Yellow attire flooded the Barclay’s Center, its surrounding streets, and subways this afternoon, not in an attempt to keep up with the Easter theme, but to welcome a king.
Sure, a game was also played between the Brooklyn Nets and the Los Angeles Lakers today in Brooklyn. The Nets hosted LA in game No. 75 of 82, finishing off a mini-home stand and welcoming back Spencer Dinwiddie...again.
But at the tail end of a lost season, it’s fair to assume most of those who attended today’s game did so to see LeBron James rather than a Nets postseason push.
