Most likely the Jersey tshirts.

If it's an actual swingman, that'd be mighty impressive.

I heard the Boston team Shop was giving away Kyrie jerseys too. Not many takers though

I’m really curious what the quality level will be.

They're replica jerseys. They retail for $60 I think.

But you guys realize how much jerseys cost to make? The markup on them is insane.

Easily costs less than $10 to make a replica Irving jersey.

The real angle is that they want to make sure the crowd is full of Nets jerseys and not Knicks when this game happens. :wink:

Have you seen some of the bobble heads they hand out? Half of them look like the dude in OG robocop who drives head first into a vat of toxic waste.

Weird, because that's probably a game they won't have issues selling tickets for.

Look at it. If given free I could use it as a wash cloth or a floor mat cover.

Yeah, well they are giving them to Knick fans in a troll attempt. Why give them something nice?
:lol:

It’ll always be a Knick town no matter what prop the nets try to pull. That’s just the reality

Knck fans say that as if it's more important than winning. I guess you're satisfied with losing.

That's one way of making sure someone wears a Brooklyn jersey.

This guy is an enormously disappointing player.
Arguably the best handles of any NBA player, ever, with prodigical level shooting and finishing ability, yet has the self awareness of a pigeon whilst believing he is some sort of genius off the basketball court.

Good luck Nets fans.

Is this to ensure that there are more Nets fans in the arena vs Knicks fans? So the booing won't be so loud?

Either way, if it’s a real jersey that’s a REALLY nice giveaway.

There are more Knick fans in NYC than Nets fans and anyone can buy tickets to those games. It is a troll attempt at Knick fans....and hilarious.

It isn't a troll attempt at Knicks fans. They're doing this to fill the arena. It is entirely about attendance. Last year the Nets were dead last in average home attendance.

Besides, 10,000 jerseys costs a nice chunk of change and I cant think of any franchise that would spend that kind of money on a "troll attempt." That would immediately get someone fired.

They are doing it because of increased ticket sales. So, every few months they will do free giveaways like the New York Yankees. It’s really that simple. Anyone going to complain about 10,000 free action figures on Marvel night or what?

I’m waiting.

They started selling out late in the season and the entire PO. They always sell out Knick games...oh and they just signed Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Selling tickets is no longer an issue, but at minimum it certainly isn't an issue vs. the Knicks and never has been. This is nothing but baiting their rivals who at one point thought they were the favorites to come out with KD, Kyrie and even Zion this offseason.

I would imagine this is a subtle troll job by the Nets towards the Knicks as the Knicks couldnt get Irving.

Nothing subtle about it. This is the Nets management giving the Knicks the middle finger.
