By now you know that the New York Knicks and the Brooklyn Nets will face off for the first NBA game in Brooklyn's history on Nov. 1st at 7 pm. None other than the perfect voice of Marv Albert could be used as promotion for the season opener at the Barclays Center.
"Live from Brooklyn, New York, it's opening night for the Brooklyn Nets at the spectacular new Barclays Center. This is Marv Albert, welcoming a world-wide audience on TNT and the sold-out crowd here is electric, ready to see All-Star point guard Deron Williams lead the Brooklyn Nets against the New York Knicks.
"They'll be talking about this night for years to come as one of the biggest events in New York sports' illustrious history. The return of major professional sports to the borough is what Brooklynites have been dreaming about since the Dodgers broke their hearts and moved to L.A. in 1957.
"It was for moments like this that the Nets were determined to re-sign Deron Williams. But Brooklyn is back in the big leagues, and a "Who's Who?" of Brooklyn sits courtside, including JAY Z and Barbra Streisand, among others.
"We're about to tip off this historic event: the Nets vs. the Knicks; Brooklyn's Backcourt of Deron Williams and Joe Johnson against Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire; a capacity crowd for opening night at Barclays Center. Hello Brooklyn!"
