No one has ever mentioned this, or given a sh*t about this, for years. Suddenly, after the Nets built a practice facility into their arena, MSG is "horrible" because the Knicks practices facility is "so far away" in Westchester.
Oh my heavens, but where will the basketball players live?
I don't know. Maybe in Westchester, for the onerous commute into the city of 30-45 minutes, for HALF the year, the ones that millions of people in the tri-state area take every day. Well, the ones that don't have commutes of 1 to 1.5 hours.
It's amazing how the press eat up and regurgitate this Nets propaganda. As if the commute into Brooklyn might not take roughly 30 minutes, for the upper east or upper west side, IF a player wanted to live in those parts of Manhattan, as opposed to living in Brooklyn or Soho or Tribeca.
I'm saying having the practice facility right there doesn't have some appeal, but it's funny how the Nets are attempting to over blow this fact and the presses willingness to go along.
It's just silly.
Most of the players don’t even live in the city hahahahah
Exactly. There in Westchester or Northern NJ or I'd guess out on LI, some of them.
