Brooklyn's Finest... and First: Nets Introduce Isaiah Whitehead in Coney Island

Brooklyn NetsBROOKLYN, N.Y. -- Four seasons and the Brooklyn Nets FINALLY have their first player from the borough. The Nets introduced Isaiah Whitehead at a press conference outside of the Nets Shop in Coney Island, Tuesday, in front of friends, family and even spectators just walking by the famed Nathans. It couldn't get any more 'Brooklyn' than that.

Whitehead, 21, is the first Brooklyn native to play for the Nets and comes from Lincoln High School -- the same school that Brooklynnites Stephon Marbury, Sebastian Telfair and Lance Stephenson played for. He will wear Vince Carter's famed number 15.

For the Nets -- and Whitehead -- it's a big deal to have somebody finally represent Brooklyn…
