" I don't wear jerseys, I'm thirty plus..."
.....unless I own the team, then I will make an exception.
Certainly not startling news, but as the Barclays Center opened up for business this past Thursday, Jay-Z launched his first of 7 straight performances to a sold out crowd in front of his hometown Brooklyn crowd. He rocked a team hat and jersey for the crowd, despite his rap claim to never wear them, and has now christened the Kings County with their own awesome spectacle for concerts and events, mainly the Brooklyn Nets. Somehow, despite no games having been played yet, it already feels like the Nets will make noise with their squad and new arena to quickly outshine (and encourage hatred from) the NY Knicks. It's an exciting time to live in BKNY, until the rent goes up so high that it turns into Manhattan, Jr., but until then it is nice to see Brooklyn spread the love and acclaim that Biggie desired back in the day. Hate on Jigga for many things, but his grind from the projects of BK to the crown prince of BK didn't take very long and his "hard knocks MBA" has finally brought him the cornerstone of an empire. Stadium status indeed!
