There's no rule on what geographical area is used for team names (see Warriors, Golden State). So why not Brooklyn, which has a very distinct personality? It's also worth noting that with 2.5 million residents, Brooklyn would be the 4th-largest city in the US, if it were still an independent city. And yes, I grew up in Brooklyn, so perhaps I'm biased. >> But most likely the New York Nets. > > What's wrong with THE Nets? :-) > Would you have all of the other teams drop the locations from their names, too? =p= >> Stay informed about: New Jersey Nets or New York Nets?
