| Summary |
"When the Nets played their first game at Barclays Center in downtown Brooklyn in the fall of 2012, they succeeded in bringing professional sports back to Brooklyn for the first time since the Dodgers abandoned the borough in 1957. [This book] chronicles the historic first season, full of highs and lows--plenty of them entirely unexpected"-- Provided by publisher. |
