08:13 AM ET 09.20 | Before the season even opens, Brooklyn has a win over New York in one category: National television shows. The Nets -- relocated, revamped and re-branded -- will soon arrive in Brooklyn with an army of cameras documenting every dribble for the NBA TV series "The Association." The behind-the-scenes series will focus on the Nets as they work to establish a new identity and challenge the Knicks for supremacy in New York. The first episode will be broadcast Oct. 16 at 10 p.m. Eastern. ... "The Association" is the N.B.A.???s answer to "Hard Knocks," the HBO series that follows an N.F.L. team through training camp. But the N.B.A. series goes further, tracking a team on and off the court throughout the season.

Reality tv didn't do much for the Dolphins. It's only a distraction so good luck with that!

This reality show fad is the worst thing to happen to television since Charles In Charge was on the air.

Yeah, well here's what Apple has to say.....The Nets are a sideshow in comparison to th Knicks. The Jets are a sideshow in compariso to the Giants. The Mets are a sideshow in comparison to the Yankees. So all you outsiders that's not from New York, the message is clear, this bad rap rhyme that is the Nets, Mets & Jets is only something you hold on to in order to feed your desired hatred of main representation of excellence that is called Yanks, GMEN, & Knicks. These spotlight seekers and champions of failure don't represent New York's greatness by any stretch so folks/haters get a grip in trying to tie these losers to New York's faithful.........it just ain't happening, so stop it will ya!
