Nets to be ‘100 percent, Brooklyn-based’ in 2015
Unveil plans for new practice facility in Sunset Park's Industry City
By 2015, the Nets will be “all in” for Brooklyn.
Our borough’s NBA franchise announced Thursday morning, only hours before hosting its second consecutive Draft at Downtown’s Barclays Center, that by the season after next it would be practicing at the yet-to-be-constructed Hospital for Special Surgery Training Center in the heart of Sunset Park’s Industry City.
Nets general manager Billy King, who admitted he would be busy working his phone during the time remaining between the 11 a.m. announcement and Thursday evening’s Draft, bragged that the Nets were on the brink of becoming the Big Apple’s true home team.
