Nets Are A Serious Player For LeBron James

For much of the past six to seven months, the New York Jets have been touted as New York's newest and biggest sensation with their brash coach, Rex Ryan, and promising future with young players, i.e. Mark Sanchez, Shonn Greene, Darrell Revis and Nick Mangold.

If New Jersey Nets owner Mikahl Prokorov gets his way, and quickly, that could all change.

It started with a mural painted on 34th street near Madison Square Garden, that reads "The Blueprint for Greatness" with pictures of Prokorov and rapper Jay-Z on the facade. The Nets are ready to make a leap and become the hottest team from tabloids to the business section and eventually the back page, with their brand of international marketing.

According to a column on Yahoo.com, Prokorov could get everything he wants if he can begin to convince a Godzilla sized free agent in LeBron James to come to New Jersey to play in Newark for two years, before the Nets move to Brooklyn in 2012. The columnist believes it could happen, James could become a Net, and he makes a convincing argument. Read here.

If James does become a Net, it will make the Nets, a team that won 12 games all year, the biggest ticket not named the Yankees.
