Steph Curry dropped by Brooklyn last night and drew 18,413 basketball fans to Barclays Center, the biggest crowd ever for a Nets game in the borough. It’s the highlight of a season that despite a lot of losing, injuries and roster changes has not been a calamity for attendance at Barclays Center.
Privately, in hushed tones, the people who run the Brooklyn Nets admit that they’re quite surprised that fans are continuing to support the team they way they have despite the rebuild, reboot, er tank.
Maybe you can rebuild in New York after all.
