BROOKLYN, N.Y. — “For my city, emphasis on my city,” Fabolous rapped in his song “So NY”.
Everything is about his city, and again on Wednesday, it was his time to give back.
Born in Bedford-Stuyvesant, John Jackson, better known as “Fabolous” or “Fab”, has been a vocal part of the Brooklyn community and an integral part of the face of the Brooklyn Nets and Barclays Center. His voice hasn’t wavered.
On Wednesday, the Nets celebrated the borough by wearing their new “City edition” jerseys modeled on the Brooklyn Bridge, thin suspension cables the basis for thin pinstripes, the welcoming arches reflected in the curves of the jersey.
