Not a fan of any of the Jersey pro squads but i do feel Jersey is getting the short end of the stick when it comes to pro sports. Giants and Jets play in New Jersey but since a decade or more ago they both don the title New York. No pro baseball team, a hockey team that is not a true main attraction, and the Nets are in northern NJ. This leaves all of south jersey to root for Philly teams because they are closer to Philadelphia than NY.
Now the only pro NBA team in NJ want to move to Brooklyn and build a state of the art Arena. There is all kind of facts and figures that says this makes sense but im opposed to the move. Outside of a Knicks vs. Nets rivalry, (Lame one at that), what good does a team in Brooklyn do for the league. Unless they get the new Russian owner to bank roll LeBron James and his entourage, then like Jay-Z says Brooklyn we go hard!
This move won't give rapper Jay-Z more to rap about because he is truly and literally a minority owner. This move only works because of the deal made with Russian Millionare to buy 81percent of the franchise and foot the bill for the move. Can't say the NBA isn't an equal opportunity employer.
I guess NJ will have to continue living in the shadow of NY and that may be forever.
Keep God First
