    The Brooklyn Brawler (pictured above) can be their mascot. Greatest WWF wrestler ever.

    I get the impression that this guy is a Grade-A douchebag whose attention-whoring will rival that of Mark Cuban. I predict that he will be a meddling owner despite having no experience with the league and that his impatience will hurt the basketball product over time. Once the novelty of "big, funny-talking foreign guy" wears off, he will be exposed as a meddling, attention-whoring, poor decision-making douchebag who will ultimately sell the team and buy a night club where he'll play a lot of horrible music causing that business to fail as well.

    I'm ecstatic that he's not the owner of my favorite team.

    seems like he was bored and didnt know what to do with500 million dollars so he got a NBA team.

    They could get Lebron, saying: "if you sign with the team, you can rename it with anything you like"

    The New Jersey Lebrons haha :grin:

    Wow, you have probably seen him talk and interact for 3 days tops and you are already calling him a douchebag on the level of Cuban?

    You must not make new friends easily.

    I expected comments like that. Fair enough.

    I also get the sense that he feels like he's above the NBA and that he won't be well-liked within his organization or other NBA circles.

    I feel exactly the same way. He says the right things but gives off a "my way is the ONLY way" attitude. Between that and his promises of the playoffs next year and a Championship in five, I get the feeling he:

    A: has little respect for the league and how teams are run
    B: has no idea what he got himself into
