The way things are going for the Brooklyn Nets, they’ll be lucky to have a competitive team to go up against the Knicks next season. But, nevertheless, Commissioner David Stern says he expects some ‘more sparks’ in the looming rivalry between the two franchises.
“I am hoping, for more sparks, a few verbal, some build up,” Stern said before the NBA lottery in Midtown Wednesday night. “We are going to have two spectacular new buildings in New York City and we are going to have two very aggressively managed teams.”
“We are awaiting the summer to see how the Nets fulfill their assurances and their aspirations, but we have seen the Knicks moving up quite a bit, and I think that we are going to have, two sold-out arenas, not just for games against each other, but for all games.”
