Mayor Cory Booker, The Devils and The NBA Score Millions for Newark, NJ

MAYOR BOOKER, NBA, AND DEVILS WELCOME THE NEW JERSEY NETS TO NEWARK AT "THE ROCK", PRUDENTIAL CENTER

States NBA franchise making its home at The Rock for 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 seasons; Special discount season tickets will be offered to Newark residents

Newark, NJ - March 5, 2010 - Mayor Cory A. Booker, NBA Deputy Commissioner and COO Adam Silver, New Jersey Nets CEO Brett Yormark, New Jersey Devils Chairman and Managing Partner Jeff Vanderbeek, and Newark Regional Business Partnership President & CEO Chip Hallock, Jr., discussed the Nets interim relocation to the Prudential Center in Newark for the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 seasons during a press conference which was held today in the Verizon Tower of the Prudential Center on the corner of Mulberry and Lafayette Streets.

Also in attendance were Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo, Jr., State Senator Teresa Ruiz, and members of the Newark Municipal Council. YES Networks play-by-play broadcaster for the Nets, Ian Eagle, served as the Master of Ceremonies.

I want to thank the National Basketball Association, the Devils, and the Nets leadership for their support, which has made Newark the new home for the New Jersey Nets. For the residents of the City of Newark, these are not just basketball games. Having the Nets call our city home signifies tangible hope, real inspiration, and many dreams coming true, said Mayor Booker.

The Mayor also highlighted economic development created in the City since the Prudential Center opened and said The Rock has had a tremendous impact on Newark from businesses downtown to the Citys cultural institutions. The Nets will be so explosive and successful that the NBA will have to think hard about moving them to Brooklyn. Newark is Americas Number One Comeback City, and I believe in a comeback season for the Nets!

During the press conference, the Nets also launched their Its All New campaign. The promotional campaign includes commercials, which glamorize the Prudential Center and the City of Newark AKA "Brick City". Also a Cool Layup shot by Mayor Cory Booker being defended by none other that former NBA Super Star Daryl Dawkins .

Grant Henry Hill & roommate Antonio LANG topped college basketball in 1991, winning NCAA title. The pair came up short in 1994, losing the final to ARKANSAS Razorbacks in Charlotte, NC 2,135 days after the Detroit Pistons lost a Memorial Day 1988 Pontiac Silverdome playoff game to Boston Celtics 79-78 on the day MLB Houston Astros 1B GLENN Earl Davis belted 11th season HR. The 1988 NBA Draft: #64 WINSTON George Bennett III; #65 COReY Yasuto GAINES. Unrelated: Naismith HOF coach Clarence GAINES

“Down Low” acknowledges NBA reality of a hook-up in every city. Now Newark gets in on the act. There’s lORA BRANCH & E. Lynn HARRIS. ROSLYN HARVEY evokes First Lady ROSaLYNn Carter + Gantt’s failed U.S. Senate bids in 1990 & ’96. Perhaps the "missing E" from CORY Booker’s bastardization of traditional COReY can be found in raE Lewis THORNton, which bastardizes traditional raY, but unrelatedly to ray beam attack. Unrelated: 241-20-7353 or 578-52-3300—despite one arriving on the other’s 21st b’day

“Down Low” acknowledges the NBA reality of a hook-up in every city. Now Newark gets in on the act. WILMA STONE evokes either the STONE CULT; NFL QB Donovan McNabb’s mama, WILMA; or the Hanna-BARBera “Flintstones” mom of the same name. Unrelated to THAT 561 community; the 501 E. 16th address and probably Newark mayor Cory Booker: DOROTHY STONE Taylor BOOKER. GAIL STONE GRANT evokes NBA’s GRANT HENRY HILL or Cory Booker’s tabloid girlfriend, GAYle King—the BFF of media mogul Oprah GAIL Winfrey.

Code word alert: Everyone knows the devil is in the editing--despite ultra-deft subtlety, it’s hard to miss the shuffle at :29. Only those in attendance know the order of events, but maybe the guy wasn’t impressed with Mayor Cory Booker’s drive to the bucket? Order matter? “Down Low” acknowledges the NBA reality of a hook-up in every city. Now Newark gets in on the act. Got ’em pegged: PEGgy nELMS evokes arch-conservative Jesse hELMS; Angela KENYetta evokes “time rollback” & “puppy love” KENYa

The Nets official (Brett Yorkman?) speaking of the team’s final relocation to BROOKlyn in 2012 at :55 could remind of alternative coupling, since U.S. Sen. RICHARD M. Burr (R-NC) of Winston-Salem is married to BROOKe. That this presser was held at the Prudential Center’s Verizon Tower on the corner of MulBERRY & Lafayette fits nicely with MORGAN STATE alum and New York Times sports columnist William C. RHODEn (who will certainly write about the Nets) since Cory Booker is a RHODEs Scholar

[GWhiz99]

Besides Tim Duncan out of Wake Forest, the most famous NBA player to pass through college in RICHARD M. Burr's (R-NC) Winston-Salem: VERNON EARL "The Pearl" Monroe (b. 11/21/44 in Philadelphia), who was also known as "Black Magic," and his Philadelphia playground nickname, "Jesus." Uber-ambitious Cory Booker's political aspirations could square with Winston-Salem since the off-year election cycle for mayor of Winston-Salem & New York City matches that of elections for governor in New Jersey; VA

Nice to see see such transparency here. Not just in the sparkly new Prudential

Center window front, but also in Newark city government, with the mayor Cory Booker being folksy enough to drive to the hoop vs. a 53-year-old Darryl Dawkins. Unrelated to that 561 community, I'm composing this comment on Nov. 2, 2010 at 9:00 AM--Midterm Election Day, which will see congressional, state & local races decided across the country--the seat of U.S. Sen. Richard M. Burr of Winston-Salem (i)(R) included

Mayor Cory Booker is really working hard to improve Newark... Keep up the good work Bornkool, I enjoy your coverage, cant wait for your next video/film.
