Brooklyn Nets Point Guard Deron Williams Is On The Latest Cover of Sports Illustrated

Handsome fella. 

Though this is the 9th time that the Nets have graced the cover of SI, it's the first time that the Brooklyn Nets have been featured -- therefore, we here at FiPS promise to withold from bitching about the Barclays Center for the rest of the day. But check back tomorrow when we whine about the lack of cell phone signal in the area during the recent Jay-Z concerts.

Who Gives a Shit: What Do You Think of the Nets' Cheerleader Outfits?

Leave your most well-thought-out adjectives in the comments section below, por favor. 

The Cost of Luxury at a Brooklyn Nets Game Is...

This Monday, 160 box seats just above the lower level of The Barclays Center will be sold for $165/game per person, or $7,260 for the entire season. The price includes a separate entrance to the arena, unlimited food and access to Jay-Z's 40/40 Club. 

This is definitely a hell of a lot cheaper than dropping nearly $1M on the best seats in the house for an entire Knicks season.

So: Any takers?

Today is a SUPER IMPORTANT DAY in FiPS history! Unfortunately, it's probably not for the reason you were hoping. We're NOT being purchased by Park Slope Snatch Patch. Sorry.

Get this...it's a SUPER IMPORTANT DAY for a TOTALLY SPORTS-RELATED REASON. That's right...SPORTS!

Today we're going to talk about the Brooklyn Nets without (mostly) acting like whiney lil' bitches & swiping at the low-hanging fruit that is the Nets' monstrosity of an arena & history of ineptitude...SUPER IMPORTANT DAY.

For most of the past decade, hoops fans here in NYC haven't had shit to get excited about. Sure for a brief moment last year it looked like the Knicks were worth our attention. That dream died quickly along with Jeremy Lin's knees & Amare Stoudemire's temper. As for the Nets, well...they haven't been exciting since the Jason Kidd heyday of the early oughts, making them an easy target for anyone with a pulse & an opinion.

Sans the blue tape, of course. What do you think -- is it a step up or down from the current New Jersey logo?
