Sports Illustrated
Kings County residents better tread very carefully this week, now that the borough and their sports avatars, the Brooklyn Nets, have been featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated. The issue, which goes on sale today, dives into the history of Brooklyn sports, as seen through the eyes of a writer who covered the borough’s basketball scene in the 1970s. It also explains why Brooklyn is a perfect landing place for the hard-luck Nets, and how the “fertile noggin of excitable, cheerleading Marty Markowitz” originally thought Donald Trump could be a potential buyer of the Nets.
