In surprise training session, Mikhail Prokhorov instructs Brooklyn Nets in Tibetan Martial Arts

Players and beat writers knew Mikhail Prokhorov was dropping by Duke Wednesday morning, but unlike previous drop-by's, this wasn't a meet-and-greet between owners and players. Oh no. This being Mikhail Prokhorov and the wild and crazy Russian ownership, you should expect the unexpected.

After watching a scrimmage from the bench, Prokhorov and his trainer (assisted by his P.R. woman, Ellen Pinchuk!) had the 20 Nets sit in a semi-circle as he sat near the baseline and started handling some soccer-sized balls in strange and wonderful ways. It was Tescao, Tibetan Martial Arts! Of course, it was.
