Nets Announcer Going Home

Nets fans are getting familar with David Diamante's calls at Prudential Center. The Brooklynite with the dreads took over P.A. duties this season and has developed a few signature calls already. But Diamante's voice is likely to get (even) richer next season when he'll be calling games at Barclays Center, then retiring to his cigar lounge a few blocks away.

"It's going to be electric vibe in that Barclays Center," Diamante says sitting in one of his lounge's big leather chairs. And he adds, he can hardly wait for what will happen after games. "I think we going to have some great after-parties, pre-parties, post-parties."
