Prokhorov: Nets Will Be Champs
Lost in the political coverage of Mikhail Prokhorov's promise to divest himself of billions if elected Russia's president is this: an interview from last week in which he re-affirmed his promise to make the Nets NBA champions by 2015. According to the Sports Tribune, Russia's big sports site (and...
Prokhorov's Position Uncertain
The Nets found out that their owner was running for President of Russia when he announced it.

Nets On Way To Billion Dollars?
A little more than a year ago, Mikhail predicted that his investment in the Nets and Barclays Center would reach a billion dollars by 2015. That would seem to be as unlikely a prediction as his more famous claim that the Nets would be NBA champions by the same year. Never doubt a guy whose fortune...
