Can’t wait to see what’s in store for New York’s newly anointed Brooklyn Nets. Barclays Center will officially open on Friday, September 28th when Jay-Z performs the first of his eight sold-out concerts. And on November 1st the Nets will play their season opener against their cross-borough rival Knicks at the recently-christened, billion-dollar arena. Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov supplied the resources to retain superstar point guard Deron Williams and surround him with talented players. This should be an exciting year for Nets fans, both old and new.
