Prokhorov Rips Jason Kidd in Press Conference
Brooklyn Nets majority owner, Mikhail Prokhorov, did not disappoint when commenting on the loss of Jason Kidd for the first time in the press conference before the home opener against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Here is what Prokhorov told ESPN:
I think there is a nice proverb in English: Don’t let the door hit you where the good Lord has split you. So I think that each side, we did what we thought was the best and I like what we have now.”
Mikhail Prokhorov has always been great with these short, witty responses.
From the archive. The date on this note is 4 November 2014, which is the day it was written rather than the day it was last touched — nobody has touched it. It reads like something posted in a hurry because that is what it was.
Filed to Nets. Anything that followed from this — and with a story of this kind something usually did — was filed to the same desk, which is why the desk reads better than the note.
By season it belongs to 2014-15, which accounts for 95 of the 130 pieces on that desk. Read next to the rest of that season it makes considerably more sense than it does alone, because most notes of this size are one line in a story that ran for weeks.
Why keep it at all, given the length. Because the address still receives readers — out of a search, out of a link in somebody else’s writing, out of a bookmark — and answering them with a redirect to the front page is worse than answering them with the short thing they actually asked for. Every address the old site had was kept when this one was re-set.
