The book "Brooklyn Bounce: The Highs and Lows of Nets Basketball's Historic First Season in the Borough" documents the first year of the Brooklyn Nets. The arrival of the team and the rise of the Barclays Center was accompanied by much public discussion, heated at times. The sports writer Jake Appleman shadowed the team for the first year in Brooklyn and chronicled its many (sometimes unexpected) highs and lows.
To prepare yourself for the conversation, please take a look at the interview with Jake Appleman.
Join us this Wednesday evening, March 26, at 7:00p.m. in the Brooklyn Collection (Central Library, 2nd floor) as the author Jake Appleman discusses his book with Sam Dolnick, the deputy sports editor of The New York Times.
A wine and cheese reception, as well as distribution of tickets, will precede the event at 6:30 p.m. The Brooklyn Collection is located on the 2nd floor balcony of the Central Library at Grand Army Plaza. Seating is limited to 40.
