Queen Latifah was the big star Thursday at the IZOD, turning the Nets' arena into the set for her latest movie, "Just Wright". Latifah plays the Nets' trainer. She helps one of the team's stars, played by Common, rehab and in the process they fall in love. Bobby Simmons plays himself and more than 1,000 Nets fans were extras (and got paid for showing up!). Quite a reversal from the norm (or is it reversible?)
