WASHINGTON, D.C. —Something very unique happened in Brooklyn on Monday night that’s never happened before when the Nets are playing.
Nets fans showed that they indeed have a soft heart.
In a show of respect, Nets fans went way out of their way to cheer for Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki. From the time Nowitzki was introduced in the starting lineup to every time he touched and shot the ball, the Nets’ fans wrapped their arms around Nowitzki and cheered his every move as if he was one of their own.
“It’s very touching, it’s great to see,” coach Rick Carlisle said.
