LeBron Fuels Speculation He Could End Up In NYC

Jul 01, 2008 11:32 AM EST

LeBron James listed New York as his favorite city on Monday, which is fueling speculation that he can end up playing there as a member of the Knicks or Nets.

"My favorite borough? Brooklyn," James said, choosing the proposed future home of the New Jersey Nets over the borough of Manhattan, where the Knicks play their home games. "Brooklyn is definitely a great place here in New York City, and some of my best friends are from Brooklyn, so I stick up for them.

"They have a right to dream about it, and I can't take that away from them. My friendship was way before Jay was part-owner of the Nets, and I loved the Garden way before I got to the NBA," James said. "For some reason when I get to the Garden I always play well, so they want me to do it 41 games instead of just two nights a year."

isn't he good friends with Jay-Z who partially owns the Nets? He cant go to the Nets for awhile considering his contract is done in 2010...Nets have to do some cuts to make the cap too

The FA class of 2010 is going to be stacked.

Where Brooklyn at?!?!

If the Nets hope to get him, they better start building an arena in Brooklyn soon. I don't think playing in the Meadowlands will cut it.

Question: Are they also going to go back to being the New York Nets like they were in the ABA?
