks convert, to Mina Kimes, ESPN reporter and self-described Nets “superfan,” they share what made them fans and what sustains that fandom in spite of the constant diss left over from the bad old days.
As Wolf notes, the Nets fan is an easy target, recounting a recent segment of the Lowe Post, Zach Lowe’s podcast.
