PrintThe Nets still have two games "stateside" before they head to London for games vs. the Raptors at the end of next week but the British capital is getting ready. On Friday, the mayor, Boris Johnson, inaugurated the first ever "UK-NBA Basketball Week" at City Hall and talked about his hopes for the London Games.
The games will be played at the 02 Arena, the basketball venue for the 2012 Olympics. Expect two Nets point guards to get questions about the Olympics. Deron Williams won a gold in Beijing and Ben Uzoh, the child of Nigerian immigrants, reportedly has an open invitation to join Team Nigeria.
It won't be a vacation. In addition to the two "home" games, there will be NBA Cares basketball clinics, a coaching clinic, a Sprite 3-on-3 tournament, Foot Locker Three-Point contest and appearances from NBA legends the New Jersey Nets Dancers, Sly the Nets team mascot, the Nets Dunkin Divas and Team Hype. Kim Kardashian and Jay-Z are expected as well. One thing missing: there will be no rematch between Devin Harris and Stuart Tanner.

"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
Ian Eagle thought.....
…The Efial Tower was in London on the Nets upcoming schedule when they draw the pictures on the telestator. haha
Nets are 2154 NBA CHAMPIONS
I think it was the czar
JKidd Era 2! Starring D.Williams as the lead actor, Avery Johnson as Byron Scott, and Player X as Player Y.
Let the show begin!
Oh true....
…it was still funny. Ian was like “it’s a Teepee” then the czar was like “no, Its the eifel tower” lol classic.

Watching the Knicks and Nets last night
it appears to me that these additions are both overrated. It’s all about defense and neither of these players help on that end. Karl already is on record saying Melo doesn’t even play it and as good as Deron is, watching the Spurs go past Lopez at will last night doesn’t make the his addition that significant to me. Wait till we play Toronto back to back, its teams that we should beat which are few and far between, that will give a realistic view of the future. Of course the excuse that we need time to gel will always be there but the die hards will slowly come back to reality.
Life as a Net fan
Can it get any worse? There's always tomorrow.
Ammo for 3 point contest yes?

I will be there on Friday
Court side seats to see my Nets win against the Raptors. Can’t wait to see DWill live in action. I’m hoping i get a glimpse of the main man Prokhorov.
I hope my submission will be posted by Nets Daily of what the event is like.
Go Nets!
I've changed my username to give full respect to our owner who is turning around this franchise.
C'mon Deron Better. Brooklyn Empire AKA New York Brooklyn the new team name for the Nets in 2012

Wow..
They’re really flying Team Hype out to London? God, I don’t think they should even be allowed in Newark let alone London.. Hope they had to pay for their own travel arrangements because if not I should have learned how to flip and fall years ago!
Regardless, I’m excited to watched these games and I’m sure the London crowd is ready for some NBA action!
