Trip to 9-11 Memorial humbling for Nets players, staff

They got off buses near what had been Ground Zero, the scene of the worst devastation on that day in September 2001 when the world changed. Each looked somber as they exited.

All 20 players in camp, their coaches and staff were on hand to visit the National 9-11 Memorial ... and specifically, a new exhibit on the healing power of sports in the aftermath of the attacks.

There are 9-11 memorials as well at the Pentagon and in Shanksville, PA, honoring others who died on September 11, but the attacks are most closely associated with the World Trade Center where 2,700 of the 3,000 killed that day died.
