Ever since it was announced that the Nets would be moving to Brooklyn, we wondered what their name would be. We know that it wouldn’t have “New York” in it (allegedly at the request of the Knicks), but now we finally have our answer.
Rap mogul Jay-Z will headline a series of concerts to open Brooklyn’s new Nets arena next fall – and will make it official Monday: The team will be named for his hometown.
The superstar, who owns a small piece of the soon-to-be renamed Brooklyn Nets, will perform at eight concerts to celebrate the grand opening of the arena – where all-access passes are going for up to $15,400 a season.
